While there may be typically a case for getting dewatering pumps and related equipment outright, renting presents so many advantages that it should all the time 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 powerful shift in direction of the rental model. “We started up simply seven years ago and, since then, we’ve needed to repeatedly add pumps to our fleet to satisfy ever rising demand from a spread of industries, most especially mining and building,” he states.
“We now have greater than 200 pumps in our rental fleet, in a position to handle almost any pumping process. Our line-up consists of submersible drainage and dewatering pumps, slurry and sludge pumps and diesel-driven pumps. เกจวัดแรงกด supply dredging systems and hydro mining options.”
Vine believes that one of many prime advantages of renting is that it eliminates the necessity for upfront capital expenditure, which – depending on the type of gear that is required – can be considerable. “Many companies – significantly if they’re start-ups or are experiencing robust buying and selling conditions – merely can’t afford to make this type of financial commitment,” he says. “If that is the case, rental is the ideal resolution.”
He factors out that purchasing does not make business sense if the equipment required is only used on an intermittent basis. “If you’re going to purchase pumps, for example, then you have to get the utmost utilisation out of them. If you solely have an occasional want for pumping, then I would strongly suggest renting. It is madness to purchase costly gear and then go away it standing for long intervals.”
Ownership additionally brings with it the problems of maintenance. “Pumps have to be maintained and this usually signifies that people with the required competence must be permanently employed to undertake this task,” he says. “When you rent from IPR, we offer this service. Our skilled and skilled technicians undertake all servicing and maintenance on web site on a 24/7 basis. We additionally, after all, ensure that machines are in tip-top condition earlier than being sent out to customers.”
When it comes to pumping, there is no such factor as ‘one size matches all’ and Vine says that is another compelling cause to rent rather than buy. “IPR can draw from its extraordinarily wide selection of pumps and different gear to offer options which might be exactly tailor-made to the customer’s needs. By distinction, we regularly discover that firms that elect to purchase their very own gear find yourself using pumps which are completely unsuited to the task at hand. They are using them because that’s all they’ve out there.”
By renting from IPR, clients additionally get the good factor about the latest technology. “Obviously, not each unit in our fleet would be the very latest mannequin however, generally, our inventory consists of new or relatively new machines offering – amongst different issues – glorious fuel effectivity,” says Vine. “Customers can relaxation assured that we will by no means provide out-of-date equipment that’s no longer match for purpose.”
While rental is the spine of IPR’s enterprise, the corporate additionally sells pumps and different tools. It is the only agent in southern Africa for the well-established Atlas Copco diesel-driven pump sets as nicely as the Atlas Copco vary of submersible pumps.
As Vine comments, “We’re actually not saying that prospects ought to all the time lease. Under the best circumstances, direct possession of belongings corresponding to pumps could be one of the best path to follow. We recognise this, which is why we are geared to both hire or promote.”
IPR is based in modern premises in Jet Park, Johannesburg, the place it has a well-equipped engineering workshop which allows it to supply fully customised pumping and dredging solutions to ISO 9001 requirements.
