While there is generally a case for purchasing dewatering pumps and associated equipment outright, renting offers so many benefits 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 the path of the rental model. “We started up just seven years in the past and, since then, we’ve needed to continuously add pumps to our fleet to satisfy ever rising demand from a variety of industries, most particularly mining and development,” he states.
“We now have more than 200 pumps in our rental fleet, able to deal with nearly any pumping process. Our line-up consists of submersible drainage and dewatering pumps, slurry and sludge pumps and diesel-driven pumps. We also offer dredging techniques and hydro mining options.”
Vine believes that one of the prime advantages of renting is that it eliminates the need for upfront capital expenditure, which – relying on the type of tools that’s required – can be appreciable. “Many companies – notably if they’re start-ups or are experiencing tough buying and selling situations – simply can’t afford to make this kind of monetary commitment,” he says. “If that is the case, rental is the ideal solution.”
He points out that purchasing does not make enterprise sense if the gear required is only used on an intermittent foundation. “If you’re going to purchase pumps, for instance, then you should get the utmost utilisation out of them. If you solely have an occasional need for pumping, then I would strongly recommend renting. เกจวัดแรงดันลมราคา is insanity to purchase expensive tools after which go away it standing for lengthy durations.”
Ownership also brings with it the problems of upkeep. “Pumps need to be maintained and this normally means that people with the required competence have to be permanently employed to undertake this task,” he says. “When you rent from IPR, we offer this service. Our expert and experienced technicians undertake all servicing and maintenance on site on a 24/7 basis. We additionally, after all, make certain that machines are in tip-top condition earlier than being sent out to prospects.”
When it comes to pumping, there is not any such thing as ‘one size matches all’ and Vine says this is another compelling purpose to rent rather than buy. “IPR can draw from its extraordinarily wide selection of pumps and different tools to offer options that are precisely tailor-made to the customer’s wants. By distinction, we frequently discover that corporations that elect to purchase their very own tools end up utilizing pumps which might be completely unsuited to the task at hand. They are using them because that’s all they have obtainable.”
By renting from IPR, customers additionally get the good factor about the most recent expertise. “Obviously, not each unit in our fleet will be the very newest mannequin but, usually, our inventory consists of new or relatively new machines providing – amongst different issues – wonderful gasoline efficiency,” says Vine. “Customers can relaxation assured that we will by no means provide out-of-date gear that is now not match for objective.”
While rental is the spine of IPR’s enterprise, the company also sells pumps and different tools. It is the solely real agent in southern Africa for the well-established Atlas Copco diesel-driven pump sets as nicely as the Atlas Copco range of submersible pumps.
As Vine feedback, “We’re certainly not saying that clients ought to always rent. Under the best circumstances, direct possession of property such as pumps may be the best route to follow. We recognise this, which is why we’re geared to either rent or promote.”
IPR relies in modern premises in Jet Park, Johannesburg, the place it has a well-equipped engineering workshop which allows it to supply totally customised pumping and dredging solutions to ISO 9001 requirements.
