Recovery equipment is often used a few times a year by a crew that is not a compressor specialist, in a location with no workshop. A machine that must go back to a factory for routine attention is out of service for the whole time it is in transit.

The machines are built to be serviced where they stand. Combined with air cooling and oil-free construction, that removes the three most common reasons this class of equipment sits unavailable: water circuits, oil changes and workshop returns.
