4 Points To Consider When Renting Construction Equipment

Blog

Renting equipment is a great way to take on more jobs with your company without breaking your budget. When it comes to renting equipment, you need to consider what type of equipment you need carefully.

Know What the Job Entails

Before you can start renting equipment, you need to know what the job entails. Sit down and carefully write down all the tasks that you will be doing on the job. Then, write down the equipment you have, and figure out what equipment you are missing to get all the tasks you need to complete the job done efficiently. Knowing what equipment you are missing from your own personal inventory and the tasks you need to do with that equipment will help you determine exactly what you need to rent.

Consider Add-Ons

When you rent equipment, you want to make sure you are getting all the tools you need to use that equipment effectively. Many construction equipment types come with add-ons or attachments that will allow you to do more with that equipment. Look at the equipment you need to rent and write down any attachments you need for that equipment to be more useful to you. You may also want to consider any attachments that could help you speed up the job or support the equipment you already have.

Rental Duration

Next, you need to figure how long you need the equipment for. Do you need a highly specialized piece of equipment just for a single day? Or do you have the equipment you need for the duration of the project? Or just a portion of the project?

Knowing when and how long you need the equipment will allow you to figure out how transportation for the equipment will allow you to work with the rental company on a fair rental price for all the equipment you are renting.

Think Multi-Functional

Finally, you are going to want to think multi-functional. Look at the equipment you need to rent and see if any functions could be taken care of with the same piece of equipment. If you can rent less equipment and have it serve more functions, you can save money.

When it comes to renting equipment for your business, you need to figure out what tasks your project entails and what tasks you need to rent equipment for. Consider what add-ons you need for the equipment and if there is any multi-functional equipment you can rent for your needs. Knowing how long you need the equipment can help you work out a fair rental deal.
