Delivering for a customer against the odds!

As experts in providing motor control solutions across the world, the Sprint Electric team recently went above and beyond to deliver a DC drive for a customer. Here is the timeline of an exceptional piece of operational delivery that showcases our customer-first approach, and details the race against a departure time at Heathrow airport.

First contact

8.52am – We received an email from a customer.

He was on a flight out to Saudi Arabia in the early afternoon and was staying in a hotel in London until 11am. We are based in Arundel, on the South coast, some 50 miles away…

The dilemma

He needed an 85KW (205 amp) 4 quadrant DC drive delivered to him to take as hand luggage on his flight. He had a very urgent retrofit requirement on a machine with a breakdown.

Sprint Electric is known for the excellent availability and prompt delivery of its DC drives.

Our solution

Due to our philosophy of building for stock, we were able to courier him a PLX85 (4 Quadrant Regenerative 85KW / 205 Amp Digital DC Drive) directly to him.

10.52am – The drive was delivered to the customer!

A huge thanks to the local company Door to Door Couriers of Bognor Regis who stepped up and helped make this happen.

Result – One very happy customer!!

Yet again, offering EX-STOCK availability on our wide range of DC drives enabled our customer to meet his demanding deadlines.

If we can deliver a DC drive in two hours – from the initial email enquiry to the drive being signed for onsite over 50 miles away – imagine what we can do in four hours!

Let us help you with any DC drive requirement you may have – the Sprint Electric team are ready and standing by.
