Shoring Equipment Rentals

Arranging Delivery or Assembly of Shoring Equipment

Delivery charges are usually extra and are added to the basic rental rate. Delivery is based on location and area of delivery.

Transportation
Responsibility for arrangement and payment for transportation of the trencher will often fall on the buyer. Many Trench Shoring companies have their own trucks for use in delivering equipment. If not, some shoring companies have established relationships with haulers, and will facilitate getting shipping quotes for you.

Geographic Area
Shoring rental company locations vary in their geographic coverage; some are local, while others are nationwide. In most cases it is better to find a rental company closer to your location so that you don't have to pay as much in transportation costs.

Maintenance
According to the terms of most rental contracts, while the equipment is in your possession, you're responsible for its proper use and security. Most rental contracts state that the equipment must be returned in the same condition you rented it, subject to ordinary wear and tear.

Generally, the rental center is responsible for maintenance and breakdowns. And the rental contract does not involve transfer of title to you.

Contract Terms
The contract begins when you leave the store with the equipment and ends when you return it.

You decide how long you will keep it, and there's no penalty for returning it sooner than you thought you would.

Liability
Your business insurance may or may not cover rented equipment. If it doesn't, you can inexpensively extend your coverage to include it.
