瑞安Kindret, Managing Principal for the Kindret Group and the third generation working in the family business, has been involved with the company as far back as he can remember.

“我在商业环境中长大. I started by watering flowers and then graduated to pushing the lawnmower,” he recalls.

Kindret worked in the family business until his late teens, when he earned a scholarship to go and play hockey at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. 2009年，肩伤结束了他的冰球生涯, 他回到学校攻读商学学位, 2011年毕业. He then returned home to help grow the family business and grow it has.

这些单位由伊恩·韦伯斯特提供, light construction sales representative for 全国最大的彩票平台 in the Greater Winnipeg Metropolitan Area.

“Ian had reached out and stopped by our office with some product information a few years ago, 提供演示,Kindret回忆道. “当时, 我们不是在找新机器, 但后来我们成长了，开始接手更多的项目.”

Kindret appreciated Webster’s responsiveness to his questions and decided to 购买他的第一个 来自SMS设备的TL6R履带式装载机.

“演示它们时，它们看起来就像工作马 他们可以 处理复杂而富有挑战性的工作金德雷特说.

The Takeuchi unit received positive feedback from operators and management, so when the company was looking to purchase a new compact excavator, 他们决定试着租一台TB260型小型挖掘机.

“The feedback from our field operations was that the operators really enjoyed it, so we decided to make the purchase – and then another TL6R金德雷特说. “我认为他们从来没有想过要退还租金."

售后服务支持

The 售后服务是一个关键的考虑因素 用于向SMS设备公司购买设备.

“Ian is always there to help us out with whatever we needed, 与我们的商店和商店经理一起工作, 和他们一起检查所有的设备金德雷特说. “他很乐意和我们联系, letting us know about sales going on and if we need servicing.”

Webster’s background as a Red Seal certified heavy equipment technician with eight years of experience under his belt as a service technician with 全国最大的彩票平台 gives him unparalleled insight into the proper maintenance and operation of the equipment.

“我认为这真的很有帮助. I can answer a lot of questions on the fly without having to ask for technical support from other people,” he says. “If anyone has a question or an issue, I’m just a phone call away. 我将永远尽我最大的努力帮助他们.”

Webster also assists his clients with training new operators from time to time.

“If a new operator is unfamiliar with the controls of a piece of equipment, 我可以指导他们. 这是我能做的一件小事. This is something I’ve done for so long that it comes naturally to me. 我想很多人都很欣赏这一点."

机多功能性

The company also uses its TL6R履带式装载机 in the winter to service some customers 365 days a year.

“We put snow tracks on them for better traction on parking lots and use them for snow removal金德雷特说, adding that having year-round contracts helps retain employees during the slower season.
