Hilti Fleet Management is an all-inclusive service for any equipment that might be required. Those responsible for tools and equipment will have one less worry. All costs are covered by a monthly fee. You can thus concentrate on your core business whilst we support you to:

WHY SHOULD I USE HILTI FLEET MANAGEMENT
Use instead of own
Every project is different. Building bridges requires different tools than constructing a shopping center. The formula for success is therefore: use instead of own. It can be difficult to flexibly expand your tool set-up according to your needs. Another advantage: If there are peak orders during a project, you can simply order additional equipment for a certain period. You will always have the required tools at your disposal – in the appropriate number, reliably serviced, and ready for use.
Altogether Hilti has approximately one million pieces of tools and equipment under contract. Customers can put together a customized mix of tools and equipment from this pool. After the useful life has expired, tools will be exchanged for the latest generation. The fleet is therefore always state of the art.
1. Increased productivity
High performing tools are the backbone of an efficient and successful project. They increase the productivity of a project but also fulfil the highest safety standards and enhance the corporate image. But managing a high performing tool fleet puts a lot of administrative work and financial risk on your shoulders.
2. Reduced risk and minimized downtime
If important tools suddenly fail during construction, the construction site is at a standstill. Replacements must be organized, project plans delayed, and costs continue to rise.
3. Cost savings and predictability
Always having the correct number of properly serviced devices at hand means considerable logistic and financials expense. Unused equipment wastes valuable resources. It is therefore more economical to rely on a productive tool fleet instead of owning all tools outright.
4. Increased tool crib transparency
If a device fails, it has to be replaced by an equivalent model in due time. To minimize downtime for a replacement, a reliable tool fleet list and tracking system saves time and money.
5. Optimized process costs
Unexpected tools services and repair costs make it difficult to keep costs within the budget. If all costs for the tool fleet are covered by a fixed monthly fee, budgets can be reliably planned.
Experience and availability
Hilti has been providing Fleet Management for over 10 years and the concept of all-inclusive service has proven successful: The service is meanwhile used by around 100,000 customers in more than 40 countries.
Our customers not only value the provision and maintenance of equipment but also the comprehensive services in contrast to common rental or tool leasing offers. Upon request, Hilti can analyse the stock and entire equipment fleet of customers. Find out immediately which tools are unnecessary, which are not optimally used and which need to be replaced.
HOW HILTI FLEET MANAGEMENT HELPS YOUR BUSINESS
How does your working day usually start?
Well. I check the inventory, hand out the necessary tools to our tradesmen and see which equipment and tools are soon due for servicing. And, of course, then I have a coffee!
What is one of your biggest challenges from day to day?
We have a very tight schedule and plan the tools assignments accordingly. It’s not very helpful if a tool can’t be used because of the condition it is in. So, when it comes to an unexpected situation where a tool needs repairs, this can really slow things down for the next few days.
How does Hilti Fleet Management help you avoid situations like this?
I just pick up the phone, call Hilti Service and ask for a replacement. The next morning I already have it in my crib and we use this replacement tool until our repaired tool is back. No interruption, no time lost. And I know I can always rely on it!
