Our in-house Service and Maintenance team is staffed with full-time manufacturer-certified Service Technicians in dedicated vehicles. Prior to becoming a Master Technician, our team is required to complete thorough training to ensure we are providing the best service to our customers. Our team focuses on Telescopic Seating, Athletic Equipment, and Outdoor Bleachers & Grandstands.
Manufacturer training goes deep into the mechanics and engineering of the systems so our technicians not only know how to build and repair the bleacher seating or athletic equipment, they know why each part is vital to the overall operation and why it should not be modified from engineering standards.
We believe in investing in our Service Team with continued education and sharing that collective knowledge throughout our team to provide the best customer experience. We do this with manufacturer training support, internal training and mentoring, and through our apprenticeship program. With our team’s extensive knowledge, our technicians are able to maintain and repair all makes and models of equipment, not just the equipment installed by us. From Senior Level Manager to Apprentice, our collaborative effort provides you with quality service and quality products. Our Service Technicians span from 22 years with Farnham Equipment Company to the apprentices that have been with us for a year.
We don’t stop there. Our Director of Service Operations, Rocky Baker, has 40 years of industry experience with Farnham Equipment Company and our products/services. He is also a member of the International Code Council, staying up to date on code compliance and standards. He has shared his expertise here locally and across the United States.
Based on our internal knowledge, that of our manufacturers, and the International Code Council’s requirements (ICC 300, 2012), our team has created and been thoroughly educated on our Telescopic Seating and Outdoor Bleacher & Grandstand Inspections. Additionally, through manufacturer recommendations on installation and operation, our team has implemented inspections for numerous types of Athletic Equipment including basketball backstops, divider curtains, mat hoists, and volleyball equipment.

Additionally, our union affiliation allows us to meet and exceed all regulatory and compliance requirements for public work.
