Left: Manufacturers like John Deere offer incentives like zero to low interest rate programs to make the buying process make more sense to a construction company's bottom line. Many manufacturers also offer preventative maintenance programs that extend the life of your equipment, prevent costly repairs and reduce downtime, making ownership a more profitable and enjoyable experience.
they can do a true side-by-side comparison of purchasing versus renting,” McLean says. The Tech Factor The construction rental industry has introduced a host of new technologies, from tech on the equipment itself to how contractors request a unit and where they get it. “There are many rental companies out there and with the technology to advertise services over many mediums, it becomes an advantage to the contractor. If they want to rent through an app or in person,
all options are available,” Betcher says. Building on this, in addition to reserving a rental, construction companies can also use technology to manage the entire rental process. Stannard points out how ease of use is a big attraction, saying it's about having a single point of contact for all their rental needs. “They can see and manage their many dozens of rentals in one spot, and see real time information about the status of each piece of equipment. It's incredibly easy to place new orders, manage historical and
existing orders, handle invoices, report any issues and more through a customer portal. We use text messages and emails to keep customers and their job site workers up-to-date with equipment delivery, pickup and the like,” Stannard states. Certainly, the equipment rental process is changing with the help of technology, but perhaps one of the greatest benefits of renting is the fact that contractors can “test drive” some of the new and emerging technologies on a piece of equipment.
