5 Struggles That Contractors Need Solved ASAP
A day in the life of a contractor is never easy. Even with the best-laid plans, you never really know what a jobsite can throw at you.
That being said, it’s important to stay in control of the things you can. To keep contractors – and the projects they work on – moving forward, here’s some advice from Southwestern Ontario’s equipment experts at Bercon Rentals.
Equipment Downtime
There’s nothing worse than showing up to a job site only to have your crew standing around because the equipment failed. Whether it’s a forklift that won’t start or a lift that’s stuck mid-operation, downtime equals lost time – and lost time equals lost money. Waiting days for repairs or replacements just isn’t an option when your schedule is already packed.
At Bercon Rentals, we’ve built our reputation on reliable equipment rentals that are some of the newest in the industry. Not only is our fleet regularly serviced to minimize breakdowns, but if something does go wrong, we’re on it with our always-on-the-go road service team.
Not Enough Specialized Equipment
You’ve got a project that calls for something unique — maybe a boom lift for a high-reach install, a mini crane for a tight-access building or a 16,000-lb telehandler for some serious lifting. But buying specialized gear isn’t always practical, especially when you only need it for a few days or weeks.
That’s where Bercon always pulls through. We carry a wide range of popular and specialized pieces of equipment, and we’re always growing to ensure the pieces you need are available when you need it.
Not sure exactly what you need? Our experienced team can walk you through the options and recommend the best solution. Renting gives you access to the latest equipment without the cost or hassle of ownership.
Tight Project Timelines
You can’t afford to wait around for equipment deliveries that arrive late or not at all. Even a short delay can ripple through your entire schedule, and negatively impact dozens or hundreds of people, all the while your client is breathing down your neck.
Bercon Rentals is built around the idea of on-time delivery.
We know how valuable your time is, so we make it a priority to show up exactly when we say we will. Need equipment early in the morning? We’ll be there. How about something on the weekend? No problem. We’re flexible because we know your schedule doesn’t follow a 9-to-5. When contractors choose Bercon for equipment rentals, you’re not just renting equipment — you’re gaining a partner.
Job Site Safety Concerns
Faulty or old equipment can put your entire crew at risk. Injuries, fines, and shutdowns are all too real — and they don’t just cost money; they can damage your reputation.
Safety is non-negotiable with Bercon Rentals. Every piece of equipment undergoes regular maintenance and safety inspections, and we provide thorough safety training on every piece of equipment we rent or sell.
Budget Constraints
Between labour, supplies and fuel, your budget is always tight. Buying every piece of equipment you might need is not only expensive, but simply not an option. Tying up valuable cash in aging machines that sit unused most of the year just doesn’t make sense for most contractors.
Bercon Rentals gets it. By renting only what you need, when you need it, you free up funds for other critical parts of your business. We offer competitive pricing, fast quotes and flexible rental periods that keep you in control of your budget.
