While there could be sometimes a case for purchasing dewatering pumps and associated equipment outright, renting presents so many advantages that it should all the time 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 in direction of the rental model. “We began up just seven years in the past and, since then, we’ve needed to constantly add pumps to our fleet to meet ever growing demand from a variety of industries, most particularly mining and building,” he states.
“We now have greater than 200 pumps in our rental fleet, capable of deal with almost any pumping task. Our line-up contains submersible drainage and dewatering pumps, slurry and sludge pumps and diesel-driven pumps. We also offer dredging systems and hydro mining solutions.”
Vine believes that one of the prime advantages of renting is that it eliminates the necessity for upfront capital expenditure, which – relying on the sort of equipment that is required – can be appreciable. “Many corporations – particularly if they’re start-ups or are experiencing powerful trading conditions – simply can not afford to make this sort of monetary commitment,” he says. “If this is the case, rental is the ideal resolution.”
He points out that buying doesn’t make enterprise sense if the tools required is only used on an intermittent basis. “If you’re going to purchase pumps, for example, then you should get the utmost utilisation out of them. If you only have an occasional need for pumping, then I would strongly suggest renting. It is madness to buy expensive tools after which depart it standing for long intervals.”
Ownership additionally brings with it the problems of upkeep. “Pumps must be maintained and this usually implies that people with the required competence must be completely employed to undertake this activity,” he says. “When you hire from IPR, we provide this service. Our expert and experienced technicians undertake all servicing and maintenance on site on a 24/7 foundation. pressure gauge 2.5 นิ้ว , of course, be sure that machines are in tip-top situation earlier than being despatched out to customers.”
When it involves pumping, there is no such thing as ‘one dimension matches all’ and Vine says that is one other compelling reason to hire quite than buy. “IPR can draw from its extremely wide selection of pumps and other gear to provide solutions that are precisely tailored to the customer’s wants. By distinction, we regularly discover that companies that elect to buy their very own gear find yourself using pumps which are totally unsuited to the task at hand. They are using them because that is all they have obtainable.”
By renting from IPR, prospects also get the advantage of the latest expertise. “Obviously, not every unit in our fleet will be the very latest model but, typically, our stock consists of new or comparatively new machines providing – amongst different issues – excellent fuel effectivity,” says Vine. “Customers can rest assured that we are going to by no means provide out-of-date equipment that’s no longer match for purpose.”
While rental is the backbone of IPR’s enterprise, the corporate additionally sells pumps and other tools. It is the only agent in southern Africa for the well-established Atlas Copco diesel-driven pump sets as properly as the Atlas Copco vary of submersible pumps.
As Vine comments, “We’re definitely not saying that customers should always rent. Under the proper circumstances, direct possession of assets similar to pumps could be the best path to observe. We recognise this, which is why we are geared to either lease or promote.”
IPR is predicated in trendy premises in Jet Park, Johannesburg, the place it has a well-equipped engineering workshop which permits it to supply fully customised pumping and dredging solutions to ISO 9001 standards.
