Things to Consider While Leasing Heavy Equipment

Whether you have a short-term project on hand or need help tackling a temporary increase in your workload, you will benefit from leasing a machine instead of buying it. That’s because heavy equipment can be costly, and you might not be able to justify making a hefty investment for a temporary project.

At Chattanooga Trailer & Rentals, we want to help you invest wisely and deliver on your projects efficiently. That’s why our experts have created this guide to discuss a few things to consider when leasing heavy equipment.

Know the Full Price

Usually, different dealerships have different rental terms and conditions. You want to understand the policies of your specific dealership before making your final decision.

Some dealers ask for a security deposit when leasing heavy equipment, while others need you to make a one-time full payment. Find out how much money you need to pay at the dealership, and make sure you include fuel charges, environmental costs, and insurance coverage in the price.

Ask About Add-Ons

Most likely, you will need various attachments to boost the efficiency of your heavy machinery. Although your dealership will offer these implements, they might want you to make a one-time payment at the beginning of the lease. Ask how much these add-ons will cost, and then calculate your budget.

Book in Advance

More importantly, you want to book in advance when renting heavy equipment.

Sometimes, a given piece of equipment might not be available with your rental agency when you need it due to the high demand for it. Planning will help you determine the availability of the machine and allow your rental agency to optimize its performance before handing it over to you.
