Most construction companies have to dig trenches at some stage of their existence. However, this doesn’t mean that they have a constant need for shoring technology in their storage facility. If trenching is not something your business regularly undertakes then it is a far better idea to rent it on an as-needed basis.
With this in mind, here are seven reasons why you should rent your trench equipment and not buy it outright:
You will always receive updated equipment
Renting your trench shoring technology guarantees that you will receive updated equipment from a trusted provider. If you buy your technology outright, it may become susceptible to wear and tear after years of usage. Therefore, renting the technology will ensure that you receive updated equipment with every job.
It is cheaper than buying it outright
As aforementioned, you may not need to constantly use this valuable technology, so why would you want to waste the expenditure buying it outright? Buying this equipment outright comes with a host of expenses upon immediate purchase but can also become more expensive in the long run (think maintenance and repairs!).
Renting the technology is far cheaper, as you won’t have to worry about maintenance, repairs, storage space, transport etc. Simply make your order and your team will deliver for you.
You can enjoy increased flexibility
Renting this technology provides you with the increased flexibility to retrieve it and return it when you’re finished trenching. Conversely, when you buy the technology outright, you are stuck with it even when you don’t need to use it. You will need to keep it in a storage facility where it may go unused for several months at a time.
Therefore, renting the technology is a smarter option for construction companies who don’t always need to use it. You can simply contact the provider, request the amount you need and they will deliver it to you, retrieving it once you have finished this stage of the project!
You don’t need to maintain the equipment
Maintaining shoring technology can be a real nuisance and that’s why it’s best to leave it up to the experts. What’s more, maintenance can be incredibly costly, and this is especially if you have had the same equipment for many years and many projects. When you hire it from a reputable provider, they take care of regular maintenance to ensure that it is at its safest capacity every time it is hired.
You receive the most updated technology
Naturally, a professional shoring provider isn’t going to rent out old, obsolete equipment – this is just bad for their business if anything. Therefore, when you rent this technology, you can trust that it will get the most updated equipment that will ensure a safe and sturdy job every time.
Forget unnecessary storage
Because you probably already have plenty of equipment that you plenty of use for and therefore requires constant storage space when not in use. Shoring equipment typically isn’t one of those things and you should therefore consider renting it as you can return as soon as you have finished that stage of the project.
It will be delivered straight to your project
One of the biggest nuisances for construction projects can be transporting equipment to and from the site. Thankfully, when renting this technology, it will be delivered straight to your site. You won’t have to worry about your team remembering it to deliver it on time as you will have a dedicated team of experts there to deliver it straight to you!
