WHY RENT EQUIPMENT?
Contractors may choose to rent equipment rather than buy it for several reasons:
Cost Savings
By renting, contractors don’t need to make the significant initial investment, freeing up money for other priorities that may take precedent at the time. Additionally, they can avoid maintenance expenses.
Logistics
For many, owning a large amount of machines or tools may not be possible due to storage limitations.
Infrequent Use
Due to the type of work a contractor does, it might not make sense for them to own a range of equipment and/or tools. For example, for a contractor who rarely does polishing jobs, storing a polisher isn’t the best use of space.
Testing
For a contractor who is considering adding a new service to their repertoire, they may want to test out the equipment first before making such a huge purchase.
Access to the Best Equipment
For most contractors, it’s simply not possible to update equipment when newer versions are released. Renting from a company such as Superior is a great way to try out the latest and greatest equipment.
