Why Rent?

Lower Capital Expense

Purchasing heavy equipment often involves tying up capital for multiple years to come. Choosing to partner with an equipment rental company means freeing up cash that can be used to help grow your business and invest in other opportunities.

Predictable Costs

Renting heavy equipment provides contractors peace of mind because they are able to manage and expense their costs in a predictable way. Because W Silver handles major repairs, construction companies aren’t faced with huge maintenance expenses (not resulting from damage).

Equipment & Service Where You Need It

A significant reason to consider renting is when you have jobs in multiple geographic locations. Depending on the job, it can be cost prohibitive to transport equipment across the United States. Likewise, renting equipment also means you gain access to our local Service Department should you need assistance.

Access To a Large Variety of Equipment

We get it. Not every piece of equipment makes sense to own. Partnering with a heavy machinery company is a great way to gain access to a diverse fleet of equipment. This means the ability to pursue a variety of jobs or temporarily increase your availability to operate multiple jobs at once.

Build Equity & Try Before You Buy

Rental Purchase Options are a great way to apply a portion of your rental to the purchase price of your machine. This gives contractors the opportunity to try out the equipment they are looking at purchasing and lower their purchase cost by applying rental payments to their purchase price.

About W Silver Rental Services

W Silver Rental Services was created by W Silver in 1997 to serve contractors in the Rocky Mountain West. For many years, W Silver had been working heavily in the cross country pipeline business both domestically and internationally, and decided that the markets in the West were underserved for heavy civil, highway and utility contractors.

Therefore, Denver, Colorado was selected for the first W Silver Rental Services location with a small fleet that numbered 30 machines. Since that time, WRS has grown to more than 600 machines working in seven states. With locations currently in Salt Lake City, UT; Albuquerque, NM; Grand Junction, CO; Casper, WY; Las Vegas, NV; Dickinson, ND; Lubbock, TX; Fort Worth, TX; as well as the first one in Denver; WRS is positioned to support the contracting community with medium to large earthmoving rental equipment.

Commitment to Service

The same principles that guided WRS in 1997 are still used today. Those principles are: exemplary service, quality equipment, and ethical business values. To that end, W Silver Rental Services has spent the last 19 years building our business through the unparalleled service that our team provides. We own all of our own field service trucks and continually invest in our service departments to ensure we can respond as quickly and efficiently as possible. Accordingly, W Silver Rental Services dedicates 100% of our service trucks to our rental fleet, therefore we are able to respond promptly should the need arise. We understand that we are only as good as the machines we have running; and that is something we take very seriously.

Quality Equipment

In addition to our fast service times, W Silver Rental Services prides itself in the quality equipment that we offer. We continue to purchase new or late model equipment with low hours--this helps our customers get the latest most productive machines on the market, and minimizes downtime. We pride ourselves on being a first-class machinery rental company and are constantly seeking better solutions for our customers. In addition to providing high quality Caterpillar rental equipment, we are able to provide other brands like, John Deere and Komatsu; we are also an authorized dealer of K-tec pull type scrapers, and Tatu Discs.

We are passionate about our company culture of success, diligence, accountability, and teamwork. As a result, we hire and retain the best employees in the industry. Our employees believe as we do that great customer service is imperative for long term, repeat business. W Silver Rental Services continually seeks to invest in and improve our staff so that we can better serve you.

Here are some tips on how to choose the right heavy equipment rental company and why W Silver is the right choice. 

Consider The Size Of The Project You’re Working On

The first step in choosing the right heavy equipment rental company is to consider the size of your project. Not all companies have the same size fleet of heavy equipment, so it’s important to choose a company that has the right size machine for your needs. 

For example, if you’re working on a small construction project, you won’t need the same heavy equipment as you would for a large commercial project. Be sure to consider the size of your project when choosing a heavy equipment rental company.

At W Silver , we have a large fleet of heavy equipment that is perfect for any size project. From small construction projects to large commercial developments, we have the right machine for your needs.

What Type Of Equipment You Need

Think about what type of equipment you need. There are many different types of heavy equipment available, from bulldozers to dump trucks to excavators. Choose a company that specializes in the type of equipment you need. 

