NAVIGATING THE SUPPLY CHAIN MAZE: WHY TRUCKSMITH STOCK IS YOUR SOLUTION

The road to getting a new commercial vehicle on the road has become increasingly complex. We’ve all seen the headlines about global supply chain disruptions, and the automotive industry is no exception. At Trucksmith, we understand the frustration of waiting months for a base vehicle, delaying your business plans and impacting your bottom line. That’s why we’ve taken proactive steps to mitigate these challenges and ensure we can still meet your demands for high-quality Trucksmith LoLoaders, Dropsides and Tippers.

The Base Vehicle Bottleneck:

Major vehicle manufacturers are facing unprecedented delays. From model changes to raw material price hikes and logistical logjams, the reasons are multifaceted and constantly evolving. These issues translate directly into extended lead times for base vehicles, sometimes stretching to several months beyond initial estimates. For businesses relying on timely vehicle deliveries, this can be a critical setback.

The Trucksmith Advantage: Preparedness is Key

At Trucksmith, we recognise the importance of minimising disruption for our customers. That’s why we’ve made a significant investment in carrying a substantial stock of both base vehicles and completed Trucksmith conversions. This strategic approach allows us to:

  • Reduce Lead Times: While we can’t control the global supply chain, we can control our own preparedness. By holding stock, we can often significantly reduce the time it takes to get you behind the wheel of your new vehicle. Instead of waiting months for a base vehicle to arrive, we may already have the perfect chassis ready for conversion.
  • Offer Greater Flexibility: Stocking a variety of base vehicles and completed conversions means we can offer more choice and flexibility. Whether you need a specific wheelbase, engine configuration, or conversion type, we’re more likely to have a vehicle that closely matches your requirements readily available.
  • Provide Predictable Delivery: In a world of uncertainty, we strive to offer reliable and predictable delivery times. By having vehicles in stock, we can give you a more accurate timeframe for when you can expect your new Trucksmith vehicle.
  • Maintain Competitive Pricing: While market fluctuations can impact pricing, our investment in stock helps us to manage these changes and offer competitive prices on our range of conversions.

Beyond Base Vehicles: The Completed Trucksmith Difference

Our commitment to stock extends beyond just base vehicles. We also maintain a stock of completed Trucksmith LoLoaders, Dropsides and Tippers, ready for immediate delivery. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with urgent needs or those looking for a quick and hassle-free solution. These pre-built vehicles undergo the same rigorous quality control checks as our bespoke builds, ensuring you receive a premium product without the extended wait.

Planning for the Future:

The supply chain landscape remains dynamic, and we continue to adapt our strategies to best serve our customers. We maintain close relationships with our suppliers and constantly monitor market trends to anticipate potential challenges. Our goal is to minimise the impact of these challenges on your business and ensure you can access the vehicles you need, when you need them.
