Renting Construction Equipment

While we love to get our hands dirty and tackle all our problems with a little elbow grease, there are projects that need more effort than that. In the past, people used rudimentary machines to help them level a building or transport debris; these got the job done but were not highly efficient or able to handle different jobs. Now we have highly efficient and versatile construction equipment.

To make your projects easier and achieve a more precise result, use quality construction equipment. If you don’t want to purchase one right away, you can come to Bobcat of York/Frederick/Adams County (formerly McGrew Bobcat) and look at our construction equipment rentals. We’re located in York and Hanover, Pennsylvania as well as Frederick, Maryland.

Savings On Cost

While construction equipment rentals aren’t cheap by any means, they’re definitely less expensive than buying the machines. When buying a machine, you usually have to make an initial down payment and then make subsequent payments as well. That costs a whole lot more than simply renting and getting on with your work. If you work on different projects and don’t need the same machine again and again, renting is not only cost-effective but also saves you the bother of finding space to store your machine when it’s not in use.

Keep Up With Upgrades

Since construction equipment is spendy, most owners hope to get the maximum use out of them for an extended period of time, usually for at least a decade. If you’ve bought the machine, that’s ten years of technological and mechanical updates that you’ll be missing out on. The construction equipment market is highly competitive and innovations are the name of the game. As such, it doesn’t take long for the latest machine to become outdated. This is why construction equipment rentals are preferred by many professionals who like to use up-to-date machinery. When your next project rolls around, you can rent the updated version of the machine you previously used. Not only does this make your work more efficient, it also gives you a distinct advantage over your competitors.

Forget Maintenance And Repairs

As a general rule, when you get construction equipment rentals, you’re significantly less responsible for the maintenance. The natural wear and tear that happens with using any machine is one of the biggest hassles of owning one. It can end up costing you a lot in terms of repairs. For the most part, you will not be on the hook for these repairs if you don’t own the equipment.

Cutting Down Additional Costs

When it comes to owning your own heavy equipment, you have additional responsibilities like transporting it from one place to another or finding a storage place for it when it’s not in use. This leads to more expenditure and added responsibility. If you’re opting for construction equipment rentals, you won’t have to worry about these things, relieving you of some of the burden that comes with owning expensive heavy machines.

One way to reach a decision about whether to rent or buy is to figure out how often you intend to use the equipment and for how long. For repeat extended use, it’ll be cheaper to buy than rent, while for short and intermittent usage, renting is the best option.

If you’re having any trouble reaching a decision, come and talk to our helpful staff at Bobcat of York/Frederick/Adams County (formerly McGrew Bobcat) in York and Hanover, Pennsylvania or Frederick, Maryland. They’ll be happy to help you figure out which options and machines will work best for you. We proudly serve the good people of Pennsylvania!
