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.

I want to get some equipment for my farm. It makes sense that I would want to consider renting it! That seems like a good way to ensure that I put everything together properly.

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.