W Silver has plenty of heavy equipment rentals to choose from. We have:

• Earthmoving Equipment
• Pipeline Equipment
• Renewable Equipment

Whatever job you need equipment for, we have all your heavy equipment rental needs.

What is Earthmoving Equipment?

This type of equipment is used to move earth and other materials. It includes bulldozers, excavators, and loaders. This type of equipment is essential for construction projects, excavation, and landscaping projects.

There are various earthmoving heavy rental equipment such as:

Cranes

A crane is a large, tall machine that is used to move heavy objects from one place to another. Cranes are usually used on construction sites to lift and move things like steel beams, bricks, and concrete blocks.

Some cranes can also be used to move boats or other large objects out of the water. Cranes have a long arm with a claw-like device called a hook at the end. The arm is operated by a system of pulleys and cables, and the hook is used to attach to the object that needs to be moved.

The operator then uses the controls to lift the object and move it to the desired location. Cranes are very useful machines, but they can be dangerous if they are not used properly.

Crawler Carriers

A crawler carrier, also known as a tracked vehicle, is a specialized off-road vehicle that is designed to provide maximum traction and flotation on soft terrains, such as mud, sand, or snow.

Crawler carriers are often used in the construction industry for tasks such as excavating, hauling materials, and drilling. They are also used in the forestry and mining industries for tasks such as logging and heavy lifting. 

Most crawler carriers are powered by diesel engines, and many are equipped with hydraulic power steering to make maneuvering on rough terrain easier.

Excavators

An excavator is a construction vehicle that is used to dig holes, trenches, and foundations. It consists of an upper body, which contains the engine and cab, and a lower body, which houses the tracks or wheels.

The operator sits in the cab and controls the movements of the excavator with a pair of joysticks.The upper body is mounted on a rotating platform, which allows the operator to rotate the cab and extend or retract the boom.

The bucket is attached to the end of the boom and is used to scoop up dirt, rocks, and other materials. 

Excavators are typically used for large construction projects, such as digging foundations for buildings or excavating roads.

Land levelers

Land levelers are construction tools that are used to create a level surface. Commonly used on construction sites, land levelers can be used to grade an area for foundation work, level out a patio or deck area, or prep a site for landscaping.

Land levelers typically have a large blade that is attached to a beam. The beam is then mounted on a frame with wheels, making it easy to move the land leveler around the job site.

Whether you’re working on a small project or a large commercial development, a land leveler can help you create a level surface that is ready for whatever comes next.

Motor graders

A motor grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader, is a construction machine that is typically used to create smooth surfaces on roads or other large paved areas. 

The blade of a motor grader is positioned in front of the operator and can be raised or lowered to adjust the depth of the cut. The blade can also be angled from side to side to create a gradient, or slope, on the surface being graded.

Motor graders are equipped with an engine that provides power to all of the machine’s functions, including blade movement and steering.

Some models also feature additional attachments, such as rippers and scarifiers, which can be used for more specific tasks. 

Whether used for road construction or general site preparation, motor graders are an essential piece of equipment for any large-scale paving project.

Dozer

A dozer is a type of heavy construction equipment that is used to push and clear large amounts of earth and debris. Dozers typically have a large, flat blade at the front that is used to push material, and they are often equipped with a second smaller blade at the rear for finer grading.

These machines can be track-mounted or wheeled, and they are powered by diesel engines. Some models of dozer also feature a cab, which offers protection for the operator from weather and debris.

Dozers are an essential piece of equipment on many construction sites, as they are able to move large amounts of material in a short amount of time.

At W Silver , we offer a wide range of earthmoving equipment to suit every need. Whether you’re looking to clear a construction site or level a piece of land, we have the equipment you need to get the job done quickly and efficiently. With our experienced team, we can get you set up so you can handle any size job, big or small. So if you’re looking for earthmoving equipment rental, contact W Silver today.

What is Pipeline Equipment?

