Equipment Rental Trends for 2022

The equipment rental industry is very competitive. There are a lot of customers that rely on rental equipment for their construction projects. There is a fair share of rental companies that customers can choose from. This has led to customers being able to demand more from their rental provider, which has led to some shifts in the industry. Below, we will discuss the latest industry trends for 2022.

Quality: No more using the oldest machinery that barely functions. Safety and efficiency are being prioritized. This means that only the latest heavy equipment will suffice. They come equipped with the latest safety equipment and experience far fewer breakdowns than older equipment.

Options: Customers are looking for more options in terms of payment and rental agreements. Options such as pay per minute, pay per use, and subscription-based models are gaining in popularity.

Telematics: Telematics has been around for years now, but not all equipment rental companies utilize them. They are small devices that typically plug into a piece of equipment's OBDII port or similar data port. It is capable of tracking engine diagnostics, fuel usage, engine hours, and location. This provides valuable insights for both rental companies and their clients.

Common Problems Experienced While Buying Or Renting Heavy Construction Equipment

Fri, 05 Apr 2019 06:03:21 GMT

Buying or renting construction equipment can be challenging as there are various technical factors to consider before making your final decision. The machinery you choose must be easy to use, fulfill the needs you have in mind, and meet your budget. At the same time, you must possess the technical understanding to know what makes various equipment unique or how they differ from each other.

If you jump right into the buying or renting process before doing your research, you may be forced to delay your purchase or rental agreement, or worse, you could get the wrong equipment for your event or project. As a result, you could incur unnecessary expenses, experience problems during maintenance, or face other stressful situations that delay your end goals.

To help you avoid painful outcomes like these, R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. has listed solutions to some of the most common problems experienced while buying or renting heavy construction equipment.

1. Buyers of equipment, such as a scissor lift, are often hesitant before committing to the purchase.

Given the high cost of heavy equipment, buyers want to make sure they are making the most cost-effective purchase possible. At the same time, they may want their machinery to be reliable and easily serviceable. They also need to know how much training will be involved with the purchase and if it is going to be useful in multiple situations.

It’s always good to start with researching the equipment in question to avoid this problem. A buyer who has researched the product they want to buy is usually less likely to have buyers remorse. Often, dealers and even rental houses should be able to answer any questions a buyer may have about a specific product. An excellent rental company or dealer can also offer solutions from multiple manufacturers.

2. Once a piece of equipment is purchased, buyers worry about maintaining and servicing the unit.

If not previously familiar with the equipment, any repair can become a daunting task. However, maintenance agreements are usually available with reliable heavy equipment dealers (like R.B. U'Ren Equipment Inc. ). Signing up for a maintenance agreement allows the buyer to relax knowing that any required inspections or repairs are done according to manufacturer specifications as well as within compliance of all ANSI (American National Standards Institute) regulations.

3. Renters of equipment are often unfamiliar with the equipment. It can cause stress for the renter if they are unaware of the options available to them.

Much like buying equipment, renting equipment also requires a basic knowledge of the units available. For example, if an event requires electricity, how big or how many generators would be needed? A knowledgeable representative, in this scenario, should be able to assess the situation and determine what the power requirements are and if there are any other specific elements required like distribution panels or cable ramps.

If you feel uncertain while choosing generators, aerial work platforms, and forklift rentals in Rochester Niagara Falls NY, reach out to equipment rental experts at R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. We have over seventy-five years of experience as R.B. U'Ren Equipment Inc. is a family owned and operated business that’s been committed to the community and its development for decades.

Benefits of Hybrid Machines - The Genie Z 60/37 FE

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 06:00:33 GMT

Whether you work in construction, maintain lighting and fixtures beyond the reach of a ladder, engage in cherry-picking, pruning tall trees, or painting high walls, you will need the assistance of hybrid machines like aerial work platforms and boom lifts to reach difficult areas at extreme heights safely. These machines enable quick and easy access, reduce damages and dangers, and the need for scaffolding.

To make the job more convenient, we recently acquired the new Genie Hybrid Boom lift which allows you to work in tough environments like a job site as well as restricted areas indoors (such as banquet halls). The Genie Z 60/37 FE is a fuel-electric hybrid. It has the potential to be the first on the job and last off. It allows work to be done outside as well as inside eliminating the need for different types of equipment through the job’s different stages, which means you’ll be ready for anything, indoor and outdoor.

Benefits of the Genie Z 60/37 FE!

The new Genie Z 60/37 fuel-electric hybrid (FE) boom lift is a four-wheel drive with the ability to climb 25% faster than standard diesel-powered lifts. From the drive system viewpoint, the Genie Z 60/37 FE functions similarly to other rough terrain machines.

