Short-term rental of construction machinery pays off especially when auxiliary equipment is needed at the construction site and when the costs of transporting the equipment from the company’s headquarters or base would be higher than the profits. It often happens that a construction company from Pomerania undertakes orders, e.g. in the mountains. If the order is not too time-consuming, companies decide to rent construction equipment in the area rather than transport it across the country. This solution is much more advantageous from an economic point of view.

Many construction companies have a problem with obtaining approval for leasing expensive construction equipment or the conditions obtained turn out to be very expensive. It is in such cases that these companies decide to rent construction machinery. It is also worth remembering that long-term rental is much cheaper than short-term rental of machines. For this reason, many entrepreneurs decide to rent the most needed equipment for long periods. Having in mind the possibility of using them on several construction sites.
