Equipment Rental News: How to Make Your Jobsite More Flexible

As a small-business owner, you need the right equipment at the right time and the right price. Here’s some equipment rental news: renting can help you achieve all three of these objectives, plus make your jobsite more flexible.

Renting helps you keep your costs as low as possible while increasing productivity. Just as importantly, it allows you to respond to changes on the jobsite quickly. If something unexpected comes up, you can easily get the specialized piece of equipment you need.

While there are benefits to owning equipment, it also costs money. When you own, you’re responsible for transportation, maintenance, repairs, and storage. Large down payments may negatively impact cash flow, and wear and tear can lead to loss in value. When it comes to a particular jobsite, you may simply not need the specialized equipment over the long term.

Equipment rental companies have realized the importance of giving small-business owners access to the equipment they need when they need it. Today you can choose from a large inventory of products that are in stock, ready to be delivered to your jobsite.

Rental equipment is kept in top condition and comes with the latest technology. Technology is increasingly important because it helps reduce costs, increase production, and improve safety. When you’ve got technologically advanced machines on your jobsite, you can monitor usage, remotely train operators, and track down any equipment that is lost or stolen.

Another advantage to renting is that you can trust the experts to help you understand and use the data generated by the technology. GPS, connectivity, grade control, telematics, and machine monitoring are great to have—as long as you know what they’re telling you from a maintenance and performance perspective. Parts, maintenance, and scheduled service are all tied to analytics. Thanks to technology, they can be managed to reduce downtime and identify productivity problems before they become expensive.

With brand-new next-generation, emission-compliant equipment rentals, you can test new technologies without committing to ownership. You’ll likely discover that technology helps get the job done faster, more efficiently, and with greater accuracy.
