April 2024

2020 has been a strong year for rental equipment nationwide. The year has been full of unprecedented circumstances, and Industrial Vacuum Corporation understands the need to rent equipment over purchasing new machinery. Specifically, when it comes to construction equipment, the longevity of the equipment does not need to last beyond the duration of the construction project.

Due to the construction industry being project-based, the goal for equipment is to reach the bottom line. On this bottom-line basis, the equipment can be used for one project, and then sit for months on end until the next project requires that equipment.

Three Budget Benefits of Rental Equipment

Three of the main budget benefits of renting industrial construction equipment is the cost of storing a piece of equipment, the cost of maintaining that particular piece of equipment, and the cost of transporting that piece of equipment to and from your construction site. Let us delve a little deeper into that benefits of each of these:

Storage Costs

As stated before, with construction projects, the time of them varies based on the supply and demand of projects within areas. The cost of storing a piece of industrial equipment is pricey considering your average warehouse is not always the best place for equipment to be stored. Industrial equipment, such as industrial vacuums and industrial dust collectors, must be stored in areas that ensure the maintenance cost will remain low and no external factors in the storing area will affect the performance of the piece of machinery.

While storing may not seem like a dealbreaker, it does impact the performance of a machine and can drive up cost depending on where the storage facility is located or if it is not as well-maintained as anticipated.

Maintenance Costs

As stated above, industrial equipment continually needs to be refurbished, refined, and ultimately fixed, from time to time. Maintenance costs can sometimes be avoided if those within your construction site are equipped with the knowledge of fixing industrial equipment, otherwise more times than none, machinery is returned to the producer to refurbish the part, or parts that need to receive maintenance. This is an added cost to the construction project because the maintenance of equipment takes time and money, virtually extending the time of the construction project itself.

Beyond maintenance due to a part breaking, there is routine maintenance that must be performed on each piece of industrial equipment. To ensure compliance with OSHA and their safety standards, routine maintenance is crucial to the longevity of the machine and the safety of your workers. To avoid the added cost of fixing parts and the routine maintenance that comes with owning a piece of industrial equipment, renting is a viable option that will enhance your construction companies’ performance.

Equipment Transportation Costs

As stated above, when it comes to storing industrial equipment, the cost can be expensive, but when transporting that equipment from point A to point B, that cost continues to increase. When renting equipment from Industrial Vacuum, we provide cost-effective transportation services that get your rental equipment from point A to point B.

Transportation from point A to point B is most successful when the piece of equipment is already in pristine shape. The success of a machine in transportation and in performance is only as successful as the recurring maintenance that goes into it. We can assure you that any equipment rented from Industrial Vacuum Equipment will be in pristine condition and will assist your construction project in a successful manner.

We understand that in lieu of the current circumstances, renting is more viable for most businesses. We have been providing rental equipment to our customers for years and would gladly assist your construction project in finding the right piece of rental equipment for you. Please contact us if you have any questions, or go over to our rental equipment page to figure out what machine will get the job done.

The oil and gas industry involves different processes, from production to transportation and processing. Petroleum producers, refiners and transporters rely on oilfield equipment that is durable and provides high performance to complete their tasks at optimal efficiency. That is why removal of sludge from frac and oil tanks is a critical maintenance practice when it comes to transporting material.

The buildup of sludge can reduce oil tank capacity and have corrosive effects that damage oil tanks. Oil and gas drilling sites require powerful, dependable, and versatile industrial vacuums to effectively clean these vessels inside and out. At Industrial Vacuum, you will find a variety of solutions to remove sludge from oil tanks for your unique oil and gas cleanup needs. In this article, we will dive into what to look for when choosing an industrial vacuum to add to your oilfield services equipment lineup.

Oilfield Equipment Requirements for Oil & Gas Cleanup

• Heavy Duty: 

Industrial strength vacuum cleaners are necessary when dealing with oil sludge. Our Hurricane™ models are some of the most powerful vacuum systems available ranging from 25 hp to 500 hp and from 500 CFM to 5660 CFM.

• Portable

Trailer mounted vacuum loaders offer a compact design and maneuverability to pull to different job sites- no CDL driver required! Our skid mounted vacuums are built in a compact design to fit into a standard shipping container.

• Versatile

When selecting oilfield equipment for oil and gas cleanup, look for an industrial vacuum that can vacuum both wet and dry material. Equipment that can automatically discharge material, such as frac sand, into a dump truck, dumpster, or container offers quick and easy disposal.

