With hundreds of equipment rental businesses across the United States, competition is never in short supply. But when you’re running an Equipter rental business, you have a leg up on your competition.
With equipment specifically designed to help increase roofing contractors’ professionalism, you can easily set your rental business up for success.
Take a look at these tips for running a successful Equipter rental business.
Those who rent the Equipter are often contractors who don’t specialize in roof replacement. These hard workers expect quality equipment with flawless performance, and as a rental company owner, it’s your responsibility to provide reliable equipment to get the job done.
Some basic preventative maintenance tasks include:
We recommend the first preventative maintenance take place around 30 service hours. After that, preventative maintenance is recommended every 6 months if used consistently or every 40 hours of use if operated less often.
Quality equipment is nothing without impressive customer service. Once you’ve got your Equipter ready to rent, don’t slack on implementing quality customer service. What makes good customer service in the equipment rental industry?
Digital assets are convenient for your customers. Many Equipter rental companies have their own websites where customers can access daily, weekly, and monthly rental prices; delivery and pickup restrictions; and rental applications.