This hybrid machine comes with foam filled tires that improve its all-terrain abilities and also features non-marking tires, essential for interior application. Moreover, the boom lift has fully sealed AC drive motors that are capable of functioning even when fully submerged underwater, which enables them to live up to their any terrain feature.

Another unique feature of the boom lift is that it ensures low noise and emissions, making it perfect for indoor usage and confined areas like warehouses, manufacturing plants, malls, halls, stadiums, and streets. Although the Genie Z 60/37 FE is considerate about the environment, it still has the capacity to meet high productivity needs. Its engine powered generator monitors the state of the batteries to make sure they are topped off for maximum usage. It then shuts off automatically to conserve fuel and reduce your costs.

How to use the Genie Z 60/37 FE?

Like all other aerial work platforms, operator training is not only encouraged but also required to ensure the safe operation of the Genie Z 60/37 FE. At R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc., we provide equipment safety training in addition to the machinery we present to you on rent. Our in-house trainers perform special training classes to ensure your safety and the effective operation of the high-tech heavy equipment we have to offer.

For all your projects, our Genie Z 60/37 FE boom lift rentals are available at daily, weekly, and monthly rates. Give us a call to get a quote for your requirements. The boom lift can be rented from both of our branches. All you need to do is call us at (716)283-4466 and reserve the unit for your job today!

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Genie Z 60/37 FE, you’ll have a less favorable option which includes multiple pieces of equipment for the job. For example, one machinery for outdoor use and one for inside use. However, with this new boom lift, you can count on one machine, pay booking fees and deposits for one machine, and make the best use of it for multiple purposes.

To learn more about the Genie Z 60/37 FE and other equipment we rent out to clients, check out the R.B. U'Ren Equipment Inc. here !

Five Tips for Renting Equipment

Sun, 11 Nov 2018 05:55:16 GMT

Renting equipment can offer an attractive, cost-effective alternative to getting things done without splurging on expensive tools or machine. Renting offers construction companies access to a wide variety of construction equipment for added job versatility without the added headaches associated with ownership, warranties, regular maintenance and repair, transportation, and storage.

However, while renting construction equipment offers a much cheaper alternative, you need to keep in mind that your time, money, and quality results of the construction is at hand when you rent a piece of equipment. To ensure that you avoid any problems when renting equipment, R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. has put together a list of five tips for renting equipment.

Tip #1: Know all aspects of the job.

Before renting a piece of equipment, whether it’s an Aerial Work Platform or a Generator, it’s recommended to know all aspects of the job. For example, if you need to do work outside as well as inside, express that to the rental coordinator, they may be able to suggest a piece of equipment that could handle both inside and outside work. Same goes for a Generator, knowing everything that requires power will allow for the appropriate unit being selected for the job.

Tip #2: Get trained.

Use equipment you are familiar with, and if you are not familiar, get training. Using a piece of equipment you aren’t familiar with could lead to downtime while the operator tries to “figure it out”. Training would eliminate any service calls due to operator error as well as costly downtime.

Tip #3: Place the order ASAP.

When renting equipment, it is always best to place the order as early as possible. Placing an order as soon as possible ensures you get the specific equipment requested. An order placed early will also ensure you get the delivery date and time requested for. Last minute orders are often given earliest delivery dates but are often not ideal for a customer. The earlier the order is placed, the easier it is to get desired equipment and delivery dates.

Tip #4: Keep the rental unit secure.

Excessive damage to a rental unit is chargeable. Many times, it's another company on the job-site who just “needed it for a second”. Regardless of how the damage was done, the company who had rented the unit is responsible. Not only is damage a concern for unsecured units but also untrained operators. It would be the renter’s responsibility to ensure no unauthorized operators can get in and operate the unit.

Tip #5: Stay connected.

Keep in contact with the rental company the unit came from. Whether there’s a problem mechanically with the unit, if it's the wrong unit, or even if the job is done early. A malfunctioning unit shouldn’t be operated due to safety concerns, also, forgetting to call a unit off rent can lead to charges for the unit when it isn’t being used.

Whether you require generators, aerial work platforms or forklift rentals in Rochester and Niagara Falls NY, R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. provides sales, rentals, repairs, and maintenance of equipment as well as safety training to operators. With the most up-to-date machinery and training, we offer the best generators, aerial work platforms, and forklift rentals in Rochester and Niagara Falls, NY.

Commonly Used Equipment Rental Industry Terms

Mon, 20 Aug 2018 05:53:11 GMT

Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific industry, and the rental equipment business is no exception.