• Cost effective

Industrial vacuums provide great versatility and power at the fraction of the cost of a vacuum truck. If you are looking for oilfield rental equipment, Industrial Vacuum offers vacuum rentals that are completely serviced and ready for immediate delivery to your job site.

Whether you are looking to add an industrial vacuum to your oilfield services equipment lineup or looking for oilfield rental equipment to clean your frac and oil tanks, our experts at Industrial Vacuum can help you find a solution for your oil and gas cleanup needs. Contact us today for more information!

The top 10 reasons to rent industrial equipment

1. Decrease Expenses

When it comes to equipment, especially large industrial-grade equipment, it can be an expensive capital cost to profit the same year after purchasing equipment. Upon purchasing an industrial machine, your company’s money becomes tied to that machine, resulting in a profit based on the longevity of the machine itself. When renting a piece of equipment, there is a charge up-front, but it results in no money ties, and a profit gain consistently.

With this decrease initially, renting a piece of equipment will also decrease the long-run expenses that come with maintaining an industrial machine. Machines need regular service, operation, and routine checks to ensure their performance, and ability to keep up with their required application use. You can typically gauge the expenses of services on a machine, resulting in the overall success of renting a piece of industrial equipment.

2. Avoid Transportation & Storage Costs

Storing a piece of equipment is an expensive endeavor. To ensure the piece of equipment is not exposed to sun damage, winds carrying rain, or even driving rain damage, you would need proper storage or transportation equipment. Storage and transportation equipment can be another added expensed to purchasing a piece of equipment. We ensure a piece of equipment is at its desired location at the correct time, saving you time and efficiency with completing your project at hand.

3. Save on Tax Time

Typically, purchased equipment is going to be taxed throughout its lifetime, while rental equipment is a deductible expense. These rental expenses are much more financially flexible than the expense of purchasing a piece of equipment. Sometimes, companies can gain a project expense from renting a piece of industrial equipment.

4. Maintain a Strong Bank Image

The internal revenue service is known for looking at rental equipment in an extremely different way than owned industrial equipment. When companies think about bank balance sheets, they understand that owned assets are looked at as a liability, while rental equipment, not belong to the company directly, is not considered an asset. In turn, rental equipment will ensure your company maintains a strong bank image.

5. Ensure Equipment Performance

In varying applications, such as construction, a piece of industrial equipment will be required to begin the construction process. When renting a machine from Industrial Vacuum Equipment, you can ensure it will not stall during use, and it will arrive on time saving your project time and money. Rental equipment will ensure performance while in use and will be dropped off and picked up when requested by your company. Your company can trust our word on the success of our equipment because of the extensive service we provide to our rental equipment.

6. Maintain New Opportunities

Renting industrial equipment allows for an increased business opportunity without the cost of maintaining, storing, and initially purchasing the industrial equipment. Once your company rents a piece of industrial equipment, you will understand the economic benefits, and this can lead to new opportunities and projects that you did not consider before. Whether you are mining and need an industrial dust collector, or need a hurricane roof rock removal vacuum, we can cater our machines to your application needs.

7. Ensure Competitive Nature

We understand it can be difficult to match up to your competition, especially when they are consistently pushing the limits with new industrial equipment. To sharpen your competitive edge, renting will allow you to successfully provide the same equipment as your competition for a cheaper value. You can request rental equipment, while understanding we provide a diverse range that aligns with the bigger companies.

8. Gain Flexibility with Equipment

If your company chooses to purchase a piece of industrial equipment, you will be tied down to what that machine is capable of accomplishing. When renting a piece of industrial equipment, you are now entering a realm of possibilities. One day you could be using one of our hurricane industrial vacuums for roof rock removal, and the next day you could be using our dust collectors at your construction site. While these are only two options for application use, our various nozzles, hoses, and other application features can enhance our equipment in varying industries.

9. Preview Equipment Prior to Purchase

We understand the hesitation of wanting to purchase a piece of industrial equipment. This hesitation comes with not understating if its capability is right for your project needs. Renting a piece of equipment will give you insight into how successful your purchased equipment will perform when conducting your projects. Give yourself more insight into how equipment performance will work on your projects by renting that piece of equipment from us at Industrial Vacuum Equipment.

10. Gain Maintenance Hours

Equipment requires an immense amount of managing due to its routine fluid checks, service, schedules, testing, and routine maintenance. Without needing to maintain a piece of equipment, you will gain these hours back to use on projects, scheduling of future projects, and various other needs within your facility. Give yourself more flexibility by renting a piece of equipment today.
