The raw cost of renting is more manageable in the short-term as well. Let’s break down some specific numbers when looking at industry averages and prices from Big Rentz, a major heavy construction equipment rental agency. There is one clear driver for the growth of construction heavy equipment rental. Industry construction equipment is too-often left to collect dust until it’s needed for a new project. Naturally, doing so only leads to equipment depreciation. Renting can thus be a double benefit to construction companies.
Key Takeaways:
- Whether this increase in rentals is due to the ailing economy or due to other socioeconomic trends, the rental movement is likely here to stay.
- There are a number of other benefits to renting construction equipment instead of buying it.
- Finally, renting gives construction managers the opportunity to try out construction equipment before making a purchase, should they be considering that route.