To help you understand the terms, acronyms, and phrases regularly used in the equipment rental business, we’ve created this handy reference guide. Here you’ll find valuable information allowing you to comprehend and communicate your equipment rental needs.

OSHA. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This organization works to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses and, death by issuing and enforcing standards for workplace safety and health.

ANSI. American National Standards Institute is an organization that manages a voluntary standardization system for US companies since 1918.

A.W.P. Aerial Work Platform. Although regulations have changed what the proper name is, Aerial Work Platforms or AWP is still used across the industry to describe scissor lifts, boom lifts, and personnel lifts.

M.E.W.P. Mobile Elevated Work Platform is the new regulation proper term used when talking about aerial lifts. The change is designed to allow the regulations to be the same globally.

Lull is a slang term for a Telehandler . Although it was once a brand, the name had made such an impact that customers still ask for a Lull when ordering a Telehandler. A telehandler is a forklift with a boom allowing the user to move loads that are generally unreachable for a conventional forklift.

Genny. The shorter version of the word generator. Often customers use the shorthand term when placing an order to get the point across quickly. Without being aware this term is used, people may become confused.

Put-Put. Another informal way to describe a small easily moved generator. Customers also use this term when placing orders.

How R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. Helps Clients Tackle Equipment Rentals

Wed, 02 May 2018 05:49:06 GMT

In our line of work, clients often ask for specific machinery for a particular job. However, the job site where this machinery is required is not conducive for optimum use of that machine. In situations like these, contractors are unsure about what needs to be done and face an anxious wait for a solution which leads to a buildup of stress and frustration.

R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. believes that the best way to mitigate the stress over equipment rental is to be prepared. To help you be ready, we provide you with all the information, training and assistance required to make informed decisions about your rentals.

Keep reading to learn about how we help clients who rent equipment at job sites.

The Challenge: Finding machinery that suits the job site.

R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. specializes in renting equipment to contractors. Every case we are involved in requires a vast knowledge of equipment. This allows our team to help the end user when faced with making equipment rental decisions. These decisions are necessary to keep job site productivity up.

However, when a client isn’t familiar with the equipment, they aren’t sure what its capabilities are or even what type of equipment would work best. Clients also only want to make two calls to us - the first to order the equipment, and the second is to call say the job is finished and the unit isn’t needed anymore.

Unfortunately, every job is as different as every job site, and sometimes renting a single machine may be more beneficial than renting three separate ones. The problem is figuring out which machinery best suits each job site. This is an essential part of renting the right equipment and if not done accurately, could lead to an expensive mistake.

The Solution: Inspecting the job site.

To help negate the possibility of renting the wrong equipment, a representative from R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. will go to the job site to determine what type of equipment would work best. The representative will also meet with the general contractor to discuss future needs to determine if only one specific piece of equipment would be sufficient for the job.

Based on this meeting and inspection, our representative suggests the machine that will best suit the client’s requirements.

During our inspections, we find that job sites are always changing and are very rarely occupied by only one type of contractor. Although a piece of equipment is believed to be perfect for the job, we always check-in with the client to ensure they’re still happy with their decision. If not, we’re happy to suggest changes to keep productivity going.

Once the inspection is carried out, the decision process to finalize what is required could take a day or two depending on each case. Irrespective of your requirements and decisions, we are always there for our clients and assist them from the beginning through to completion.

The Bottom Line

Whether you require generators, aerial work platforms or forklift rentals in Rochester Niagara Falls NY, R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. provides sales, rentals, repairs, and maintenance of equipment as well as safety training to operators. To get started, get in touch with us by clicking here .

How The New ANSI Standards Could Affect You

Tue, 03 Apr 2018 05:47:03 GMT

New standards for boom and scissor-type lifts, and manually propelled aerials are in the process of being implemented by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards will have significant implications for the construction, equipment rental, and equipment sales industries.

The new ANSI standards will be subject specific that are related to design (ANSI A92.20), safe usage (A92.22) and enhanced training (A92.24). While manufacturers will be required to supply compliant machines within one year of publication of the new standards, existing machines will not be required to comply with the new standards and will remain approved for use.

Though these new ANSI/SAIA A92 standards aren’t in place yet, we believe that it’s essential that we, as an industry, start preparing for the impact it will have on rental fleets, rental customers, and operators, as everything is soon going to change.

Some of the key changes in the new ANSI A92 standards include the incorporation of ‘Platform Load Sense’ and ‘Dynamic Terrain Sensing in Booms.’ There is also scope for the manufacture of ‘Indoor-Only Machines’ that are not subject to wind loads, allowing for the creation of smaller and lighter aerials. There are also several changes in terminology that is used.

