Why Hire Industrial Equipment?

In a challenging economy where agility and performance are key, businesses need to act on every competitive advantage that presents itself. When it comes to industrial equipment, this means renting or hiring machinery and power generators rather than buying. Here’s why, from Australia’s leading CAT rental team. 


Maximize available resources while minimizing operating costs 

Generally speaking, this is the central benefit of choosing to rent industrial equipment rather than buy it outright. This translates into several significant advantages, which include: 
  • Avoid upfront investment costs: Industrial cooling equipment (fluid chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers and air handlers), commercial power generators and air compressors can quickly amount to a significant capital cost. It may take many months or even years for an organization to develop a strategy to accommodate these costs and once you’ve purchased it, that capital is locked into that equipment, which is likely to slowly depreciate in value. 
  • Prevent long-term repair and maintenance costs: This industrial equipment will require repair and maintenance over the years that your business owns it. This includes mechanical inspections to check fluids and hydraulics, replacement of worn parts, and upgrades, not to mention unforeseen breakdowns and damage. If you choose to hire your industrial equipment, then the CAT rental team will take on the responsibility of installation, maintenance, and repairs as per your agreement. 
  • Avoid logistics issues and costs: When you own your industrial equipment, it becomes your organization’s responsibility to store and move it from project to project. Sometimes, this equipment will require long-term storage while between projects which, if done incorrectly, can result in machine wear and degradation. This is also an issue for organizations that work on projects in different locations as transporting across cities and states can be expensive. Instead, a CAT rental team can simply send the required industrial equipment, including power generators, cooling equipment and more, to any site within their area. 
  • Hassle-free workplace safety compliance: Compliance with employee safety regulations, environmental regulations and others regarding industrial equipment are made simple and efficient when you choose to hire rather than purchase power generators and cooling equipment. 
  • Reduced downtime on projects: If your industrial equipment breaks down on the job at a construction site, the office or mine, the downtime is going to cause financial and productivity losses as well as frustration. You’ll then have to source and book a repair specialist and wait for their schedule to clear and parts to arrive. When you rent your industrial equipment, downtime is reduced to a minimum. Either the CAT rental team sends out maintenance specialists immediately or the unit is replaced while awaiting repairs. 

If you are looking for a CAT rental team to handle your industrial equipment needs, including power generators, speak to the professionals at Energy Power Systems Australia.

The last thing you want is to hire the wrong diesel generators for your needs, so it’s important to know certain terms in order to make the process easier. Here’s some insight from the CAT rental team. When you ask about diesel generators, the first thing a salesperson will enquire about is the size you require for your commercial or industrial project. Generator size is measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVA), but it’s a term that isn’t well-known outside the industry. Usually, when people hire a generator, they know how much power they need in terms of kilowatts (kW) but not kVA. What is the Difference Between kW and kVA? kW are a unit of real power and a kW rating of diesel generators is how much power they can output based on the horsepower of the engine. Essentially, it is how much power the generator actually has. kVA is a measure of ...
