1. What do you mean when you say your rental equipment is "Job Ready" when it's delivered?
"Job Ready" means your equipment is ready to perform the work you rented it for as soon as it arrives at the jobsite. We make sure each machine is fully serviced and operating to factory specs before it goes out. We also take the time to mount the attachments and supply any accessory equipment you need to finish the job. We take every possible step to make sure you get total value and productivity from your rental.
2. Why should I rent equipment instead of purchasing?
There are several good reasons – you'll have to decide which ones mean the most to you! Renting makes your job planning more flexible; you can customize your equipment fleet to each job as you need it, renting the right mix of machines to match your requirements for capacity, features, duty cycles and attachments. Renting keeps your money flexible, too, allowing you to make better use of your capital and keep your credit lines free. Lastly, renting gives you access to a highly qualified second opinion on your equipment planning. The staff at your SMS Rents store location offers a wealth of industry knowledge to help you match the tool and terms to the job at hand.
3. Who maintains and services the equipment in your rental fleet?
Each SMS Rents location has its own staff of expert, factory-trained technicians to keep its fleet in prime operating condition at all times. Our technicians are continuously updated and certified on the most current standards and technologies.
4. Do you rent any equipment other than Komatsu machines?
Yes, in addition to construction and utility equipment manufactured by Komatsu, we stock a very wide range of machines and tools from other leading brands such as Genie, Dynapac, Kubota, Multiquip, New Holland, Wacker and more. These include everything from material handling and aerial lift equipment to generators, compressors and compaction rollers as well as handheld tools from welding and cutting tools to landscaping and lighting equipment. You can see our current list for most store locations on our equipment rental page, and most locations also have their own stock of specialty items.
5. How far will you deliver rental equipment?
We deliver as far as it's practical and economical for you. That will usually depend on what type of equipment you are renting and the length of time you will need it.
6. How can I start a career in the construction equipment industry?
There is always a high demand for skilled, knowledgeable equipment technicians, operators and support staff. If you are interested in a new career or advancing your current position in the equipment industry, our Industry Links page includes an extensive list of websites that you may find helpful.
