Advantages of Skidsteer Rentals

Jul 8, 2020

Skidsteer loaders are the most versatile rental construction equipment The name skidsteer comes from a unique steering feature that allows them to turn 360 degrees within their length. This ability gives them the advantage of maneuvering in tight spaces. Skidsteer loaders don’t have a front set of wheels that guide the wheels at the back. This results in one side of the loader turning faster than the other side, causing it to skid.
 
A skidsteer loader is an engine-powered machine with lifters, in which multiple tools can be attached according to your purpose. Many construction projects use skidsteer loaders due to their versatility. The wheeled model comes with a hydraulic motor that provides power to the wheels or tracks. Skidsteer loaders are used for a variety of functions including demolition, excavation, grading, drilling, material handling and utility work. Large skidsteer loaders are also used in applications such as mining, construction and agriculture. Equipment North Inc. provides top-quality skidsteer rental equipment and services. We've been serving clients in Sudbury and Timmins for over 30 years.
 
Benefits of Skidsteer Rentals for Your Project
 
Here are some of the benefits of renting a skidsteer loader for your construction project:
 
1. Less Maintenance and Repair Costs
If you own a piece of equipment, you have to consider the maintenance and repair costs. With rental equipment, you don’t have to worry about maintenance and repair costs. Leasing equipment for a shorter time will eliminate the extra burden that buying heavy machinery presents.
 
2. Lower Risks
If you are considering new business opportunities, renting can help free up valuable capital. You won’t be stuck with the equipment in case things don’t work out in your favour. Buying a skidsteer loader is expensive whereas renting is affordable. You don’t have to think about unpredictable expenses due to repairs or maintenance with renting.
 
3. Skidsteer Testing
You can try out different types of skidsteers for varying durations of time before making a purchase. Trying a skidsteer loader out by renting it allows you to check how it works on your construction site.
 
4. Replace Damaged Skid Steer Loader
When a skidsteer breaks down on a construction site, you might need a replacement to keep the project going. One of the most common reasons to rent construction equipment is to replace damaged equipment quickly. Rental construction equipment is well maintained, which makes your job easier.
 
5. Specialized Skid Steer Loader for a Short Term Job
Some projects need specialized equipment such as a mini skidsteer or a skidsteer loader. Renting equipment can be a smart option for such projects. Instead of paying for resources and improvements on infrequently used equipment, renting helps you cut out the additional costs of storage and insurance.
 
Advantages of Renting Construction Equipment
 
It’s best to consider renting the machine before buying it to make your pre-purchase evaluations. Renting has become a viable option for many construction companies as it provides the option of saving money.
