Heavy equipment is often prohibitively expensive to purchase outright. For some companies purchasing excavators and other equipment will pay off in the long run if it is used often enough. However, for individuals or smaller companies that only need the occasional use of an excavator this simply doesn’t make sense. Instead, consider an Excavator Rental in York PA.
Excavators are versatile machines. They can be used in landscaping to dig trenches and holes, cut brush, and perform grading jobs. Construction workers use them to dig foundations. Demolition crews use them to tear these same buildings down when they’ve outlived their usefulness. They can be used to dredge rivers, drill shafts, and plow snow. Many companies find that the variety of jobs made easier by owning their own excavators make it worth paying the often steep purchase price, but this is not always the case.
When deciding whether to rent or purchase new equipment, cost effectiveness is the bottom line for most companies. Purchasing a brand new model can run the budget into the ground, and buying used comes with no guarantees that the equipment will last. In addition to the initial purchase price the costs associated with regular maintenance, necessary repairs, indoor storage during the off season, and fuel all come into play as well. If it will be used on a daily basis for large scale well paying jobs, these associated costs will be lower in the long run than a daily rental. If one job has come up requiring the use of an excavator, but there is nothing lined up for the foreseeable future, go ahead and rent.
Another issue to consider when looking into an Excavator Rental in York PA is the duration of the job in question. Long term rentals are often still more economically feasible than outright purchase, but if it seems likely that extended use will be required it makes more sense to buy a new excavator in the beginning of the project than to pay for a rental through the first half only to decide to purchase once half the work is already done. Whether it makes more sense to rent or to buy, Slaymaker Rental & Supply offers heavy equipment for any job.
