Use Rental Equipment for Infrequent Jobs

by Puget Sound Equipment

Why should you rent vs buy equipment that you will use only once or twice?

1. Initial Cost - The cost of rental equipment is often a small fraction of the cost to purchase the equipment or to hire a professional to do the task. Even equipment that will be used regularly can be far too expensive to purchase.

2. Ongoing Cost - Owning equipment incurs additional costs that must be considered, such as storage, maintenance, repairs and insurance. Incurring these expenses all year long for equipment that you use rarely can be quite costly.

3. Storage - Often it is not a matter of the cost of storage, but the lack therof. A homeowner is unlikely to have room to store larger items, such as manlifts or generators.

4. Usage - One time projects often require specialized equipment. Rental equipment makes more sense than purchasing the item and then selling it when the project is completed. For example, equipment need for a homeowner to dig his own pond would likely not be needed again.

It is a great idea to consider all your option when deciding what is needed for a job. Most often, DIY homeowners will find that rental equipment is the way to go and that will typically be the case for companies, as well.
