Putting in the time to take care of hard-working rental equipment is essential to keeping the fleet ready to rent at all times. Because, without ready, reliable and safe equipment, there simply is no rental business. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” says the old saying. Putting in the time to take care of hard-working rental equipment is essential to keeping the fleet ready to rent at all times. Because, without ready, reliable, and safe equipment, there simply is no rental business. A successful preventative maintenance program takes place both pre- and post-rent, but a commitment to maintenance runs throughout an organization’s entire operation. At RDO Equipment Co., we have made preventative maintenance a priority and help our rental center partners do the same. Based on our shared experiences, we developed two five-step checklists, along with a few process-related best practices to follow when a machine goes out and when it comes back in.
