“When the University of Pittsburgh first
purchased a Switch-N-Go System in January of 2005, it didn’t take the
property management crew long to become attached to it. In short, we
love this system.
Switch-N-Go is a great tool for
accomplishing many different jobs. We used to have to throw mulch in a
dump truck, dump it out and then transport the loads individually with
wheelbarrows. With Switch-N-Go, we can now drop a body loaded with
mulch and shovel directly out of the box, all while someone else is
grabbing another loaded body. It keeps my guys working.
With any university or company, budgeting
is always an issue. For us, equipment costs are always a top concern
and we did not have the funds available to purchase multiple trucks at
the same time. With Switch-N-Go we didn’t even have to consider buying
another truck.
Besides the standard bodies we own, we
have also purchased Switch-N-Go subframes
and mounted our own custom bodies on them. With Switch-N-Go, we have
the opportunity to create a “machine” that fills our specific needs. We
took a drop box and added shelves, allowing us to transport 200 flats of
flowers at a time. This eliminated the hassle of making 5 trips with
the truck to pick up flowers. We also mounted sprayer units to a
Switch-N-Go subframe so we can better keep
up with grounds maintenance around the campus. This product is so
diverse, we’ll never buy another truck
without the Switch-N-Go System here at Pitt.
Switch-N-Go is safe to load, it reduces
our labor costs while increasing our productivity, and it is fully
customizable. You’d be crazy not to buy this system!”
