From filling or digging, loading and raking to proper lighting to lifting, pushing and carrying; you need to rent equipment which will make the job so much easier for your workers, physically and mentally. Having the correct tool for the job makes a world of difference and if you want to keep your workers, help them out by making these following machines available to them. There are more than 7 million people that work in the construction industry. It is a massive industry which supplies many jobs nationwide. Sometimes, the turnover rate can be higher than desired because of how many construction companies there are and how readily available the jobs can be. So, make yours be the one they want to stay at.
Earthmoving equipment, which is also known as heavy equipment vehicles, are crucial to construction. There was actually a study done in 2011 that stated crawler bulldozers, crawler excavators and aerial work platforms were placed in the category of the most important products needed. Moving material to and from places becomes much easier and faster and more cost effective if a few men only have to operate the machines, rather than many men manually moving the piles to where they need to be.
Next on the list is an aerial lift. What is an aerial lift? An aerial lift also known as an elevating work platform is a mechanical vehicle that allows the workers to access areas otherwise unreachable, such as a telephone wire at a great height. If you need to rent equipment, this one is a good one to consider. Different types of aerial lifts are available. They are even made in such a way that specialist features can be added to enable work such as carrying an object up to the height needed. Of course, because most aerial lifts are mobile, this limits the amount of weight they can carry. Usually the total weight needs to be kept under a ton. However, some lifts are designed to be able to carry more.
Last on the list is the telehandler light tower. Personally, I would say this is the most important piece of equipment you will need, especially if your work needs to continue through the night. Street lamps are not enough and in some areas, there are no lights whatsoever. Working without sufficient light is very dangerous and a liability to the company. The telehandler is a machine that is used very frequently in agriculture as well as the construction industry.
There you have it. These 3 pieces of equipment will be the ones you need to focus on mostly. Ensure that your budget covers at least these when you are thinking about the need to rent equipment. Of course there are other machines available to you if you should require them but without these three, you will not be able to get much work done! The rest of the equipment serves to make a task even more enjoyable and easier to manage.
