Could an EWP save your business up to 30% on labour costs?
If you’re thinking of investing in a spider lift to increase the efficiency of your arborist business, you might be wondering about just how much it can save your business.
As an arborist you’ll already feel the costs of paying your professional tree climbers. It can be up to $700 a day, depending on the area you operate in – or even more depending on their experience and the level of difficulty with the job.
Investing in a spider lift does away with a lot of these costs.
Why does a spider lift help to reduce labour costs?
While you’ll need to have an employee working in the spider lift bucket, it’s a different skill set to climbing – which means it will come at a lower cost of around $250 a day.
Then there’s the efficiency dividend of being able to complete so much more work in a day with a spider lift, compared to even the most skilled climber. And in terms of loyalty and availability of employees, it’s no contest. Your new spider lift won’t be tempted to look elsewhere for more money!
All of this means that, if there is strong competition for the skilled climbers who work in your area, you can keep your business’s costs lower – and therefore make your pricing more competitive for your customers. That’s got to result in more business for you.
