KONECRANES LAUNCH INDUSTRY-FIRST RENTAL SOLUTION IN UK

Having successfully launched its yourKONECRANES customer interface and asset management portal recently, the world’s leading lifting equipment manufacturer has announced another pioneering initiative in the UK market – Konecranes RENTALL Solutions. Introduced to provide maximum flexibility in the workplace, the package allows cross sector lifting equipment operators to invest in new equipment without having to make capital down payments. Serving as a bundle package, Konecranes RENTALL Solutions enables customers to select a crane or hoist capacity inline with their process requirements up to 10t. It also comes complete with a preventative care and maintenance plan, including periodic inspections, spare parts and Konecranes TRUCONNECT remote monitoring service. Available for a fixed monthly fee over a minimum initial rental term of 36 months, Konecranes RENTALL Solutions operates as a truly versatile package, enabling transparent flexibility for end users to upgrade equipment to match production and crane usage patterns should needs change over the agreed term period. Commenting on behalf of Konecranes, the man tasked with coordinating the rollout RENTALL, General Manager Special Projects UK, Cliff Hilson said: “Whilst Konecranes understand the importance and necessity for customers to invest in their businesses, with RENTALL Solutions there is no need to tie up capital on fixed assets, which is a costly and time consuming exercise, and the process involved in arranging an agreement is far less complicated and protracted. In essence, RENTALL Solutions is like buying a new crane, only easier.” KEY BENEFITS: No upfront capital investment. Improved cash flow enables customers to invest in other business areas. Being an operating expense, equipment does not feature on the balance sheet. The process can be faster than buying as the decision-making process and approval time is reduced. Predictable fixed costs, including standard maintenance, ensure spend can be planned and controlled accurately.
