David Brown Swift Centre service is open 24 hours

Accredited Swift Service Centres offer the full small-to-medium standard range of bevel/helical gearboxes manufactured by David Brown. RMB holds a complete range of casing styles and sizes and a good number of reduction ratios, so virtually any combination can be achieved quickly. Over 600 components must be held in stock at any one time to earn the Swift Centre status. RMB claims that it houses the largest range of components in the country, and that it is also the only company to stock both the David Brown series G heavy-duty reducer gearboxes and series J shaft-mounted worm gearbox speed reducers in modular format.

A 24-hour service has been introduced to ensure that customers' downtime is minimised. With a 24-hour workshop, RMB can strip, repair and manufacture gearbox parts at any time, unlike many similarly named services from other companies. Assemblies and gearboxes weighing up to 18 tonnes can be accommodated.

Alex Meiklejohn, RMB Operations Manager, says: "We accept that protracted downtime is simply not acceptable. Helping to safeguard a customer's production and minimise downtime is the key to a modern engineering service relationship."

RMB recently became a part of the Deritend Group. This means that it is now able to provide on-site support around the country, providing installation and efficiency advice. If a gearbox or bearing failure is affecting production, a call to RMB can ensure that the site is up and running as fast as possible.