Pipeline equipment is used to construct and maintain pipelines. Pipeline equipment is essential for any company that deals with pipelines, such as oil companies, gas companies, and water companies.

Some example of popular pipeline equipment that we offer are:

Pipelayers

A pipelayer is a piece of construction equipment used to transport and lay pipes. It consists of a large metal frame that supports a series of rollers, through which pipes can be fed.

The pipelayer also has a boom arm, which is used to raise and lower the pipes into position. Once in place, the pipes are welded or bolted together to form a pipeline. 

Pipelayers are typically used for large-scale construction projects, such as those involving natural gas or water pipelines. 

Padding machines

Padding machines are essential pieces of equipment on pipeline and renewable energy jobs.. They are used to screen native soil to cover pipe and electrical lines

Their primary purpose is to provide a protective covering of pipe or cable per the job’s specifications, and because you are using the soil available onsite they are often more cost effective than importing covering material.

Pipe bending machine

Pipe bending machines are an essential piece of equipment in pipeline construction projects. They are used to bend pipes to the desired degree on the right of way.

Hydraulic pipe bending machines are the most common type. They use hydraulic pressure to bend the pipe, which makes them very powerful and accurate. 

If you’re not sure which type of machine is right for your project, consult with a company that specializes in pipeline equipment rentals. They will be able to help you choose the best option for your needs.

What is Renewable Equipment?

Renewable energy equipment is equipment that is used on projects designed to capture renewable energy.  This type of project  includes solar panels, and wind turbine erections.

For your renewable projects W Silver has a selection of:

• Agricultural tractors
• Fuel/Lube trucks
• crawler carriers
• excavators
• land levelers
• motor graders
• padding machines
• scrapers

Inspect Equipment Before Renting It And Returning It

You don’t want to end up with a piece of equipment that is not up to par and that could potentially cause an accident.

There are over 3,460 heavy equipment rental businesses in the US, and when you search for heavy equipment rentals of Texas, many options come up. However, not all are created equally, so you need to research to find the best local equipment rental for your project needs. You will only reap all the benefits that construction equipment rental can offer. 

An excellent start is knowing what questions to ask Texas heavy equipment rentals. You can narrow down your options and ensure you pick the right rental company for your project the first time. These seven questions will get you started. 

1. What Equipment Do I Need?

When searching for heavy equipment rentals in Texas, you want to find a knowledgeable provider that can advise you on your project needs. You might know what equipment you need for the project, but asking this question can help confirm if the company is knowledgeable and you have planned accordingly. 

Be sure to evaluate what equipment you need for the job and note the conditions of your site, which can impact your choices. Rental equipment can include various options, such as excavators and scrapers, so know what you are looking for before you begin researching Texas equipment rental options. It is ideal to find one Texas equipment rental that can cover all your project needs instead of using multiple local companies, which can quickly get confusing. 

Equipment Brands 

When you ask about the equipment you need, you can also inquire about the best brands for the gear and whether it is new or used. You want to find a Texas heavy equipment rental company that offers reputable brand options, which are likely to be more reliable and demonstrate that the provider cares about their equipment’s quality. Consider if you want to rent new or used equipment and check what options are available. 

Equipment Inventory 

When discussing equipment options, you will also get an idea of the equipment rental inventory they have available. It is no use picking a local equipment rental that has a limited inventory, so you have to wait for specific items.

You want to find a Texas equipment rental that has a large inventory. You will then have access to the best equipment and will have backup options if something happens, and the equipment needs replacing. Otherwise, you could end up having to wait for an item to be repaired, or you will have to use another company to replace an item.

2. Do You Deliver the Equipment?

Do not presume a local equipment rental company will offer delivery. Check what their rental process is for heavy equipment, which will include how the machinery is transported to your site. You may have a haul truck to  transport equipment to the  job yourself, but it is worth asking if the company provides the service.

Many heavy equipment rentals in Texas do deliver equipment. It can help save you time and money, so you can focus on your project while your equipment rental is delivered. Ensure delivery staff has the training and proper transport to deliver your equipment safely. 

