In need of equipment for your rigging operations, opting for equipment hire can be the perfect fit for you to get the equipment you need, during the time period you need and while staying within your allocated budget.

Equipment rentals: definition 

Equipment rentals is often a favoured option to buying equipment for companies which are seeking cost-effective alternatives to ownership while still benefiting access to a wide range of specialised and high-quality tools. Secured processes to rent equipment are legally regulated and require formal contracts hence protecting both the hiring party and the rental company in case of damage, default, or unexpected events. Insurances are also involved to add an extra layer of protection for both sides and those operating the equipment.

Equipment rentals: benefits 

Renting equipment provides several benefits and advantages that are worth considering before making a significant investment in a plant.

Budget efficiency

One of the primary benefits of choosing lifting equipment rental is cost-effectiveness. Renting instead of buying can significantly reduce expenses, particularly for equipment that is only needed for specific tasks. Rather than investing heavily in machinery that may sit idle for months, incurring storage and maintenance costs, renting offers a practical alternative. You can rent equipment only when it is necessary, avoiding the financial burden of unused assets.

Inspection, maintenance and repairs are taken care of

Another advantage of renting equipment is that regular inspections, maintenance, and repairs are handled by the rental company. While you are responsible for the equipment when it’s in use on your premises, you don’t have to worry about its upkeep when it’s not in operation. This not only saves you the cost of hiring professionals to maintain and repair your equipment but also relieves you of the responsibility to do so yourself. The rental company ensures the equipment is in good condition and ready to use whenever you need it.

No storage, no inventory: only get what you need when you need it 

Lastly, a key benefit of renting rigging equipment over buying is the elimination of storage and inventory requirements. This saves both time and money, as you don’t have to manage a physical inventory or find space for equipment storage. You can rent exactly what you need, when you need it, and only for the duration necessary.

Equipment rentals: how does it work

• Defining your needs

Before deciding whether to buy or rent rigging equipment, clearly identify your requirements. Determine what equipment you need, its intended use, and how long you will need it. Answering these questions will help you budget effectively and assess the total benefits of renting over purchasing.

• Selecting the appropriate rental company 

Choose a rigging rental company based on their ability to supply the equipment that meets the specific regulations and quality standards of your project. Also, consider the terms and flexibility of the rental agreement. It’s crucial to opt for a company that understands the specific needs of your industry and offers the necessary flexibility for smooth operations.

• Committing to a rental agreement 

Engage in a rental agreement that clearly outlines the rental period and the rights and obligations of both parties. This contract will govern all aspects of the equipment rental.

• Ensuring insurance 

When renting equipment, it’s advisable to secure appropriate insurance coverage. This protects not only the individuals operating the equipment but also your company, safeguarding against unforeseen events.

• Use and return the equipment

Once your needs are defined, you’ve selected a rental company, and all agreements and insurance are in place, you can use the equipment as specified in the agreement. When the rental period ends, return the equipment according to the terms agreed upon.
