Truck-Mounted Aerial Platforms: Rent or Buy?

Truck-Mounted Aerial Platforms: Rent or Buy?

Industrial companies often face the need for truck mounted aerial platforms. Hundreds of urban projects and various works on the outskirts are implemented daily to provide people with new facilities, houses, energy, infrastructure. The modern scale of work cannot be satisfied with scaffolding anymore. Efficient, reliable and cost-effective results are achieved through the use of truck mounted aerial platforms which allow to reach extreme heights, utility lines above the ground, lift workers up to hard-to access areas, get to a jobsite independently simplifying and reducing costs of logistics.

The functionality of boom lifts is highly diverse. These machines are made use of almost in any industry today. But does it make sense to buy expensive aerial platforms even for regular use?

What circumstances and requirements are to be considered when deciding between buying and renting a boom lift?

Purchase Vs Rent

If you think you can save money on buying a used aerial platform, you will probably be disappointed soon. Maintenance, repair and storage of used aerial platforms are sufficient expenditures for any business. If you want to save money and avoid additional routine tasks related to maintaining the fleet of heavy machines, consider the option of rental that can improve the financial management of your company and prove to be a reasonable investment.

Here we will name the main reasons why boom lift rental is a preferred option for a business on budget compared to purchase of used or new equipment:

  • You do not face the problem of depreciation of purchased boom lifts and the loss in their value simply because you haven’t bought any.
  • Instead you enjoy the latest technologies and reliable machines from the leading manufacturers – regularly upgraded, properly maintained and treated with care.
  • You do not have a headache caused by the problem of storing heavy equipment on your own territory. Heavy machines have long periods of idling and occupy much space which can be a problem for many companies. When you rent boom lifts, it’s out of your concern.
  • Usage of rented aerial platforms is more flexible. You rent some when your business is booming and return them back to the provider in the period of a low phase.
  • The funds, which could be spent on maintenance and repair of heavy machines, can be invested more wisely into the development of your business.
  • You do not have to invest money into training of personnel who will operate those heavy aerial platforms. Instead you hire specialists from the provider of boom lifts for the required period of time – hours, days or maybe a week.

The decision between to purchase or to rent is rather serious for any company as the one that assumes sufficient investment. It’s especially costly if you wish to but a brand-new aerial platform. At the same time, buying a used machine does not guarantee any saving, because it often bears some unexpected risks.
