Why Hire? - 10 Good Reasons

Why buy when you can hire from Inlec?

Here are 10 good reasons..........

1. Save Time

Renting equipment can save you time. Often manufacturers have long lead times on delivery. Hiring from Inlec means you can have the item quickly, instead of having to wait for a new instrument to become available. You may then need to have it calibrated which adds a further week. Hiring allows you to take last minute jobs, as the equipment you need is readily available.

2. Try before you buy

Having a wide range of up-to-date electrical equipment available to you for short-term hire gives you the opportunity to try before you buy.You can ensure you are matching your exact technical requirements with the instrument before committing to a purchase. You are also getting the chance to sample different manufacturer’s models to determine the most suitable for the job.

3. No Maintenance costs

All our hire charges include maintenance, technical support and re-calibration costs. This means you know exactly how much a job is going to cost, making budgeting and quoting clients easier. There are no hidden costs.

4. Save Downtime

Sometimes technical equipment can break; this can often be costly, not just for the repair… it can hold up jobs. Hiring replacement equipment allows you to continue with the job whilst your own equipment is getting repaired. We will have you up and running again with the minimum loss of time, very often the next day.

5. Advances in Technology

Electrical test equipment often has a short life span due to advances in technology or changes in legislation. Hiring equipment means you are getting the most up-to-date equipment whilst avoiding the losses associated with obsolescence. We are constantly checking out the latest advances in Test Equipment to ensure you always have access to the best tool for the job.

6. No Long-term Commitment

You can hire from Inlec on a week-to-week basis. You only pay for the equipment when you have a use for it. To end the hire you simply return the item.

7. Minimise Stockholding

Buying your own equipment can be expensive, especially if equipment ends up idle for much of the time. Hiring means you only pay for what you use, when you actually need it. Hiring also eliminates the costs associated with storage.

8. Minimise your costs

Hiring from Inlec reduces the need to pay a large lump sum in one go. You can hire and pay weekly, monthly or yearly, helping you to conserve your cash and improve your cash flow. This allows you to spend only when the equipment is required, not for time it would have spent on the shelf!

For example, if you’re bidding for contracts where you’ll need test equipment, you’ll only incur that cost if you win the contract. If you don’t win the contract, your test equipment bill is zero.

9. Tax Benefits

Hire payments are a very tax efficient way of using valuable assets without the true cost of ownership. Ask your accountants, they love to hire as well!

10. Allows you to afford more

To buy all the equipment you need can be very expensive; with commercial pressures you’d often have to settle for something that just isn’t as good. Hiring allows you to use the best equipment at a fraction of the cost; using high quality equipment creates a more professional image with your client and can boost your productivity significantly.
