While there’s sometimes a case for getting dewatering pumps and associated gear outright, renting presents so many advantages that it should at all times be given close 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 began up just seven years ago and, since then, we’ve had to repeatedly add pumps to our fleet to fulfill ever growing demand from a range of industries, most especially mining and construction,” he states.
“We now have more than 200 pumps in our rental fleet, able to handle almost any pumping task. Our line-up contains submersible drainage and dewatering pumps, slurry and sludge pumps and diesel-driven pumps. We also provide dredging methods and hydro mining solutions.”
Vine believes that one of many prime benefits of renting is that it eliminates the need for upfront capital expenditure, which – depending on the kind of equipment that is required – may be considerable. “ pressure gauge octa if they are start-ups or are experiencing robust trading circumstances – merely can not afford to make this sort of monetary commitment,” he says. “If this is the case, rental is the perfect resolution.”
He factors out that purchasing does not make enterprise sense if the gear required is only used on an intermittent foundation. “If you’re going to buy pumps, for instance, then you have to get the maximum utilisation out of them. If you solely have an occasional need for pumping, then I would strongly recommend renting. It is insanity to purchase expensive tools and then depart it standing for long durations.”
Ownership also brings with it the issues of maintenance. เพรสเชอร์เกจ need to be maintained and this usually implies that individuals with the required competence have to be permanently employed to undertake this activity,” he says. “When you hire from IPR, we provide this service. Our skilled and skilled technicians undertake all servicing and upkeep on website on a 24/7 foundation. We additionally, in fact, make sure that machines are in tip-top situation earlier than being sent out to customers.”
When it involves pumping, there isn’t a such factor as ‘one size matches all’ and Vine says that is one other compelling cause to rent quite than buy. “IPR can draw from its extremely big selection of pumps and other equipment to provide solutions which might be exactly tailor-made to the customer’s needs. By contrast, we frequently notice that corporations that elect to buy their own gear find yourself using pumps that are completely unsuited to the task at hand. They are using them as a result of that’s all they’ve obtainable.”
By renting from IPR, customers additionally get the benefit of the latest technology. “Obviously, not each unit in our fleet would be the very latest model however, typically, our inventory consists of new or comparatively new machines providing – amongst other things – glorious gas effectivity,” says Vine. “Customers can rest assured that we’ll by no means provide out-of-date gear that is now not fit for objective.”
While rental is the backbone of IPR’s enterprise, the corporate also sells pumps and other gear. It is the only real agent in southern Africa for the well-established Atlas Copco diesel-driven pump sets in addition to the Atlas Copco range of submersible pumps.
As Vine feedback, “We’re certainly not saying that clients should at all times rent. Under the right circumstances, direct ownership of assets such as pumps could be the most effective path to follow. We recognise this, which is why we’re geared to either hire or sell.”
IPR is predicated in modern premises in Jet Park, Johannesburg, the place it has a well-equipped engineering workshop which permits it to supply fully customised pumping and dredging options to ISO 9001 requirements.
