Most of us know that it is possible to rent equipment, but many of us are not quite aware of the variety of rental equipment that is available. What’s more, it can sometimes be intimidating to think about renting a piece of equipment that we don’t use that often or have never used at all. Just as going to a car mechanic or a computer store can make us feel like we don’t know what we’re doing, it can be nerve-wracking to think about renting a piece of equipment for the first time. Not to worry though, rental equipment professionals not only have the knowledge to help you use the equipment correctly, it’s in their best interest to work with you to make sure that you know what you’re doing. This added level of service is just one of the reasons why equipment rental can be a great option for you!

The Advantages of Rental Equipment

One of the biggest advantages of rental equipment is cost. Renting tools and equipment that we don’t plan to use that often, can be a much more cost-effective option than purchasing that same equipment. Equipment rental yards price their rentals by time used, meaning that if you only have to use the piece of equipment for a half day, then you can save even more money. Aside from just the cost aspect, education is another important plus to equipment rental. Your rental professional can work with you to show you how to use the tool or the rental equipment. What’s more, they can answer any questions that you may have about use both before and during the rental. And, if you ever do decide that you want to purchase a piece of equipment, many rental stores are available to both sell and service the item. Such flexibility is really one of the biggest advantages to rental yards.

Small Tool and Equipment Rental

When we think about equipment rental, we often think of it as mainly large equipment such as backhoes and tractors, but in addition to these kinds of equipment, many rental yards also rent small tools. Such tools can include but are not limited to, saws, drills and nail guns. Many of these tools are great when you need them, which may not be often, so renting these tools can be perfect. If you are doing a very specialized job, your local equipment rental yard may have just the tool or piece of equipment you need too. These tools can include animal traps, signs post hole diggers and pressure washers. So, whether you live in an urban area and need a small tool for a short time, or if you are doing a job or need a tool for a particular occasion, rental can be a great way to go!

Indoor Rental Equipment

Doing some remodeling and want to do the job yourself but need a paint sprayer or a sander? Don’t want to spend a lot of money on one or only need it this once? Rent it! Rental yards not only offer rental equipment and tools for outdoor use but they rent equipment for use indoors for your remodeling or refinishing project. If you have an emergency project, such as cleaning up or repairing fire or water damage, many rental equipment companies also rent items like pumps, heaters and generators that can allow you to do the job yourself while saving on the cost of hiring a contractor. You also have access to the knowledge and experience of your rental professional to help make sure you get the job done right.

Lawn and Garden Equipment Rental

Of course, you’re going to just need rental equipment for inside your house, but for your yard and for the field surrounding your property. Need to rent a large tiller to till rocky ground? Need an Orec Brush Cutter to devour the brush that has come up in the spring? Rental companies can have you covered here as well. Rental yards can rent not only the larger outdoor power equipment like the Orec Brush Rover or Cyclone Flail mower, but smaller outdoor equipment such as chain saws and edgers, and even outdoor and garden tools such as trimmers and clippers. They can even rent leaf vacuums, snow blowers and power rakes for your seasonal jobs. That variety again! Make rental a great option for your power equipment needs throughout the year.

Rental Equipment is Often the Right Equipment for You

In addition to the great variety of tools that rental yards make available to you, they also have professionals with a wealth of knowledge and years of experience to help you use those tools to do the job right. And there is the cost factor: equipment rental can be much kinder on your budget than purchasing that equipment or hiring a contractor. So if you want to do the job right and you want to do it yourself, give your rental yard a call and reserve that piece of rental equipment you need to do the job!
