Did you know that hiring plant machinery has a number of benefits for construction companies? As budgets tighten and we all look for more cost-effective, high value options for our businesses, machinery hire could be just the thing you’re looking for in the New Year. Say goodbye to high upfront costs, downtime during servicing and limited budget-dependant options when you hire with Ace Plant!
Cost effective hire
Hire can be extremely cost effective as opposed to purchasing. This is especially true for short term or occasional usage, as you avoid paying huge upfront costs for equipment you will use very rarely, or for the one-off project- not to mention depreciation!
Salt spreading and snow clearing equipment, for example, might be something your company doesn’t use every year, and when it is necessary, you might only need to use it a handful of times in warmer winters. This is where you will reap the benefits of machinery hire as a cost effective option.
Choice of Plant Machinery
Hiring plant equipment gives you access to a wide range of high quality options, including new models which smaller construction companies might otherwise be unable to access, not only from a financial point of view, but also from a practical perspective. Think about all of the great quality machinery options there are out there, from John Deere tractors to Volvo excavators. You can’t own them all, particularly as a smaller company, but you can experience as many of them as you like with convenient and flexible hire options! Which leads us onto…
Safe machinery storage
Construction equipment is valuable; did you know that nearly £17.5 million worth of construction tools were stolen in London in 2020? This means that if you purchase equipment outright it’s also necessary to find long-term storage solutions for your machinery. Hire equipment means you only need shorter-term storage facilities, boosting the cost-saving factor of hiring as well as convenience and practicality.
Reduced Maintenance Hassle
When hiring plant machinery, maintenance is taken care of for you. This includes professional servicing, regular inspections, and a final once-over prior to machinery leaving the depot. Maintenance can take out large chunks of your working day, leading to increased downtime. This isn’t an issue with hire equipment as all machinery is supplied in perfect working order, fully serviced.
