Advantages of Renting Equipment

Many businesses only need to use a forklift or scissor lift once in a while. For those businesses, it makes better sense to rent rather than purchase equipment. But there are more benefits to renting you may not have thought of before.

  • Forego the upfront investment - Large equipment is expensive capital cost that must be planned ahead of time and it means your money is tied up in it.
  • Get the model you need to get the job done right every time - Renting allows you to pick which type of lift best suited for the job at hand.
  • Avoid maintenance and compliance problems - When you don't own the machine, you don't have to worry about breakdowns busting your budget or tracking scheduled maintenance.
  • Boost productivity during peak seasons - Add to your fleet when you need it and remove equipment when you don't so you can meet your seasonal needs without full costs of purchase.
  • Experience a preview - You can rent equipment as a way to test-drive new features or a specialty truck. You can measure how it impacts your business to help you decide if you want to buy.
  • Reduce loss from waiting - It's never good to have people waiting around for equipment to arrive. With rentals, you'll have the equipment you need right away.
