While there may be typically a case for buying dewatering pumps and associated gear outright, renting presents so many advantages that it should at all times be given shut consideration. This is the view of Lee Vine, managing director of dewatering and dredge pump rental specialist IPR.
He says that IPR is seeing a robust shift towards the rental model. “We started up simply seven years in the past and, since then, we’ve had to constantly add pumps to our fleet to meet ever growing demand from a range of industries, most particularly mining and construction,” he states.
“We now have more than 200 pumps in our rental fleet, in a place to handle virtually any pumping process. Our line-up includes submersible drainage and dewatering pumps, slurry and sludge pumps and diesel-driven pumps. We also provide dredging techniques and hydro mining options.”
เกจ์ออกซิเจนsumo believes that one of the prime advantages of renting is that it eliminates the need for upfront capital expenditure, which – relying on the sort of equipment that’s required – can be considerable. “ เครื่องมือที่ใช้วัดความดัน if they’re start-ups or are experiencing robust buying and selling conditions – simply can’t afford to make this sort of monetary dedication,” he says. “If this is the case, rental is the perfect resolution.”
He factors out that buying does not make business sense if the gear required is simply used on an intermittent foundation. “If you’re going to purchase pumps, for example, then you have to get the maximum utilisation out of them. If you solely have an occasional want for pumping, then I would strongly advocate renting. It is insanity to purchase expensive equipment after which depart it standing for lengthy periods.”
Ownership additionally brings with it the problems of maintenance. “Pumps have to be maintained and this normally implies that people with the required competence have to be completely employed to undertake this process,” he says. “When you rent from IPR, we offer this service. Our skilled and experienced technicians undertake all servicing and maintenance on website on a 24/7 basis. We also, after all, make sure that machines are in tip-top condition earlier than being despatched out to clients.”
When it involves pumping, there is not a such factor as ‘one size suits all’ and Vine says this is another compelling reason to hire quite than buy. “IPR can draw from its extremely wide selection of pumps and other gear to offer options which are exactly tailor-made to the customer’s needs. By distinction, we regularly notice that firms that elect to buy their own equipment end up using pumps which may be completely unsuited to the task at hand. They are using them as a result of that’s all they have available.”
By renting from IPR, prospects additionally get the good factor about the newest expertise. “Obviously, not every unit in our fleet would be the very newest model however, usually, our inventory consists of new or comparatively new machines offering – amongst other issues – glorious gas effectivity,” says Vine. “Customers can rest assured that we are going to by no means provide out-of-date tools that is not fit for objective.”
While rental is the spine of IPR’s enterprise, the corporate also sells pumps and different tools. It is the only real agent in southern Africa for the well-established Atlas Copco diesel-driven pump units as properly as the Atlas Copco range of submersible pumps.
As Vine comments, “We’re definitely not saying that customers ought to at all times lease. Under the proper circumstances, direct ownership of assets such as pumps could be the most effective path to observe. We recognise this, which is why we’re geared to either lease or sell.”
IPR relies in modern premises in Jet Park, Johannesburg, where it has a well-equipped engineering workshop which allows it to provide fully customised pumping and dredging options to ISO 9001 standards.