The biggest impact it will have on the current market is that the industry will now have to spend more time on safe operation practices as well as training its staff and operators. As with any change in rules and regulations, there will be a period of retraining which takes time but is essential.

The implementation of these new standards will definitely lower the number of injuries and fatalities related to the operation of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (M.E.W.P.), formerly known as Aerial Work Platforms.

As experts in the industry, R.B. U’Ren Equipment Inc. will be able to train operators once the rules and regulations are finalized. If you have any questions about the new ANSI standards or equipment rentals, please contact us by clicking here . To learn more about what we do, please click here .

Things to Avoid When Renting Equipment

Tue, 16 Jan 2018 05:37:12 GMT

For any business, having the right equipment is a prerequisite. However, instead of shelling out large sums of cash to buy equipment you do not need often, consider renting only what you need for the time required. The equipment rental industry has grown into a massive business that provides machinery, equipment, and tools of all kinds and sizes, making it very likely for you to find what you need, without purchasing an expensive piece of equipment.

Due to the numerous advantages that renting equipment has, it can easily act as a catalyst in ensuring that your profits soar. However, as the renting industry is relatively nascent, people tend to commit several errors while renting equipment that has the potential to cost them big.

To help you steer clear of any errors that may even hinder the success of your project, we have made a list of things you should avoid when renting equipment.

1. Placing an order without having the knowledge about equipment . Companies often have people who work in the office place a rental order. These individuals have in fact never been to a job-site or seen the actual equipment in question. Rental orders like these make it difficult for the rental coordinator to ensure the right equipment for the job is rented. A funny, yet costly example would be a piece of equipment arriving at a job-site and not fitting through any of the doors.

2. Not knowing about the job site before placing an order . Many times, when a rental order is placed the job-site hasn't even been seen. Knowing the job-site allows the renter to know about any special safety requirements or the possibility of needing specialized equipment. An example would be a festival with a complicated layout of tents all needing power. Knowing the job-site would allow you to answer questions such as how much cable is needed to reach every tent.

3. Renting equipment you are not familiar with . It can be very dangerous and a costly mistake to rent equipment you are unfamiliar with. Not only are injuries and accidents possible, but property damage is also a concern. This is why operator training is always recommended. Training can help operators not just understand how a rental unit may work but also makes them aware of rules and regulations associated with that type of unit. It also enhances their ability to detect and avoid hazards that could be dangerous.

To get the best equipment and safety training services, reach out to R.B. U'Ren Equipment Inc. We provide a one-stop shop for all equipment needs. We also offer customers the opportunity to bring their equipment in for repairs, as well as scheduled maintenance. To browse through images of equipment we have, please click here .

A Five-Point Checklist to Help You Hire the Right Equipment Rental Company

Wed, 25 Oct 2017 05:34:18 GMT

You have a huge project lined up and require a ton of new equipment, but apart from buying what you need, is there any other option? Yes, there is! Rather than spending a large amount of money on buying new equipment, you could rent it. By renting, you can easily give the slip to maintenance and operating costs, insurance as well as other fees such as government licensing.

Equipment rental, also called plant hire, is a service industry providing machinery, equipment, and tools of all kinds and sizes. In addition to rentals, equipment rental companies also provide sales, repairs, maintenance, and safety training. Moreover, rental professionals advise and provide training for general and specialized tools and equipment.

If you’re in the market for equipment on hire, here’s a list of the top five things to look for when hiring an equipment rental company.

1. Experience.

When it comes to the construction industry, there are many things at stake and one mistake can cost you big which is why you should hire a company that has an extensive experience in operating equipment. An experienced equipment rental company will also be in better position to recognize potential mistakes that can derail your project.

2. Education.

Not many of us know that dealing with equipment requires formal education. Having a certificate in an area related to business is mandatory as knowledge of the industry and every piece of equipment is crucial while working on a construction project.

3. Customer Service.

If you’re renting equipment to complete a project, it’s likely you’ll have questions or concerns that could come up at any time. Hire a company who not only has the right equipment, but also the right attitude. An equipment rental company should provide professional customer service and be available to answer questions or provide assistance in a timely, efficient manner.

4. Ability to provide training.

With constant innovations in equipment, safety protocol, and operating procedures, hire a company that provides training to customers. While you may have general knowledge about how a piece of equipment works, different makes and models could have small differences in the way they operate best. In addition, you'll get a refresher on safety and operations, ensuring you get the most of your equipment rental.

5. Adaptability.

Every construction project is unique in its own way and will come up with new challenges as the work progresses. Ensure your prospective rental company is willing to adjust to what the situation demands.
