I have been away building new business in the DFW metroplex for Rentals at Star Tractor. I love it…Heavy Equipment has it ups and downs in this industry. We have been very bless in past year and this year with all the construction in the public and private sector. From houses to schools to highway work and much more.
Construction has not slow down at all here in Texas. I get asked by different customers do you see a down….I always saw no, because differentiation is the key in renting business. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify is spreading you’re machines to all kinds of different customers. For example, Excavation to highway work to utility to small contractors. Spread the wealth!!!!
So if you do need to rent some heavy equipment in the Dallas Fort Worth Area, Give me a call at 817-733-3799. And if i do not have it I will send you in the right direction.
Technology has made lives simpler in many ways. Right from the beginning of the day to the end of it, we are completely dependent on some or the other form of technology. It has also helped us a lot in managing our businesses. You pull out any business out of the blue and you will find the need of technology in it. It has helped us in a big way in becoming what we really are. Talking about the construction industry, the need of state of the art machines are hugely felt in this part of the sector. Moreover the heavy equipment are expensive and therefore it is presumably out of the reach of many. As long as one goes out to a lender to lend money to buy heavy equipment the person will be able to buy one or else he has to depend upon people who are willing to let out their machines to folks who need them for construction purpose.
Technology has played a vital role in creating a platform where the people who possess heavy equipment but do not need them for the time being can get hooked with guys who have a construction project running and are in dire need of construction machines. One can make use of this platform to meet each other’s business requirements. The party who is renting his heavy equipment needs to register on an online portal that works in the line of connecting people who wants to buy/sell/ lease heavy equipment. Once he is registered with the site, he needs to prepare a listing where he should put up pictures of the machine and give an elaborative description. This needs to be done to inform visitors about the machine and why they should take this one on rent.
The person who is listing the heavy equipment on an online portal should remember that before he registers with the portal he should also check how known it is amongst people who usually look out for renting heavy equipment. This research is important as it will give a clue to the person whether he will receive many visitors on his listing. The person will be paying some fees to the online site for listing the machine and he should ensure that he is able to rent it in the very first attempt. Spend some time on internet to know which site people prefer to go. Apart from that, what are their security policies and how effectively do they stand to protect the rights of the parties involved in the transaction.
Some online portals also have their agents who help their clients with the agreement part. It is a must to prepare an agreement before you lease out your heavy equipment. The agreement should include all the points that protect the rights of the owner of the machine. After all, you want to receive the heavy equipment in the same state as you have given it to the party.
