How Renting Equipment Online Can Reduce Our Carbon Footprint

In a world of e-commerce and digitalization, almost anything can be purchased or rented online. And yes, that includes the rentals of construction equipment and machinery. Not only do online rentals of equipment and machinery bring us great convenience and high transparency, but we may unknowingly reduce our carbon footprint and help save our planet too in the process.

In this blog, let’s discuss how you can do your part in conserving our planet by simply just renting equipment and machinery online!

4 Reasons Why Online Equipment Rentals Can Reduce Our Carbon Footprint
 

1. Paperless Process

Did you know? On average, 7 pieces of paper will be printed out for just one equipment or machinery rental. This includes invoices, purchase orders, delivery orders, collection orders and many more. And the additional number of printed papers will definitely be needed in the event of rental extensions, equipment damage claims, relocation of equipment and etc.

However, that process can be entirely automated and paperless if everyone chooses to rent their equipment or machinery online.

By making equipment and machinery rentals online, Antbuildz.com have helped to save thousands of paper from being printed. We have also helped our users in cutting down the unnecessary administrative work of preparing physical purchase orders, and our Partners are not required to invoice us as well. Every equipment rental will refer to the documents generated by our system.

2. Discover Green Equipment

By visiting an online platform for equipment and machinery rentals (such as Antbuildz.com), you might discover equipment or machinery models of different specifications that are more suitable for your site application.

Some might not be aware, but electric boom lifts can already reach working heights of up to 20m. Other popular equipment that comes in battery-powered options include scissor lifts, vertical lifts, generators (energy storage container), forklifts, pallet trucks, reach trucks, stackers, cargo vans, welding sets, and even excavators!

As equipment and machinery traditionally come in diesel-powered variants only, many may not be aware of electric or hybrid options in the market. If your site is sensitive to exhaust fumes, or you would like to save on diesel costs and try out greener options to reduce our carbon footprint, do consider renting electric or hybrid equipment!

3. Rent the Right Fit Equipment

If you adopt the traditional way of sourcing for equipment by contacting equipment suppliers one by one, you may be offered equipment that is above the capacity that your site requires as the options may be limited. Equipment suppliers may suggest you a higher capacity model equipment simply because they only have that particular model available in their fleet, or they are trying to upsell you into renting a higher capacity and more expensive equipment.

Should you proceed to rent unnecessarily high capacity equipment, your site may end up burning more fuel and producing unnecessary extra exhaust emissions as higher capacity equipment tend to require more diesel to operate. 

By visiting Antbuildz.com, all available equipment can be viewed online at a glance with full transparency with the broadest option. You can also easily filter all equipment by its capacity so that you rent the appropriate type of equipment that your site requires and prevent wastage of valuable resources such as time, money and diesel.

4. Reduce Physical Travelling and Time Wasting

The traditional way of the sales channel of equipment suppliers is highly relying on salesmen. Travelling to meet up with potential customers is very common. However, in the pandemic era, face to face meeting is no longer productive where social interactions are highly restricted.

The adoption of online rental is unavoidable. Not only can equipment suppliers reach out to more customers in just a few clicks, but there is also no need to hire more salespeople anymore to travel around just to engage a few customers. By reducing the amount of physical travelling needed, it will surely help in reducing our carbon footprint.

As for users, time is so precious. Wasting hours and days just to get quotations and compare is such an unproductive process. By adopting online rental, users can search, compare and rent their preferred equipment in just a few clicks. This significantly saves time for the more important tasks. Should the user have further questions, our Antbuildz.com Team is only a phone call away. And if needed, we provide all our users with free equipment consultation before any reservations. This in turn will reduce the number of site surveys needed, and again help to reduce our carbon footprint.
