When renting equipment for construction work
The most common mistakes when renting equipment for construction sites – And how to avoid them!
Equipment rental is a strategic practice in modern civil construction. It allows access to up-to-date solutions, reduced acquisition and storage costs, and more flexibility to meet the needs of the project. However, some common mistakes compromise the benefits of rental and can negatively impact project performance.
Main Mistakes in Equipment Rental
1. Lack of adequate planning
Firstly, the absence of a detailed schedule and a correct assessment of needs leads to the hiring of unnecessary or insufficient equipment, causing delays and rework.
2. Choosing suppliers without technical criteria
Moreover, choosing companies that do not offer technical support or deliver equipment that does not meet standards can compromise the safety of the team and the quality of the work.
3. Ignoring the condition of the equipment
In addition, damaged equipment or equipment with uncertain maintenance schedules poses a risk to the construction site and to workers.
4. Lack of knowledge of contractual clauses
As a result, issues such as rental period, responsibility for maintenance, transportation and return must be understood from the beginning to avoid extra costs and conflicts.
5. Lack of technical monitoring on site
Consequently, incorrect use of equipment or incorrect assembly can lead to accidents or low productivity.
