Today we’ll discuss five essential tips for working with rented equipment to help you ensure the successful and safe completion of your project.
Pre-Rental Considerations
Before renting equipment, it is crucial to evaluate your job site and determine the specific requirements for your project.

We have extensive knowledge and experience and can guide you in selecting the most suitable machinery, ensuring you have the right tools for the job.
Safety & Training
Safety should always be a top priority when working with equipment. It is essential to adhere to safety guidelines and regulations to prevent accidents and injuries. Before operating any machinery, make sure operators are properly qualified. Remember, a well-trained operator is key to maximising productivity and minimising risks.
Consider Transport
Transporting heavy equipment can be a challenging task. Fortunately, we can handle these logistics for you. We offer convenient delivery and pickup services, ensuring your equipment arrives at the job site on time and is returned hassle-free. Additionally, if you have multiple job sites or need to relocate equipment during a project, we at Kelm Hire can help you shift machinery from one site to another. This saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on completing your project without worrying about transport.
Equipment Inspection, Documentation, and Maintenance
Before commencing work, it’s critical to ensure your equipment is in proper working condition. We take pride in maintaining our equipment to the highest standards. We will rigorously test and service the machinery regularly to ensure reliability and safety. However, it is still essential for you to conduct your own inspection and report any concerns promptly. We can provide comprehensive documentation for their equipment, including manuals and maintenance records, which you can familiarise yourself with to maximise the equipment’s efficiency and longevity.
