Heavy Equipment Protection
Minimize those nasty component breakdowns and hydraulic failures with a complete cold weather protection system.
OVERVIEW
Thermex Engineering Systems is a custom design-build supplier of Fluid and Fuel Warming Systems, Idle Reduction Systems, Freeze Protection Systems and Specialty Equipment for the forestry industry.
THE PROBLEM
Maintaining your heavy equipment in cold weather can be challenging. Especially when unexpected storms hit unexpectedly, you are left with assets that are dead, won’t start, or have gelled-up hydraulics.
Couple this with deadlines that are behind schedule and quotas, and a critical hardware failure can just add fuel to the fire.
THE SOLUTION
Thermex provides a modular system for managing cold weather environments on heavy equipment so you can get back to work fast. Cutting downtime to a minimum, lowering maintenance costs and saving you time, money, and stressful days on the job.
