Hiring in power - checklist ensures best deal
Whether hiring a power generator or lighting tower, a specialist in the hire, sale and maintenance of generators has produced guidelines to ensure UK businesses get the best deal.
Power4's Checklist: " Check that the correct equipment has been delivered.
Always match your original order to the items that arrive - or an overlooked cable could become a huge catastrophe! " Is the equipment in good condition? Equipment should be in tip-top condition upon receipt to ensure it will provide reliable service throughout the duration of its hire.
" Are the 'servicing' and 'residual current device' test' labels showing 'in-date'? The two labels demonstrate that the equipment is in good working order and is safe and ready for use.
" Is the equipment clean? A company servicing policy should automatically include a cleaning process to ensure that equipment looks presentable before it reaches the customer.
" Have you been shown how to operate the equipment? Being informed of the correct way to operate your equipment is essential to the safe and effective operation of your hire products.
" Have you been shown how to check the oil and water, etc? Small maintenance updates will be required during your equipment's time with you to enable smooth and efficient running.
" Are you happy with the positioning and set-up of the equipment? The majority of power hire machinery is bulky and heavy - ensure the equipment is not causing any obstruction to walkways or fire exits before you complete your set up.
" Does all the equipment operate to your satisfaction and requirements? It is wise to give all equipment a test-run before signing, as a seemingly small hitch such as an incorrect cable can render your equipment - and therefore hire - useless.
"It is essential that you look carefully at every aspect of the equipment and contract before you commit to a hire," comments Paul Wilson, Managing Director of Power4.
"By sticking to our guidelines, businesses can ensure they are getting the very best performance from their equipment, as well as a hassle-free service.".
