Own Your Own Construction Business? 4 Reasons You Should Rent Equipment More Often

Blog

When you first started your construction business, you probably focused on adding one piece of equipment at a time. As soon as you had a little extra cash, you might have invested in a new compound miter saw or a round of new drills for your guys. However, renting instead of buying some items might be more beneficial for your business. Here are four reasons you should rent industrial construction equipment, from a company like All-Star Equipment, more often:

1: Try Out New Products

Nothing is more frustrating than sinking a bunch of cash into a piece of equipment, only to find out later that another brand or model is better. However, renting equipment gives you the chance to try out new products without any permanent commitment. Since many construction rental companies offer a large variety of products, you can compare different models, features, and equipment sizes before you make a big investment of your own.

2: Perfect for Highly Specialized Job

As a general contractor, you might pride yourself on tackling any job your customers throw at you. Unfortunately, if you buy a new piece of specialty equipment every time you have to do different types of work, you might end up with a large collection of gear that you don't use very often. For example, you might need a power trowel or a concrete buggy to finish up that brick building exterior, even though you probably won't use that masonry equipment again anytime soon. Fortunately, renting equipment gives you the opportunity to finish jobs professionally, without hanging onto specialized tools forever.

3: No Need to Store

Unfortunately, spending money on equipment that you won't use very often isn't the only downfall that comes along with buying specialty equipment. You might also have to pay to store those tools, which comes along with a steep price tag. As a matter of fact, the average price for a large 20 foot by 20 foot storage unit is about $225 per month—eating into your company profits. However, because most industrial rental companies rent products on a daily or hourly basis, you can use that tool for as long as you need to and then take it back at the end of the day.  

4: Preserve Financial Liquidity

As a contractor, you might find yourself writing large checks for supplies and payroll on a regular basis. However, if all of your money is tied up in specialty equipment, it might be hard to make your bills. Fortunately, renting equipment might help you to free up your cash flow, so that you can preserve financial liquidity.

By renting construction equipment occasionally, you might be able to free up storage space, invest your money a little more wisely, and tackle specialty jobs with ease.
