4 Proven Strategies to Accelerate Growth for Your Construction Equipment Hire Company

The construction industry is the backbone of infrastructure development worldwide. From towering skyscrapers to roadworks, land and council development and the works, the machinery and equipment used in this industry play a pivotal role in shaping our cities and communities.

While total building activity continues to decline in FY2024, there is a positive forecast for solid growth from FY2026 as total building activity will expand to $130.4 billion (+9%). On the other hand, government-funded infrastructure projects are driving a surge in engineering construction activity, and forecasts indicate that transportation work will peak at $34.8 billion by FY25. This spike is creating a demand for equipment hire. With a positive outlook on the equipment rental market, factors like urbanisation, population growth and infrastructure development are driving this growth.

Let’s explore four key strategies to propel your construction equipment company forward, ensuring sustainable growth and a competitive edge in the market

1. Expand your fleet with new and up-to-date equipment

Staying ahead in the construction equipment industry requires more than just having the essentials. It’s crucial to continually assess your fleet’s capabilities and invest in diverse, modern equipment that meets the evolving needs of your projects. By identifying gaps in your current fleet and investing in versatile, high-demand machinery, you attract a wider range of clients and enhance project efficiency and effectiveness.

In addition to suitable equipment, it is crucial to ensure your business has the right fuel storage equipment to fuel your machines. In the long run, investing in bulk fuel storage and transportable refuelling solutions enables convenient and accessible refuelling at your yard or onsite, therefore allowing your business to save time and money.

2. Offer flexible and competitive equipment hire

In a landscape where flexibility and affordability are paramount, offering diverse hire services can be a game-changer for your company. By developing flexible hire packages – whether short-term, long-term, or rent-to-own – and implementing competitive pricing strategies, you can cater to the needs of your clients while staying ahead of the curve. Exceptional customer service and support further cement your reputation, increasing customer retention and satisfaction and giving you a significant edge in the market.

3. Form strategic partnerships

In today’s business environment, strategic partnerships can be a key component for growth and innovation. By identifying potential partners – whether suppliers, contractors, or industry associations – and building mutually beneficial relationships, businesses can gain access to new markets, resources, and expertise. Collaborative marketing efforts and joint ventures not only expand reach but also enhance credibility and industry standing, positioning your company as a trusted leader in the field.

4. Offer Additional Services:

Alongside renting out construction equipment, consider providing value-added services like equipment maintenance, operator training, or on-site project support. These extra services can create additional revenue streams and set your business apart from competitors.

How does using On-Demand Machinery from Equipment Hire Companies Benefit the Construction Industry

With construction businesses having large capital expenditures and a continuous flow of money from an operational aspect, investing in expensive machinery is a high risk if not used regularly. A smarter choice for construction businesses is to rent equipment for the time required to lower maintenance costs and improve financial flexibility.

quote-01I purchased a Poly Tank Fuel Trailer from DUROTANK in April 2018. DUROTANK builds one of the best fuel trailers I have ever used. The build quality, engineering and attention to detail is unreal. The fuel trailer is rock solid, it tracks extremely well full of fuel at 100km/hr and its road worthy. All of the fittings are hoses are high quality hydraulic hose and crimped fittings so there are no leaks. The Durotank team is very easy to deal with and more than happy to help with any enquiries. The staff are friendly and it is a pleasure to do business with them. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat, that’s for sure

Having them already saved us on oil transport on at least 2 occasions so far and has also allowed us to restructure our oil work days and use out of hours oil deliveries to make more efficient use of the time on site.
