Is it profitable to rent scaffolding?

It is difficult to imagine modern construction without such an auxiliary structure as scaffolding. Currently, they can not only be bought, but also rented. What you need to know about scaffolding rental and how not to make a mistake when choosing a landlord will be discussed in our article.

Scaffolding - indispensable equipment that is necessary when carrying out facade and many other types of work. Modern designs have almost completely replaced wooden scaffolds that were previously used at construction sites, and at the end of all work, they were disassembled and disposed of. Today they are reliable reusable designs that provide maximum reliability and convenience. They are easy to install, and after all the necessary work is completed, they are assembled and folded compactly so that they can be easily transported and stored.

Who will benefit from the rental of scaffolding

Rent of scaffolding will be beneficial primarily to those who do not plan to use these structures constantly. This category includes:

• small construction companies and finishing brigadeswhose budget does not allow to buy scaffolding as a property or for which high-altitude work is not the main activity, and scaffolding is needed to carry out some specific order;
• individual developerswho need scaffolding to perform various works (plastering, painting walls, etc.) in their own home.

Benefits of renting scaffolding

Consider the main advantages of scaffolding rental in comparison with their purchase:

• The ability to choose exactly the equipment you need at the moment.The market offers many varieties of scaffolding, which are selected depending on the type and working conditions. Owning all types of scaffolding can be afforded only by large companies with a permanent package of orders. For small firms, the best solution would be to rent a forest.
• No need for storage. Modern scaffolding is easy to disassemble and in this form is quite compact. However, if you bought scaffolding, you will certainly have to solve the problem of their storage and look for storage facilities. Rent of scaffolding removes this issue, because the storage company is the lessor.
• You choose the rental period yourself. This allows you to accurately calculate the cost of the work.
• No maintenance or repair required. These procedures, as well as the preparation of all related documentation, are the responsibility of the lessor.
• Delivery. As a rule, companies involved in renting construction equipment provide a service for the delivery of scaffolding to a construction site.
• Reduced repair costs. By renting scaffolding you pay only rent payments, not the cost of all equipment. Ultimately, this will reduce the total cost of work.

The only thing to consider when renting scaffolding, as it is the fact that the demand for this service is constantly growing, so it is better to order the necessary construction in advance. In this case, you can be 100% sure that the terms of repair or construction work will certainly not be violated.It is better to be prepared for the fact that most landlords take a certain cash deposit, which is returned at the end of the lease term. This is completely normal and should not scare decent tenants.

It is worth noting that responsible modern companies leasing scaffolding are ready to offer customers a choice of designs of different types, as well as advise which forests will be most suitable in a particular case. So, when choosing a design you need consider a number of important factors, among which the features of the geometry and configuration of the building and the timing of the work. In addition, the estimated load on them, the requirements for their height, the evenness of the surface on which they will be installed, affect the choice of scaffolding.

Many individual developers and even some experienced builders do not always know exactly what type of scaffolding will be most suitable in a particular situation. For instance, frame scaffolding are the most popular and are perfect for interior and exterior decoration work carried out on straight walls, devoid of all kinds of non-standard elements. Wedge forests - a universal design that can be used if the walls have the most unusual shape. They are also indispensable when it comes to buildings with heights up to 100 meters. Clamp forests - one of the most difficult, but they are indispensable when working with complex structures, such as arches, church domes, etc. Modular scaffolding easy to install, dismantle and transport, allow you to carry out almost all types of work. In rare cases, the use of suspended structuresthat cling to equipment attached to floors. Such forests are often used when working with visors of buildings. Mobile forests and thermos forests are less in demand, but, nevertheless, renting them out is also not difficult if it comes to specific work.

Though the landlord is responsible for the repair and proper condition of the scaffolding, for your own safety, it is better to check its reliability and durability each time before starting to use the structure, remove construction debris, leaves, snow, etc. from stairs and flooring in time. Of course, you should not exceed the permissible load, and compliance with all these simple rules becomes the key to the safety of everyone who works with rented scaffolding.

How to choose a reliable landlord

There are a lot of companies that provide scaffolding rental services, so there is a great risk of "stumbling" on an unscrupulous landlord. In order to avoid this, when choosing a partner, pay attention to the following points:

• Market presence time. The longer the company operates, the more customers it has (and, therefore, reviews), and the less risk it comes to encounter a one-day company.
• Website. As a rule, serious companies have a website where you can get acquainted with the range and pricing policy.
• Conclusion of a lease. Reliable firms do this without fail.
• Delivery. Large companies usually provide this service.
• Discounts. Serious firms provide various privileges to regular customers.
