Utilities and telecom

Aerial devices inspected every shift, and proof of it when it matters.

Line crews depend on aerial equipment that must be checked daily and certified on schedule. Fendrel keeps boom, control and dielectric checks on the same record as the chassis, so a lapsed certificate takes the truck off the road before it reaches a site.

A lineworker in a yellow hard hat works from an aerial-lift bucket on an overhead cable splice above a tree-lined suburban street.

What changes

Where utilities and telecom fleets lose time, and what Fendrel does about it.

Two machines on one chassis

The truck runs on distance, the aerial device on engine hours and certificate dates; both sit on one unit.

Certificates that lapse quietly

Dielectric and annual certifications are date-based services with reminders 30 days ahead.

Crews far from the shop

Defects reported from a site include photos and location, so the right part goes out with the mechanic.
