This article explores the benefits of sustainable equipment hire, highlighting how renting equipment can improve environmental sustainability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance fuel efficiency. 

We examine the economic advantages of renting over buying, the role of maintenance in promoting sustainability, and the ways in which modern equipment contributes to eco-friendly practices. 

Read on to find out why Onsite Rental Group is the best choice for your equipment hire needs, offering top-quality, environmentally-friendly solutions to help you achieve your business goals while supporting a greener future.

Why Sustainable Equipment Hire Matters

Equipment rentals is an effective route for businesses looking to improve their environmental sustainability. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, and by supporting eco-friendly practices, companies can make a positive impact on the planet while enjoying operational benefits.

Environmental Impact of Traditional Equipment Ownership

When businesses purchase equipment, they tend to commit to long-term use, even if the equipment becomes outdated or inefficient. This can lead to increased fuel consumption and higher emissions of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and environmental degradation. 

The Role of Equipment Hire in Reducing Carbon Footprint

Renting allows businesses to access the latest and most fuel-efficient models, which are designed to minimise greenhouse gas emissions. By using newer, eco-friendly equipment, companies can significantly lower their environmental impact. 

Additionally, rental services often include regular maintenance, helping equipment operate at peak efficiency, further reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Sustainable Practices in Business Operations

Sustainable practices, such as equipment hire, promote environmental sustainability by reducing waste and conserving resources. By renting instead of buying, companies can avoid the environmental costs associated with manufacturing and disposing of equipment.

Using modern, eco-friendly machinery can enhance a company’s reputation, attracting environmentally-conscious clients and partners. 

As a bonus, sustainable practices can lead to cost savings through improved efficiency and reduced fuel costs, benefiting both the environment and the bottom line.

Efficiency and Fuel Efficiency with Modern Equipment

By investing in fuel-efficient equipment, industries across various sectors can achieve operational and environmental benefits. 

Modern Equipment is Designed for Better Fuel Efficiency

Advances in technology have led to the development of machines with the potential to consume less fuel while maintaining, or even improving, their performance. These machines are equipped with engines and components designed to optimise fuel use and reduce wastage. 

For example, smart control systems can adjust the engine’s power output based on the workload, so fuel consumption is minimised when full power is not necessary.

Reducing Emissions with Fuel-Efficient Equipment  

Using fuel-efficient equipment leads to a reduction in fuel costs, which can add up to substantial savings over time. Plus, fuel-efficient equipment produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This reduction in emissions helps combat climate change and promotes eco-friendly practices within the industry. 

The Role of Equipment Maintenance in Sustainability

Proper maintenance extends the life of your equipment and keeps it operating in the most fuel-efficient manner, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting environmental sustainability, benefiting both the environment and your profit margins.

Regular and Corrective Maintenance to Prolong Equipment Life

By ensuring machinery is well-maintained, rental services can keep their equipment running efficiently and safely for longer periods. This helps reduce the need for frequent replacements and contributes to environmental sustainability by minimising the resources required to manufacture new equipment. 

Maintenance Reduces Waste and Promotes Sustainability

When equipment is regularly serviced, it is less likely to break down, reducing the need for costly repairs and equipment disposal. By avoiding the premature disposal of machinery, rental services can significantly cut down on waste, contributing to a more eco-friendly operation. 

Well-maintained equipment tends to be more fuel-efficient, which helps in lowering the carbon footprint of businesses using rented machinery, supporting broader environmental sustainability goals.

Best Practices for Equipment Maintenance in Rental Services

Some of the best practices in equipment maintenance include:

  • Regular Inspections

This approach helps maintain the equipment’s optimal performance and reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.

  • Scheduled Servicing:

This includes oil changes, filter replacements, and other essential maintenance tasks to keep machinery running smoothly and efficiently.

  • Corrective Maintenance

Ignoring minor problems can lead to more severe damage and higher repair costs down the line. Quick repairs help maintain equipment efficiency and reduce the likelihood of equipment failure.

  • Training and Education

When all personnel involved in equipment maintenance are well-trained and knowledgeable about best practices, it can lead to more effective maintenance routines, promoting eco-friendly practices and improving the sustainability of the rental service.

Economic Benefits of Equipment Rentals

Renting allows companies to maintain operational efficiency, and contribute to a greener environment

Renting Versus Buying Equipment

Renting means companies access the necessary equipment without the substantial upfront costs associated with owning the equipment. This can free up capital for other important areas of the business, such as marketing, development, or hiring skilled staff.

