Hands-on training is one of the most important investments we make in our team.

Recently, our Account Managers had the opportunity to learn from a true legend in the field — Wh**ey Price. These sessions are all about passing down the kind of real-world knowledge that only comes from decades of experience in the industry.

During this class, the team covered several practical topics they’ll use every day in the field, including:
🔧 Bearing removal in tricky situations
⚙️ Proper belt sizing and tensioning
🛠️ Identifying gearbox failure signs and diagnosing issues on site

This kind of knowledge transfer is critical to developing the next generation of skilled technicians and ensuring we continue delivering reliable solutions for our customers.

A big thank you to Wh**ey for the fun, informative lessons and for continuing to share your expertise with the team. 👏
