recently surveyed members
of the industry to gauge
their approach to GSE maintenance,
inquire about current challenges
and the average age of GSE
fleets, as well as gather input on
anticipated changes coming to this
segment of the market.
More than three-fourths of those
surveyed perform a portion of their
GSE maintenance in-house.
Approximately one-third of the
respondents said they performed
all GSE maintenance themselves.
Another 42 percent said the majority
of their GSE maintenance is done
in-house, while 14 percent said half
of their GSE maintenance tasks are
done in-house and half is outsourced.
Just 12 percent of all survey
respondents said they rely heavily on
outsourced GSE maintenance.
With GSE maintenance responsibilities
being predominantly
addressed by the company who owns
the equipment, there are associated
challenges and budget strains.
The greatest challenges reported
by survey respondents are sourcing
GSE parts and part availability, finding
and retraining staff, training and
staying current with new technologies,
and the cost of GSE parts.
The cost of GSE parts, sourcing
parts and the availability of parts
put the greatest strain on GSE maintenance
budgets, according to those

surveyed. The cost of personnel turnover
also takes a toll on budgets as
does the cost of tools and equipment.
While these costs must be managed,
60 percent of survey respondents
indicated 2024 maintenance
budgets were expected to be higher
than in 2023, while another 30
percent reported their budgets
were likely to remain the same
as last year.