Flexibility and Scalability of Rental Agreements 

Rental agreements often offer flexible terms, allowing companies to rent equipment for particular durations depending on their needs. This helps businesses respond to market demands efficiently without being tied down by long-term commitments.

Business Growth without Large Capital Expenditure 

For businesses in industries where technology changes rapidly, renting allows them to stay updated with the latest advancements without the financial burden of purchasing new equipment every few years. 

Rental agreements often include maintenance and repair services, which can lead to additional savings and help the equipment remain in optimal condition, contributing to fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

How to Choose the Best Equipment Hire Company

Leasing heavy equipment for a construction project is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to buying it outright. It eliminates the need for storage, offers lower up-front and maintenance costs, covers transportation and provides access to modern equipment. However, your business will only reap these benefits if you conduct due diligence to secure a reliable and reputable partner.
So, how do you choose the best equipment hire service for your needs? Here are four essential things to consider before making the decision.

⚠️ Contact Onsite Rentals On 📞 13 40 40 For Unmatched Industry Solutions

1.

Assess the Project Scope to Determine the Construction Equipment Required

The first factor to consider is the scope and duration of your construction project or operation. For small-scale projects with defined timelines, short-term rentals are ideal for access to modern equipment without extensive financial commitments. Alternatively, large-scale projects benefit from long-term rentals, offering flexibility and discounted rates.

Once you have specified your timeline, outline the machinery required for your project. Ensure that the rental companies you consider stock the equipment needed and offer tailored solutions that fit within your timeline.

2.

Ensure Hire Machinery Adheres to Safety Standards

For maximum safety, accurate timelines and quality outcomes, it is crucial a hire equipment company has the latest models of the machinery required. Verify whether the equipment is well-maintained, adheres to government regulations and meets industry standards. Older heavy machinery has a higher likelihood of technical failure, causing extended downtime and problematic safety issues. A good construction equipment rental will allow you to test the equipment before committing to renting it.

Additionally, investigate the machinery hire company’s maintenance record and the manufacturer’s reputation. It is also best practice to read the company’s insurance policy for assurance that you are legally and financially covered in the case of an accident.

Choose Onsite Rentals for Meticulously Maintained Machinery & Equipment

3.

Select a Equipment Hire Company That Is Responsive  

A hire company must provide excellent customer service. Given the fluctuating nature of construction projects, flexible hire terms are vital in the case of delays due to bad weather or other obstacles.

Ensure the rental provider has facilities close to your construction site for easy access, fast response times, and local expertise. They must also be dedicated to efficient delivery times, as the logistics of delivery and pick-up can affect your operation’s timeline and productivity for better or worse.

4.

Research the Reputation of the Construction Hire Equipment Company

Researching an equipment hire company’s track record regarding their timeliness, industry experience, certificates and licences is essential to assess their reputation. Reading reviews is also helpful to paint a clear picture of whether the company is reliable to partner with. Additionally, ensure they provide transparent pricing and clear terms of machinery hire to prevent any surprises along the way. 

Choosing a widely trusted and well-established construction equipment hire company increases the chances of a seamless experience that adheres to your timeline.

SHELL/QGC LNG TURNAROUND PROJECTS

THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Performing a maintenance shutdown is a complex operation and every shutdown is slightly different, which means the solutions need to be carefully tailored to suit the project and the client’s needs. That was certainly the case with two Shell/QGC (Queensland Gas Company) turnaround projects in Kumbarilla, in the QLD Western Downs region. Both installations – Jordan CPP village and Ruby Jo CPP village – required the supply of temporary office complexes, meeting rooms, amenities blocks, crib huts, and side opening containers (for ice machines), in addition to lighting towers, generators and water tanks.

ONSITE RENTAL GROUP’S APPROACH

In total, 27 portable buildings of different sizes were provided across the two sites. The Jordan CPP site was more challenging, as it was a lot narrower than Ruby Joe, and thus required the deployment of a design that has been carefully developed over several years and used in a range of shutdowns to suit the area available. The larger Ruby Joe site was designed to suit the number of workers for each building. For both installations, the site layouts were developed using area maximisation and determining what could be fitted in the area to best utilise the space.

For both projects, Onsite collaborated with Australian Temporary Buildings, a contractor we have worked with for many years for site facility building installations and demobilisations.

THE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE

Onsite has the contract with Shell/QGC for all equipment and building hire, and QGC has expressed a lot of trust in what we do regarding planning and executing solutions to meet their needs.

