If you have a business that rents equipment and excavators, you have many demands on your time. For example, how many of these problems sound familiar?
- Ensuring you have the correct machines available and not tagged out of service
- Following machine maintenance schedules and protocol
- Dealing with weather
- Managing transportation difficulties
- Having a machine that is on-site but not performing.
If those headaches weren’t enough, there’s no secret that the rental industry is brutal on machines.
Rental equipment takes a beating
Typically, contractors focus on their tasks and productivity more than the health of your machine. For example, contaminated fluids and using incorrect fluids are common. While these problems can’t be avoided, they can be minimized. For instance, clearly labeling a machine can minimize the risk of fluid cross-contamination. Frequently maintaining or upgrading the fuel filtering system can be another protection against costly fuel injection system repairs. Industrial-sized water separation filters and water-absorbent filters can be fitted to your equipment in order to minimize damage from dirt and water.
In addition, equipment rollovers seem to plague the rental industry. And, when a machine rolls over, external damage is often just the tip of an iceberg. Too often, overzealous operators try to right the machine and restart it. This commonly causes more engine damage than the original incident, typically hydrolocking and bending a connecting rod.
