Why Renting Is a Good Idea

6/22/2020

Test drive before purchasing

Renting is an easy, obligation-free way to try out a piece of construction equipment that you aren't certain about buying. It's also a great method of determining whether or not a machine meets your size, power, productivity, and fuel-efficiency needs.

Rent on your schedule

Pittman Tractor's flexible rentals offer daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates, making it easy to only pay for construction equipment rentals when you need them. Return the machine when you don't need it, pick it back up again when you do. For added convenience, we offer jobsite delivery and pickup via our fleet of delivery trucks and trailers.

Perfect for specialized and short term projects

If you need a specialized piece of construction machinery for a short-term or one-time job, renting is very likely your best option. Instead of having to buy a new piece of equipment that may do more or less than you need it to, renting allows you to operate the specific type and size of equipment that best fits the job.

You made a good point when you shared that it is better to rent if you need specific equipment for a short-term project. In this way, you won't have to spend a lot of money to buy machinery that you won't be using a lot. I would like to think if a company is thinking of getting a piece of equipment, it should consider renting from a reliable supplier.

You made an excellent point that when renting a truck, it is important for us to have a fixed schedule. In doing so, we will have a clear idea on how long the duration will be as long as the project timeline. Assuming I need to rent a truck, I will definitely keep this information in mind.

I'm going to need a tractor for my farm, but I want to make sure that I get the right one. It makes sense that renting one for this season would be a good idea! That way, I can see how I like it before I choose to buy.

My dad has been thinking about renting some equipment for his next shed project because he wants to be more effective. He would really like to get some help from a professional in order to be a lot more efficient. It was interesting to learn about how the size, power, productivity, and fuel efficiency can meet their needs by testing out different pieces of equipment.

I do agree that before renting any equipment, it is important for us to have it tested to ensure it is running smoothly. The other day my wife mentioned that she would like to rent a lift crane to paint our home. I will advise her to have the lifts tested before she makes any deposit.

Thanks for pointing out that renting will ensure that you will be getting the best machine for the job without investing a lot when you only need it for a short-term project. I guess we should look for construction equipment rentals now that we need the house to be renovated to add more rooms to the property. It would be best as well if we hire professionals for this project to ensure the house will last for a long time.

I never knew that renting can allow us to use the best equipment that will fit the job. My husband and I are planning to develop our land near the beach before our parents come to visit in June. We are hoping to find a reliable company on Monday where we can rent heavy equipment for at least two months to finish our project.

Thank you for letting me know that
renting permits you to use the exact type and size of equipment that best suits the job. My brother needs to use a forklift for the project he is working on, but he doesn't own one. I should advise him to look for an equipment rental supplier that can provide him with the equipment he needs.

It's great that you talked about renting construction equipment and how it helps you test it before you make a purchase. My uncle and cousin want to invest in a construction project, so they're interested in construction machinery. I heard they'd like to check out some machines next week, so I'll be sure to share your tips with my uncle and cousin now. Thanks for the advice on renting construction machinery to figure out if their size matches your needs.

I love how you talk about how renting can help you with short-term projects that you don't want or need to buy the equipment for. My uncle is working on building a tool shed in his yard and needs to lift a lot of heavy materials. He's been looking into forklift renting and seeing what that can help him with.

Thanks so much for the advice to test drive before actually renting it so you can ensure it's a good vehicle to rent. My uncle is working on a big project in his yard and he needs it to lift things. We've been looking into finding a place he can rent a reliable machine for a day or two.

Equipment rentals are comparably more affordable. They provide a more flexible option as you don't have to commit to the long-term costs of owning heavy equipment.

I like how you said that renting is a good idea if your project is short-term. My brother was at my house yesterday afternoon for lunch, and he talked about how his company plans on doing some renovations to their building in a couple of weeks, so he wants to make sure they get all of the right equipment for it. I'll pass this information along to him so he can know the advantages of renting construction equipment.

It really helped when you said that renting is a good option when we need specialized equipment for our construction project. We might probably consider a crane rental company for the construction of our home next year. It will be a five-story house which is why we definitely need something that will be able to reach that height safely for the workers we will hire.

Thank you for mentioning that renting is a simple, risk-free option to test out construction equipment before deciding whether to buy it. My sister wants to construct the structure. I'll advise her to use a crane service rather than purchase one.

It is very enlightening that you talked about the fact that renting heavy equipment is a good idea. My dad's boss is currently planning to build a skyscraper and needed some information on crane rental companies. I will surely forward the message of this article to his boss and tell him to inquire at a trustable heavy equipment rental company for the service that he wants.

I appreciate your emphasis on the advantages of test driving a machine before making a purchase, which is an excellent way to ensure that the equipment meets size, power, productivity, and fuel-efficiency needs.

Your mention of flexible rental options is particularly relevant, as it allows customers to only pay for construction equipment rentals when they need them. This is a cost-effective solution for small construction companies that may not have the resources to invest in expensive equipment but still require reliable machinery to complete their projects.

I also appreciate your point about the suitability of renting for specialized and short-term projects. Instead of purchasing a new piece of equipment that may not be necessary for future projects, renting allows customers to operate the specific type and size of equipment that best fits the job.

We often have crane equipment rented out and hired as people require equipment for only a short time. Crane hire is essential for many lifting projects. Professional help from a team is essential.