Onsite has been partnering with clients on a wide range of shutdown projects for over a decade, and this experience and our expertise were important factors in the QGC project. As with all shutdown projects Onsite is involved with, planning began months in advance, with fortnightly meetings held in the lead up to the shutdown, to manage the requirements with all personnel from Onsite and QGC. This process is a main contributor to our success with planning, delivering and executing shutdowns. In addition, minimal issues with our equipment leads to seamless works and better results, putting Onsite ahead of our competitors.

The two QGC shutdown installations were very successful and completed safely and on time and on budget to meet QGC expectations. We received great feedback from QGC and the shutdowns were successfully completed without any impact on its performance to execute the works. Onsite also received excellent reviews from the senior shutdown coordinators and general staff using the facilities, and QGC was very happy with the team’s professionalism and execution of hire supply solutions.

Enhanced Ontrak® feature gives the power to track rental equipment emissions

At Onsite, innovation is one of our core values, which is why we continue to develop and enhance our Total Rental Management Solutions. Our Ontrak® system is a great example of an innovation designed to make our customers’ rental experience more transparent and as smooth as possible. This proprietary cloud-based worksite management solution helps you to remotely monitor, manage and make the most of your on-hire equipment. And it’s now even better than ever.

We’re excited to announce the latest feature, which allows you to track your carbon emissions of the equipment you’re renting. There are myriad benefits:

  • Environmental awareness: not only does this new feature raise awareness about the carbon footprint associated with rental equipment, but it also provides vital education.
  • Reduced emissions: by having access to carbon emissions information, you can opt for equipment with lower emissions. This leads to a direct reduction in the carbon footprint associated with the rental activities and contributes to overall emission reduction efforts.
  • Regulatory compliance: it’s now a requirement for many companies to report carbon emissions, and by openly providing emissions data, we can demonstrate compliance and potentially access benefits or incentive related to carbon reduction efforts.
  • Data-driven insights: we can analyse our clients’ preferences and patterns related to equipment with lower carbon emissions over time. This data can inform decisions about inventory management and potentially lead to the introduction of more sustainable equipment options.
  • Long-term viability: as the world increasingly focuses on sustainability, integrating carbon emissions information into business practices shows a company’s progressive approach and adaptability to changing customer preferences and regulatory landscapes.
  • Collaborative environmental efforts: by involving our customers in carbon emissions reduction efforts, we can foster collaboration in addressing environmental challenges. This engagement can lead to a broader cultural shift toward sustainability.

The data can be viewed in several ways via the new Onsite Ontrak widget to assist clients in measuring, reporting and reducing targets on carbon emissions daily. For more information, our Customer Success Manager can give you the lowdown: 0499 400 075.

5 tips for renting portable lighting towers

Lighting Towers

Where you need to light up night roadworks or a remote mine site, it’s important to choose the right size, style and number of portable lighting towers according to the site and your specific needs. Here are 5 key considerations:

  • Calculate how much coverage and brightness you need

To get the best solution, it’s important to calculate the size of the area that you need to illuminate. Also consider the level of brightness (lumens) you need. For example, construction and roadworks sites need to be well lit so workers can see what they’re doing.

  • Determine how many hours you need the lighting to run

Determine how many hours you’ll need the lighting towers to operate. A lighting plant can run 24/7 but it’s determined by the type of bulb (LED or metal halide) and the tower’s fuel tank capacity. As a guide, a metal halide lighting tower would need to be refuelled every 48-50 hours (with a fuel consumption of around 4-litres per hour), while an LED tower can run for up to 200 hours between refuelling, with a fuel burn of between 0.8-2.5-litres per hour. Solar-powered lights run for around 12-14 hours depending on weather conditions and solar recharge rate.

As a guide: Metal halide bulbs are bright, warm lights and provide a great deal of illumination. High-intensity bright white LED lamps are low-voltage and require less energy than metal halide lights, but they don’t provide quite as much illumination. However, LED lights are instant-on and turn off right away and are the most popular choice among Onsite customers.

  • Consider height and rotation

If you need height for your worksite, then a key consideration is how high the mast is and the ease of extending it. Also ensure the lighting tower selected has a stabilisation system, in the event of high winds. Another factor is whether the mast can be easily rotated and tilted, so illumination goes exactly where needed. Onsite’s lighting towers have 360-degree rotation, with some rotating at the bottom of the mast and others rotating hydraulically at the light head. All of Onsite’s lighting towers have stabilising legs to assist in windy conditions, however, in some extreme winds there’s still the risk of the light plant blowing over, which is why it’s crucial to discuss your needs, work site setting and different scenarios with a lighting equipment hire specialist.

