Heavy equipment rental can be a strategic approach in many situations. Construction companies can get extra support during a temporary project increase. Land owners can get a specialized model for assistance with a weekend project. Anyone who uses heavy equipment can benefit from considering a rental.

But the timing of the rental plays an important role as well. It can affect the success and cost of the project, making it an important factor to consider. 

We've created the following guide to the best time to rent heavy equipment. If you have any questions or want to explore heavy equipment for rent, visit RECO Equipment. Our dealership offers many locations across the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast, including Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.

You Have A Short Term Project

Short term projects can be a great source of additional income...but not if you lack the necessary equipment to tackle them. Purchasing a model is unnecessary, and unwise, for a short term project. You'd spend significantly more than you'd make just getting the model. That's where heavy equipment rentals enter the picture.

Pay a drastically lower upfront cost to get access to the needed model. When you finish the project, return the model. It's a smart move to maximize your profits for those odd jobs and one-off tasks.

Your Owned Equipment Is Temporarily Unavailable

Maybe your trusty model is getting routine maintenance at the service department. Maybe it broke down and you're waiting for the needed replacement part to arrive. Whatever the situation, there are times when you own the needed equipment...but can't use it.

Heavy equipment rentals can save the day! Get the model you need, but without a hefty purchase cost. Simply pay the low rental cost until your trusty equipment is back in commission.

You Are Making A Purchase Soon

Heavy equipment does not run cheap. These models are a significant financial investment that can last you many years. It's important that this big investment is an informed one!

Look into heavy equipment for rent and see if any of those options overlap with the models you are considering buying. Rent the model for a short period of time and test drive it. See how well it functions at your work site and whether it offers the necessary features. This approach can save you from buying a model, then finding out it's not a good fit.

You Have A Temporary Increase In Work

Workloads can ebb and flow. When you get a temporary spike in projects, your current fleet may not be enough. But it also doesn't make financial sense to purchase a model that won't be consistently needed. Heavy equipment rentals allow you to get the extra support you need for the length of time you need. Once the workload returns to normal, you can return the heavy equipment rental.
