Renting heavy equipment is an increasingly popular option among construction and landscaping businesses that are looking to get jobs done in a more cost-effective way. After all, not every project requires buying the equipment. Whether you are on a tight budget or need a machine for a few tasks, the best alternative to purchasing is renting. Below we cover some of the top reasons to rent heavy-duty equipment.

Financial Savings

Renting a machine is more economical than buying one if you need it only for a short-term project. It’s also a good way to test the equipment before purchasing it. While renting may only cost you a few hundred dollars a week, buying the same equipment can cost you thousands of dollars. This can be especially helpful for businesses with limited budgets that can't afford a high initial investment.

Get the Latest Tech

When you purchase a new model, you get the benefit of the latest features for a short period of time. Next year's models are launched with upgraded features and by the end of your equipment's lifespan, there will be several new iterations of the model on the market. On the other hand, heavy equipment rentals allow you to get the latest models each time so that you can enjoy perks such as improved fuel efficiency, higher power potential, and better operator comfort.

Better Maintenance

Owning heavy equipment involves plenty of responsibilities, such as keeping up with regular maintenance. With heavy equipment rentals, these responsibilities fall partially or fully on the rental company. Plus, companies work to ensure that their rental machines are in top condition. They are all thoroughly inspected and monitored, which means you’ll enjoy equipment in excellent condition without much effort on your part.
