Challenge: Moisture & Performance Issues
Winton Stock Feed, a key player in New Zealand’s agricultural sector, faced persistent challenges with their work lamps on their fleet of trucks. Their existing lighting solutions were riddled with moisture and water ingress and performance issues, leading to frequent failures, reduced visibility and increased maintenance or worse – replacement costs.
When each vehicle in the fleet had 10 work lights or more that consistently needed repair or replacement, the time and costs started to weigh heavily on the business. Further, these issues not only compromised the safety of their operations but also led to unnecessary downtime across their fleet of vehicles.
With profitability, reliability and longevity as top priorities, Winton Stock Feed needed a lighting solution that could withstand harsh environments and deliver reliable performance the team could depend upon.
Solution: J.W. Speaker Model 792
In September 2021, Winton Stock Feed approached TWL Invercargill seeking a tough and reliable lighting solution. TWL Invercargill recommended the J.W. Speaker Model 792 work lamps, renowned for their durability and superior performance.
After an initial purchase of two units, the performance of the J.W. Speaker Model 792 far exceeded Winton Stock Feed’s expectations. The lights proved to be completely resistant to water and moisture, and their installation led to an immediate improvement in lighting durability, performance, and vehicle uptime, allowing them to work from sunup to sundown without issue.
Results: Zero moisture issues
Impressed by the performance and reliability of the J.W. Speaker Model 792, Winton Stock Feed quickly standardized this model across their entire fleet. Over time, they purchased a total of 90 units, making the J.W. Speaker Model 792 their go-to solution for all lighting applications on their fleet of trucks. Since their installation results have been outstanding.
By partnering with TWL Invercargill and investing in J.W. Speaker’s high-quality LED lighting solutions, Winton Stock Feed overcame their challenges, improving operational efficiency, fleet reliability, and productivity.
