Rental program for Australian electrical contractors

LAPP Australia has launched a rental program for its electrical contractor customers.

LAPP said its new service, offering per-day or longer rentals, opens up easier access for small and medium businesses to world-class brands of test, measurement and other technologies needed to do the best job on particular projects — without the financial commitment of having to purchase the specialised solutions involved.

LAPP Australia Managing Director Simon Pullinger said the rental program is open nationally to existing customers or on a case-by-case basis.

“This is an initiative to immediately assist our existing smaller and medium contractor customer base throughout Australia, and to attract new customers as well longer term,” he said.

“We have designed the rental program to help electrical contractors who would like to extend their capabilities for new projects or new types of jobs, but who might find the initial investment to buy outright to be a strain on cash flow.

“By having the freedom to rent, they maintain the strength of their existing cash flow while being able to leverage up their business opportunities for particular jobs or particular types of jobs.”

Pullinger said the program — backed by LAPP Australia’s national service and supply network — delivers meticulously maintained equipment at no capital cost to the renter. Items covered by the program include:

• Test and measurement technologies, including Fluke thermal imaging cameras and Fluke power quality and energy analysers.
• Cable handling technologies, including fibre termination kits for cost-efficient and reliable installation, as well as cable rollers, hydraulic jacks and cable trailers.
• Cable marking solutions, for installation accuracy and ongoing easy identification and safety.
• Site power solutions extending from small portable generators to power distribution boxes and cables.
• Communications equipment, including local onsite communications, remote access VPNs and test equipment for communications networks onsite.
• Site tools, including a range of hand-operated tools for common applications in stripping, screwing, crimping, cutting and testing.
   

Pullinger said the rental technologies would provide flexibility in equipment selection to enable use of the best tools for particular jobs.

“Where you need a special tool for a special application, or a quick replacement for equipment that is under repair or maintenance, why pay thousands of dollars on equipment when you can rent it?”

The inventory of rental equipment — selected by company experts working continuously on a large variety of cable, control and automation projects — is backed by technical and management services including logistics, quality assurance and design engineering as required.
