Fleet Management Case Study MFI Service Bodies client equipped to conduct sample testing and monitoring of seawater, creeks, drains, pools and medical applications. This client required a rugged, ridged canopy to last longer in the field whilst in regular contact with water, chemicals and other liquids, and to keep items cool and avoid bacterial spread, secure storage areas for equipment and paperwork, open cargo space for bulky items and large sample transportation, clear work areas, and auxiliary power to assist fridges. Challenge Water and dust contamination, effective storage space, and corrosive chemicals. Solution 30+ vehicle rollout with ergonomic workspace and storage solutions. MFI Service Bodies solved chemical and constant moisture problems with a combination of stainless steel and other materials. MFI Service Bodies experience and our practical consultative design process resulted in an effective and visually appealing design. Features Safe mounting techniques Shelving and cargo bays Equipment storage Mesh type dividing walls for security Secondary housing for personal / auxiliary gear Water and dust-tight seals Drop-down slides to lower access heights Lockable, easy-access draw system
Product Innovation Case Study MFI Service Bodies client responsible for the installation and servicing of fire sprinkler systems required a fleet solution of lower-clearance, compact vehicles for low-level car park entry whilst maintaining spacious, practical design to fit large volumes of equipment; a strong and practical workhorse with a professional appearance. Challenge Custom Service Body Specialists A large range of vehicle configurations across the existing fleet, which was problematic due to vehicle and employee swapping. A non-leaking and durable solution was essential. There were previous operational clutter issues, and tare weight was a major concern. Product Innovation Key Issue The weight of the pipe-threading machine created an OH&S hazard and required a two-man lift, tying up valuable man-hours better utilised elsewhere. Solution Internal partition layout and vertically-stacked four draw system to counter the excessive weight, tool disarray and surplus materials storage. Easy access to both tools and materials increased job efficiency and reduced time wastage, work hazards and employee risk. Innovation & Benefits MFI Service Bodies engineered and fabricated a hoist for the pipe threader, to operate the site unit without two staff being necessary. Reducing man-power, the hoist eliminated OH&S risk by removing the opportunity for accidents and work claims as a direct result of the heavy and awkward lifting involved.
Testimonials A bit of customer feedback on my MFI Service Bodies canopy. I have now had it for almost a year and have done a fair bit of outback travel, including the Oodnadatta Track, the Birdsville and various other offroad locations, many of them dry and dusty. The canopy and the drawer slides have been fantastic and attract a lot of comments along the way. Excellent seals on the doors not a bit of dust or moisture despite lots of dust and some deep water crossings. So well done MFI thanks! - A. Wild After just a few short weeks, MFI handed over the keys to our new FCV with the brandnew rear end to our project manager. We would like to thank the management and staff from MFI for their expert approach, advice and service. - The Basin Fire Brigade As discussed, please find attached pictures of an accident last week involving one of our vehicles with your MFI canopy fitted. It is clear that after the complete rollover of the vehicle, the strength of the canopy has saved the roof of the canopy from being crushed totally, which could very well have been fatal to the occupants. As it was, both the driver and the passenger only received minor injuries. This is a proven example of your canopy s strength and durability, which I can now clearly indicate are of the highest standard and capable of indeed saving lives on this occasion. - I. O Brien MFI Service Bodies canopies are versatile and ergonomic, allowing our Road Rescue personnel to access vital rescue equipment easily and without hindrance. Easy slide-out drawers for important equipment, large full side and rear lift doors for inclement weather, and interior LED lights have made it safe and easy with minimal delays when carrying out lifethreatening rescue operations. - State Emergency Services To you and your staff, thank you for your time and the effort that has been put into my tray and canopy. I still can t wipe the smile off my face. From the first phone call to the final handover, it has been a pleasure. I just wish more businesses were like MFI. - Signature Pilots & Escort Vehicles
