Why is HILCO Electric Cooperative replacing vehicles?

Many of HEC’s bucket trucks, digger derricks, service trucks, and other specialized equipment operate in demanding conditions and are critical during outages and emergency restoration efforts.

As fleet equipment ages:

· Maintenance costs rise

· Reliability decreases

· Downtime increases

· Safety risks grow

Replacing aging equipment before major failures occur helps ensure crews can respond safely and efficiently when members need them most.
