It may be the right move for your business — learn why.
It’s no secret that every dollar counts on a job site. Any amount you save not only helps your bottom line, but it also lets you put more back into your company, helping employees and improving the quality of your customers’ experiences.
One of the best ways that you can do this is by renting machines. Using machines temporarily gives you more flexibility for your business and helps you use your budget more efficiently — all while still taking care of the job at hand.
The Boyd CAT Rental Store has a large selection of the industry’s best machines and work attachments including Cat equipment, equipped with some of the latest technology and backed by expert technicians.
Why Should I Rent for My Business?
There are lots of reasons for renting machines on a part-time basis for your fleet. It all depends on the type of business you have and how often you take on jobs. Here are some of the main ways renting construction vehicles can help your company.
More Flexibility to Take on Jobs:
It’s difficult to balance multiple jobs at once, especially if they’re short-term. By renting equipment, you don’t have to worry about splitting up machinery and usage across different sites; you can get exactly what you need for each one. This is likely more cost-effective, efficient and practical.
No two jobs are exactly the same, so being able to adjust quickly on the fly with your fleet can save you a ton of time.
Zero Repair Costs:
Renting means you’re not on the hook for any repairs or service requirements for your equipment. While it may seem like a small cost, it can be a major burden for your budget and schedule. You’ll get to trade in equipment if there’s a problem or call someone else to fix it, so it’s significantly faster and requires much less hassle. Here are some of the major areas where you save on maintenance by renting:
- Leasing or purchasing workshop space to make repairs.
- Buying tools and funding technician labor to conduct maintenance.
- Paying for last-minute, unexpected and expensive breakdowns.
- Managing equipment records, operation hours, wear and tear and parts replacements.
- Keeping up with routine maintenance schedules.
Makes Your Equipment Fleet Smaller and More Efficient
As you know, businesses change all the time. Many contractors start out working in one area of construction, only to pivot to another. There are countless reasons why a business would make a switch, but with renting, it doesn’t have to be costly.
Renting allows business owners to quickly expand without the responsibility of managing more equipment yourself. They can carry on operations much faster without having to reinvest in a whole new line of machines, saving you money and time.
No Need for Storage Space
The costs of safely stowing away equipment is often an afterthought, but these expenses can quickly add up and hurt your business (especially if you have larger machines). This isn’t an issue with renting.
You can simply use the equipment while you need it and then return it once you’re finished. No offseason storage to worry about, no hassle.
Use the Latest Technology with a Fraction of the Investment
Technology is constantly changing for construction machinery, but it doesn’t make sense financially to purchase a new machine every year solely to keep up with the newest features.
However, with renting, you get to try out some of the latest developments without investing in a new piece of equipment.
When you purchase something new, you have to get the most out of your machine, especially when it comes to technology. Renting lets you use the newest tech to make jobs easier, safer and help you work more efficiently.
Test Out Equipment Before You Make a Purchase
Buying equipment is a heavy investment. Businesses should always perform their due diligence before making a large purchase, both to make sure the machine works the way they need it to and so they know it’s right for their jobs.
Many businesses use a hybrid model where they have machines of their own and use rentals to supplement the gaps based on job requirements. By testing out machinery as a rental, companies can ensure that what they’re adding to their fleet full-time is worth the cost.
Saving Money for Your Business
Saving money is critical for every business. Purchasing construction equipment — big and small — can take a major toll on a company’s bottom line. While you can take out a loan and go into debt, it can be challenging to pay back and put extra strain on a business.
Renting lets you get the equipment you need without the risk of purchasing something new and taking on debt. This helps your business grow the right way and use its resources with maximum efficiency.