Delivery Costs

If the company can deliver the heavy equipment, always ask what the freight price will be.  If you pick a local equipment rental in Texas, it is better to know what your costs are up front,  and if the transport is long-distance, there may be additional fees. You also want to inquire about pick up at the end of the rental and what will happen if a machine needs maintenance or transportation due to an issue. 

3. Who Is Responsible for Maintenance?

Asking a Texas heavy equipment rental about maintenance serves two purposes. It’s important to know how they care for their heavy equipment between clients and want to keep everything in optimum condition. And you need to know who will have to repair equipment while you are renting it.

Even if you rent quality heavy equipment, sometimes things go wrong. After all, heavy equipment is under a lot of stress, so an item may need maintenance or a new part to continue functioning. Some items even need daily checks to avoid downtime and repairs. 

Maintenance Services 

It can be helpful if a Texas heavy equipment company also includes maintenance services and states who is responsible for equipment malfunctions. They should have the parts, equipment, and expertise to fix the machines you are using quickly.

Maintenance services may be included or at an additional cost, so be clear on this when you commit to a rental. Ask how the maintenance service works and, if you have to request maintenance, what the response time is on average. 

If a company does not provide maintenance services, you must be responsible for all rental items. If you do not keep up with maintenance, you could face costly breakdowns that delay your project. Be sure to ask if the company documents any damages to equipment before you use it, and also make your own notes to avoid disputes.  

4. What About Insurance and Training?

When searching for a Texas heavy equipment rental, you do not only have to look at the quality of the machines. You can rent the best brands and quality equipment, but safety is paramount to a positive experience. Asking this question can also help determine how knowledgeable a company is about its heavy equipment rentals. 

Insurance 

You need to have the right insurance to operate the heavy rental equipment. A heavy equipment damage waiver is not insurance, so clarify if the company offers insurance options or if you have to find your own before you can rent equipment. If you have to find your own insurance, the Texas equipment rental company should have some recommendations. 

Be wary of a local equipment rental that does not speak about insurance or require evidence before you rent. You could incur costly damages, including liability issues and legal cases. 

Training 

You also need to know how to operate the heavy equipment you are renting. Ask if the Texas equipment rental company offers any training, manuals, or guidance on operating machinery. You need to factor in time to provide employee training if it is not offered, as insufficient training can lead to many issues.

You would risk heavy equipment malfunctioning faster if there were improper training. Staff will not use equipment in the most efficient way and can also store it wrong. You can also risk staff injuries such as struck-by injuries and even fatalities if they are not confident operating heavy-duty machinery. 

Look for a company that provides maintenance care recommendations and is happy to answer any queries you have before you commit to a rental.

5. What Are the Costs and Payment Options?

No matter how impressive the heavy equipment options are, you need to find an option you can afford. Budgeting accordingly will open up more quality options for your project, and you need to check rental costs. 

Planning your budget in advance ensures you allocate sufficient funds to cover your heavy equipment rentals. Otherwise, you could risk an unpleasant surprise for your budget.

Initial Quotes and Total Costs 

Always read the fine print of contracts and check there are no hidden fees you are unaware of, such as fees if you change the rental agreement. Reputable heavy equipment rental companies will be happy to provide transparent pricing and answer any of your questions. 

Costs can include:

• Price of the construction equipment rental
• Any delivery and pickup fees
• Sales tax 
• Any environmental fees
• Rental protection 

The initial quote may only be a base quote, so get the total heavy equipment cost in writing so you can assess what is included. Ensure that certain services are included, such as delivery, or you may underestimate your equipment rental budget. 

Remember that the cheapest quote does not always mean the best deal, and the most expensive option does not mean the best service. There are other factors you need to consider, such as any hidden fees, the company’s reputation, and the quality of equipment. You may be able to access discounts if you rent long-term, or you may have to pay a daily rate. 

Billing

Also, make sure you are clear on how you are billed. Some companies may take a deposit, and you need to know if you will be billed daily, weekly, or monthly. You do not want to have to gather the funds last minute or forget when a rental payment is due. 

