Why Renting Helps Scrap Operations
A strong rental plan protects uptime when volume spikes or a unit goes down. It also lets you test a model in your yard before you buy. You can adjust fleet size by season, project, or contract so you control cost and stay productive.
Safety and throughput go together. Use guarded cabs, good visibility, and quick service to reduce risk and delays.
- Cabs with guarding and cameras that improve sight lines near piles and trucks.
- Fire-risk checks, spill kits, and clean fueling areas that protect crews and machines.
- Daily inspections and fast planned maintenance to keep iron in the pile and not in the shop.
