Frequestly Asked Questions
How come you’re so cheap? With a name like "El Cheapo" I’m a little concerned...
We know that our name can raise questions for some of our customers before they get started. Are the machines in good condition? Do you have enough staff to handle everything? Why is it so cheap?
You need to be confident and comfortable with our equipment and want to know that we haven’t compromised on quality to bring you such a good price.
That’s where our 8-Step Process comes in. This process has been developed over the last few years, as part of our Lean approach, and continues to be honed as we grow.
Every time one of the El Cheapo team notices something that can be improved or streamlined, it’s integrated into our daily operations, resulting in a fast, efficient operation that gets lifts out the door fast.
Here’s the 8-Step Process we put every machine through when it comes back from a job. This has reduced our costs so much that we can pass on savings of over 20% to all our customers:
- Wash & Clean the Machines
- Safety and function
- Light Repair
- Mini Detail
- Charge
- 'Just In Time' Quality Assurance Check
- Hard down mechanical repair
- Pit Crew for Delivery Preparation
As you can see, our process is extremely thorough. Every machine is examined in enormous detail to make sure everything is perfect for every job.
Having streamlined our process so much, we no longer have the bloat and wastage that costs companies so much every year, and we get to pass those savings on to you.
Do you charge cleaning and delivery fees?
We do not charge cleaning fees — ever. Even if you own a drywall or painting business, you won’t be charged a dime for cleaning. The lifts are our responsibility, and that includes getting them clean after a big job.
Our delivery charge for scissor lifts is $75 each way and for our booms is $85 each way, which comes to about 20% under our nearest competitors. We also get the lifts out within 24 hours of your order (and often the same day) so you don’t have to wait to get started on your job.
What if a lift breaks down on site?
About 1% of all the contractors we work with have some kind of technical difficulty on the job site. If you find yourself having any issues, you can give us a call and we’ll dispatch a technician to you immediately to get it fixed.
Usually, it’s an easy fix and things will be back up and running quickly, but if there’s a more serious issue, we’ll dispatch a new lift right away. We understand how important your time on a work site is, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure no time is wasted.
That’s why we offer a guarantee on all lift rentals.
If you’re unhappy with your lift for any reason in the first week, we’ll come and collect it free of charge, and you won’t pay for the rental at all. Choosing El Cheapo Lifts for your jobs is completely risk-free, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