6. What Is the Rental and Return Policy?

Many construction projects experience delays, including nine out of ten large-scale projects. The main reasons for delays include labor shortages, environmental issues, budget issues, and miscommunication. Some of these factors you can control, such as ensuring you invest time working out a budget and communicating openly, including with your Texas equipment rental. 

Flexible Rental Options 

However, sometimes there are factors that are out of your control, such as environmental issues in Texas. It is best to know in advance if your Texas heavy equipment rental company has a flexible policy to adapt to these changes. 

Can you easily extend the policy if there are delays? You might need a policy that is flexible with return dates or changes to equipment. Finding out if a policy is flexible in advance will prevent project downtime and other issues at a later date. If a heavy equipment rental company has a large inventory, they are likely to be more flexible with your policy. 

Returns Policy 

Hopefully, your planning will prevent any need for equipment returns. But sometimes you need to return the equipment if it doesn’t meet your needs. You may find it is only when equipment is on-site that you can learn what works for your project. 

Check what the returns policy is and if there are any additional fees involved, such as early contract termination or the need to arrange your own pickup transport. The Texas equipment rental company may also offer the chance to swap equipment for more suitable options. 

Do You Have Customer Support?

A construction equipment rental also needs to provide sufficient customer support for your rental period. You do not want to use a company that is hard to contact or does not provide customer service if issues arise.

Sometimes issues occur with heavy equipment after standard office hours, so you need to know if and how you can seek assistance to maintain optimum productivity. Some heavy equipment rentals in Texas offer customer service options in different time zones, which means you can easily access help if an issue occurs out of hours. Putting off seeking support comes with many risks, such as equipment damage, project delays, and safety risks.

Customer Support Process 

Along with checking customer support hours, ask what the process is for contacting support. Can you pick up the phone and call them? Or there may be a specific process you need to follow, such as having to request a callback or fill out a form. 

Learning what a Texas equipment rental’s customer support is like is essential to help guarantee a positive rental experience. You want to ensure the staff you contact are knowledgeable about the equipment and have the expertise to deal with your issue.

You will get an idea of the rental’s customer support when you first contact them. However, another way to check customer support is to read reviews. You can ask the Texas equipment rental for customer testimonials to help with your peace of mind. 

The Best Heavy Equipment Rentals of Texas

Once you decide to rent heavy equipment, you still need to invest time in finding the best company for your needs. It can be overwhelming to know how to narrow down heavy equipment rentals of Texas. However, do not give in to the temptation to pick the first option without research. 

Asking these questions will help you find the right Texas equipment rental the first time. You will avoid experiencing issues at a later date and ensure you are on the same page about vital factors that impact your rental.

W Silver offers cutting-edge specialty equipment for the pipeline, renewable, and earthmoving industries. We are dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, flexibility, and value, with multiple Texas locations within a 300-mile radius.

Earthmoving equipment is a collection of heavy-duty vehicles built for use on earthmoving works-related construction projects. For example, companies use earthmoving equipment to excavate construction foundations, transport vast quantities of surface material, etc. They encompass large types of machinery such as construction vehicles, heavy trucks, engineering equipment, heavy hydraulics, and more.

All businesses in today’s economic climate need every competitive advantage. If your company uses earthmoving equipment regularly, it pays to investigate and compare the prices of earthmoving equipment rental against the costs of buying and owning it. 

The building industry, followed by the mining sector, currently has the highest demand for global earthmoving equipment. Additionally, the growth in public infrastructure spending will raise the need for earthmoving equipment globally in the years to come.

Do you have any doubts about renting earthmoving equipment? Then, read on to see eleven fantastic advantages of renting earthmoving equipment.

What Is Earthmoving Equipment?

Earthmoving equipment is a group of the most recognized pieces of machinery on a construction site due to its size and force. They are used in a wide variety of contexts. For example, some of the many applications of these machines are: 

• Digging of foundations
• Rock removal
• Digging of trenches
• Soil grading
• Demolition of structures
• Other earthworks

Examples of some of these earthmoving equipment include: 

• Excavators
• Scrapers
• Bulldozers
• Wheel loaders
• Trenching machines

The above is a list of some of the most widely used earthmoving equipment in the construction business, each suited to a specific set of activities.

