Renting Forklifts vs. Purchasing Forklift: Pro's & Con's
Renting forklifts helps businesses avoid operating a single type of forklift that, in many cases, will work for only a specific job, but not others. Forklift rentals that complement already owned equipment during “rushes” or busy seasons are a great way to maximize productivity and utilization. It’s costly to let purchased equipment sit idle when business slows.
Pros and cons to consider when renting forklifts vs. purchasing forklifts Include:
Rental equipment ensures peace of mind. You will be stress-free knowing your equipment delivered to the job site and that it has gone through a rigorous pre-rental checkout and taken care of properly with routine scheduled maintenance.
When owning equipment, bills can pile up fast with the endless stress of transporting equipment from job site to job site, searching for a service provider to perform the necessary scheduled maintenance, and taking care of equipment after breakdowns. Maintenance costs are a significant expense associated with owning your equipment.
These are just a few main reasons you may want to consider forklift rental vs. purchase. We offer a wide variety of rental equipment, from forklifts for material handling needs to aerial equipment for inventory control and facility maintenance.
