While there’s generally a case for purchasing dewatering pumps and related gear outright, renting offers so many advantages that it should all the time be given close consideration. This is the view of Lee Vine, managing director of dewatering and dredge pump rental specialist IPR.
He says that IPR is seeing a powerful shift towards the rental model. “We began up just seven years ago and, since then, we’ve had to continuously add pumps to our fleet to meet ever rising demand from a spread of industries, most particularly mining and development,” he states.
“We now have greater than 200 pumps in our rental fleet, capable of handle nearly any pumping task. Our line-up consists of submersible drainage and dewatering pumps, slurry and sludge pumps and diesel-driven pumps. We also provide dredging systems and hydro mining solutions.”
Vine believes that one of many prime advantages of renting is that it eliminates the need for upfront capital expenditure, which – relying on the type of tools that is required – can be considerable. “Many corporations – particularly if they are start-ups or are experiencing robust buying and selling conditions – merely can’t afford to make this kind of financial dedication,” he says. “If this is the case, rental is the ideal answer.”
He factors out that buying doesn’t make enterprise sense if the tools required is simply used on an intermittent foundation. “If you’re going to buy pumps, for example, then you should get the utmost utilisation out of them. If you only have an occasional need for pumping, then I would strongly suggest renting. It is insanity to buy costly gear after which leave it standing for lengthy periods.”
Ownership additionally brings with it the issues of upkeep. “Pumps have to be maintained and this normally means that individuals with the required competence have to be completely employed to undertake this process,” he says. “When you lease from IPR, we provide this service. Our expert and experienced technicians undertake all servicing and upkeep on web site on a 24/7 foundation. We additionally, after all, ensure that machines are in tip-top condition earlier than being despatched out to clients.”
When it involves pumping, there is no such factor as ‘one measurement suits all’ and Vine says that is another compelling reason to lease quite than buy. “ เกจแรงดันลม can draw from its extremely wide range of pumps and other equipment to supply options which might be precisely tailor-made to the customer’s wants. By distinction, we regularly notice that corporations that elect to purchase their very own gear find yourself using pumps that are completely unsuited to the task at hand. They are utilizing them as a end result of that’s all they have obtainable.”
By renting from IPR, customers additionally get the good thing about the latest know-how. “Obviously, not each unit in our fleet would be the very latest model but, typically, our stock consists of recent or relatively new machines providing – amongst different issues – glorious gasoline efficiency,” says Vine. “Customers can rest assured that we’ll never provide out-of-date equipment that is now not match for purpose.”
While rental is the backbone of IPR’s enterprise, the company additionally sells pumps and different equipment. It is the sole agent in southern Africa for the well-established Atlas Copco diesel-driven pump units in addition to the Atlas Copco vary of submersible pumps.
As Vine feedback, “We’re certainly not saying that clients should all the time hire. Under the best circumstances, direct possession of assets such as pumps can be one of the best route to observe. We recognise this, which is why we’re geared to either rent or promote.”
IPR is based in trendy premises in Jet Park, Johannesburg, the place it has a well-equipped engineering workshop which permits it to provide absolutely customised pumping and dredging solutions to ISO 9001 standards.