1. Earthmoving Equipment Rental Saves Money

Renting big equipment is often seen as an expense for a business, not as a liability on the balance sheet. This means you save more money to use it where needed to grow your business.

The cost of purchasing heavy machinery is high. Of course, for some companies, purchasing makes more sense than renting as they use that particular earthmoving equipment repeatedly. Others find that renting is a more straightforward financial commitment.

Put an End to Paying For Unused Earthmoving Equipment

When you rent earthmoving equipment, you use it and return it when you have no more need for it. Therefore, you only pay for the time you use the equipment.

On the other hand, if you own a piece of machinery and no longer need to use it, it will sit in storage for an undetermined amount of time. Then, even if you don’t use it, you still have to pay all its costs. 

Save With Tax Deductions

The costs of renting earthmoving equipment are an expense that can be deducted from your taxes. But, the costs of purchasing equipment are taxed at a depreciated rate throughout its lifetime.

In certain circumstances, renting equipment, such as wheel loaders or other pieces of equipment, might be considered a project expense, and the rental cost can be charged to the client.

Save on Maintenance and Repairs With Equipment Rental

Many pieces of earthmoving machinery incurs high repair costs. Upkeep and routine service of the machines are essential for trouble-free operation. So, if you have your own fleet of earthmoving equipment, you will bear the costs of keeping a maintenance team of experts dedicated to this task.

Mechanics must perform timely tasks to keep these machines at peak performance. These tasks entail:

• Checking fluids and hydraulics
• Performing periodic services
• Replacement of parts
• Updating of software technology

The cost of repairs and upkeep for a privately owned earthmoving equipment fleet is more complicated to anticipate than rental rates. However, when you hire equipment from a W Silver reliable earthmoving rental company, you can rest assured that it will be in excellent working condition.

Reduce Costly Waiting Times

Every business owner who operates construction jobs knows that every minute of missed production time is money down the drain. Also, a delay in meeting your deadline can eat into your profits. It’s a sad day when you have to pay staff to sit around for an item of machinery needed for a specific job to arrive or because a machine has broken down.

Due to downtime, don’t risk losing money or falling behind on your building project. Heavy equipment rentals allow you to get precisely what earthmoving equipment, when, and where you need it. For example, you can count on timely delivery and pickup if you need to rent an articulated truck.

Save on Storage Costs

When you manage your own construction or earthworks equipment, storage options are a need. For example,  you need a secure place to keep your piece of equipment when it is not in use or not on a job. 

Parking your earthmoving equipment requires space and a secure storage area. Construction business owners must therefore turn to rent suitable storage space when they have heavy machinery idle or if they don’t have the space or capacity to store said machinery.

You can also save on the difficulty of moving construction equipment to and from a job site by renting it only when you need it. And, of course, you also won’t have to pay the extra monthly storage fees.

Save on Transport Costs To and From Work Sites

It can be challenging and time-consuming to arrange for the transfer of your heavy equipment from its parked or stored place to the job site. However, you only need to make one phone call with heavy equipment rental.

The rental company handles the logistics of delivery and pickup, and many of them include the delivery price in the rental rate, so it doesn’t feel like an added cost.

What if your business is situated in one place but has a contract operation 1,000 miles away? It makes sense that renting locally would be more cost-effective than transporting your large pieces of equipment across the country.

2. Keep Up With Cutting-Edge Technology 

A reputable provider of earthmoving equipment rentals regularly upgrades its fleet to include the most recent models available. 

A business can gain a lot by using equipment with modern technology because it makes the project more efficient and specialized. So, for example, a rental company will have this specialized equipment that you, as a business, do not use all the time.

It goes without saying that from time to time, you will need this specialized equipment to complete a few specific tasks. This will give you the edge and save time, reducing wear and tear on your own business’s machines.

With earthmoving machines, in particular, you benefit from unadulterated strength, power, and precise performance for even the most exacting procedures.

