Larger pipeline inspection unit for rent
Ashtead Technology Rentals has acquired a rugged Rovver 225 pipeline inspection unit for pipes with an internal diameter ranging from 30 to 120cm.
In many applications, the equipment is either required for a specific period, or is only used infrequently, and in such circumstances, renting can represent a more attractive alternative to purchase.
Ashtead Technology's James Carlyle believes that: "As part of one of the world's largest rental companies, we are able to invest in a wide range of RVI technologies to meet every need.
As a result, this sophisticated Olympus technology is available to a wider market." Carlyle attributes Ashtead Technology's success to three issues: "We provide technical advice on what to rent and how to use it; the availability of our instrumentation is second to none; and all our equipment is always tested and ready for use.".
