Benefits of Renting vs. Buying New Railroad MOW Equipment

While there might be advantages to buying new or used hi-rail equipment for your maintenance of way needs, it’s not always feasible or necessary. Renting can make it easy to get the job done without the significant up-front costs, so you can improve cash flow to maintain or grow other parts of your business.

In addition to the financial benefits, the benefits of renting vs. buying include:

Access to the Latest Technology

Investing in rail maintenance equipment means you plan to use it for years — or even decades — to come. Older machines typically don’t allow for retrofitting with the latest technology (at least without significant cost), but renting means you can get access to the latest in MOW engineering without making the full investment in a piece of equipment.

No Repair Costs

Each used machine rented by Vancer must pass strict quality standards before it’s put up for rent, so you can rest assured knowing your excavator, backhoe, wheel loader, Huddig, or specialty rail attachment will work when you need it to.

Reduce Inventory Costs

Investing in rail maintenance equipment, like hi-rail excavators, often comes with a high price tag. If you’re trying to save on overhead or perhaps you’re not ready to invest into a capital equipment purchase, the option to rent can benefit your operation for the short- or long-term work you may need to complete.  With railroad equipment rentals, you can get the machines you need for the job and simply return it when the job is done.

Test New Equipment Before Buying

Let’s face it: Spending over six-figures for equipment can be intimidating, especially if you’re not sure you’ll really need it for the long term. Renting MOW equipment allows you to “try before you buy” and use a machine before putting down the capital to invest in a machine of your own.

 

Rental Purchase Options

Not sure if you’re ready to purchase, but need to secure rail equipment for a long-term project? A rental purchase option (RPO) may be your solution. The length of your rental affects how much of the rental rate gets applied to the sale price. For all the details of how a RPO works and whether it makes sense for your business and the equipment you’re renting, contact us and we’ll guide you through the process.