Modern models have user-friendly technologies that offer metrics and other data that help with the actual work. For example:

• Grade control
• Automatic boom and bucket control

Many companies choose to use whatever equipment is available or that the company owns that is outdated. However, technology-based equipment selection can allow you to complete many current tasks with fewer pieces of equipment in less time.

Renting also eliminates any risk of outdated or unsuitable equipment, which can help you improve your ability to compete in the market.

A smart rental partner regularly rotates equipment out of the fleet to have the most recent models and technologies available. This ensures that you and your jobs use the specific capabilities with minimal cost.

3. Achieve Worry-Free Compliance

Air-quality regulations must be followed, especially in today’s environment with strict emissions rules. Laws can be perplexing. Standards infractions cost money and harm a company’s reputation.

Off-road equipment emissions are defined by horsepower and other factors. It’s difficult to predict how laws and rules will influence your business.

A good earthmoving rental company ensures regulatory compliance. No company needs its conformance status questioned; thus, emissions and safety laws must be met.

4. Give Your Business More Flexibility

In today’s business market, you need to be flexible due to several things. The main ones are: 

• A major recession
• Sharp profitability
• Increasing regulations
• Volatile markets
• A growing need for specialized skills
• The general desire to provide good service, great products, and efficiency

Companies can respond to niche markets, finances, and demand changes by renting equipment. It’s a flexible option, especially when it’s explored in partnership with a trustworthy equipment partner.  

5. Borrowing Power

If you look at a company’s finances in terms of its liabilities and assets, equipment debt and old equipment could make the company look less financially stable. This makes it harder to get loans from banks for the business. The less business debt you have, the bigger chance your business can borrow money is better.

6. Testing Before You Buy 

Not sure which earthmover to buy? Renting is the best option to make a smart investment before buying. Leasing allows you to choose loaders, dozers, excavating machinery, articulated trucks,, and more.

You can test out different equipment types and sizes for forthcoming projects by renting them. Then, with the support of rental specialists, you’ll narrow down your decision sooner.

7. Avoid Market Volatility

Like any business, the equipment market has peaks and valleys. These days of a global epidemic, the future is unpredictable, and the amount of work is out of your hands.

That said, your company can weather economic downturns by renting heavy equipment. In addition, earthmoving equipment rentals are more flexible than buying, especially in poor times. 

8. Keep Up With the Competition

We know how expensive it is to buy a new fleet every couple of years and sometimes certain jobs demand more modern equipment to help meet productivity goals. 

When you rent, you can plan that rental companies usually have the newest machines in their fleet. Therefore, you can be sure that when you rent, you will get new machines to add to your fleet for a job site.

9. Stay Away From Long-Term Commitments

When you own a piece of equipment for a long time, many costs come with it. Assuming the machine isn’t being misused, there are the following:

• Warranties that require keeping records
• Preventive maintenance
• Carrying out routine costs
• Physical damage insurance
• Interest payments if the machine is bankrolled
• Emissions compliance, etc
• The opportunity cost of capital

Having your own equipment is a big responsibility, and it’s not right for every company. Also, when it’s time to buy new equipment, you’ll need to sell or trade in the old one. However, if you rent equipment, it will be in great shape, and you won’t have to worry about long-term commitments and such. 

10. Reduce Your Stress Levels

It goes without saying rental companies rent heavy equipment. Thus, their reputation is everything. They must make sure to maintain their machinery to prevent breakdowns.

The rental firm handles all of the following, which you do not have to stress about:

• Delivery of the rented equipment
• Picking up the rented machinery
• Hauling to and from storage as needed

Just think of having all the earthmoving machinery needed to do your project without the trouble of major repairs, sourcing, compliance difficulties, transporting, storage, etc. In addition, you only need to make one phone call to rent heavy equipment.

11. Multifunctional Machines 

Having the choice to rent gives you much more freedom than spending money to add to your fleet. You can also rent different types of attachments for machines that are easy to connect and interchange. For example, with crawler carriers you can rent one machine and add other attachments to it so that it can do different jobs.

Earthmoving Machinery At the Drop of a Hat!