  • Noise generation

If your site is in an urban environment where noise mitigation is a requirement, selecting a lighting tower with a low noise level is vital. If noise is an issue, keep in mind that solar and electric light towers are silent. As an example, for pedestrian lighting, solar power would be ideal, while for an industrial worksite with noise restrictions, the best option would be a metro-spec LED light plant due to its lower noise levels.

  • Power type

There are various power options including diesel, generator, solar or electric power outlet.

Want to discuss your lighting tower needs? Call Onsite on 13 40 40 for a tailored solution.
We provide a range of solutions ranging from unique cube contact units to specialised portable LED lighting towers in various configurations, and solar units ranging from 240w to 2280w.

Why maintenance shutdowns need to operate like ‘well-oiled machinery’…and the role Onsite plays

Tool Store

Performing a maintenance shutdown is usually a complex operation – particularly when you weigh up the need to balance maximum safety requirements with minimal operational disruptions. It’s essential work but can’t be executed while machines are operational, hence the necessary shutdown. And given every hour a site is idle equates to significant revenue losses, planning an efficient shutdown is critical to minimise downtime.

“It’s vital for shutdowns to operate like ‘well-oiled machinery’, which is why having the resources and equipment available to perform the works is so important,” says Iain Campbell, Onsite’s Regional Industrial Services Manager – Western. “Although certain core maintenance tasks might take as little as a few weeks, the preparation can take up to a year or more. Proper planning and ensuring that all elements are covered takes out the guesswork and eliminates any surprises.”

Over the past decade, Onsite has been involved in around 120 planned shutdowns for mining, construction, oil & gas and manufacturing operations, predominantly in geographically remote areas in WA’s Pilbara and Goldfields and also in the Southwest, where Onsite assists various clients with shutdowns on a regular basis. The longest shutdown Onsite has worked on was a 1000-man, 90-day shutdown for a WA nickel mining site, while the shortest was a 500-man, 45-day shutdown for a power station.

For large, manned shutdowns, we usually receive support requests many months in advance, while for smaller manned shutdowns we receive requests weeks or months prior, and unmanned shutdown requests – such as for tooling containers – might only be a matter of a couple of weeks’ notice,” says Iain.

Tailored solutions

Onsite has a dedicated shutdown team consisting of local teams that mobilise to shutdowns as and when required. There is also a FIFO team that works fulltime on client sites where 24/7 tool stores are required.

Onsite also has an extensive list of equipment – 50,000 individual pieces – available for planned shutdowns. This includes mechanical hand tools, electric and battery-operated tooling, specialised hydraulic tooling, hydraulic lift and shift equipment, electrical testing equipment and intrinsically safe tooling used primarily for the oil & gas sector.

“Every shutdown is slightly different in nature, which means the tooling requirements change according to the shutdown and our clients’ needs,” says Iain. “We work closely with clients to deliver a fit-for-purpose bespoke tooling solution to execute the shutdown in a safe and cost-effective manner.”

Clients have the choice of a range of tool store offerings ranging from a more simplistic solution – i.e., the supply of industrial tooling from Onsite’s branch network. Onsite also supplies unmanned tooling solutions consisting of tailored gang boxes and tooling containers. By far the most popular solution for medium to larger shutdowns is Onsite’s manned tool store option: a self-sufficient tool store containing all the equipment required by the client in addition to the labour to manage the tool store 24/7.

“With this solution the tooling remains off-hire in the tool store until the equipment is booked out to an individual, at which time the equipment is then on-hire,” explains Iain. “We can also supply long term site-based tool store solutions, which can be on sites for many years, with our team members mobilising to site on a FIFO basis. Unmanned tooling containers can also be supplied on a rotational basis – i.e., supplied to site but rotated back to our Industrial Service Branch for audit/repairs, test and tagging etc.”

Tool store management

Onsite has a dedicated team of Tool Store Controllers who are trained in many aspects of managing the tool store. They use Onsite’s proprietary inventory management software to manage tooling, electrical test and tagging training, inspections of rigging equipment, forklift operations, and minor repairs of tooling.

Providing vital data is also a vital role. “The most requested data from clients is what’s out on hire and to whom, whether it’s a person or company. We keep track of both,” adds Iain.

Onsite’s role

  • Pre-shutdown is a crucial component: Onsite works closely with clients to plan the types of equipment required, technical requirements, specifications and volumes required for the scope of work.
  • The Onsite team manages the tooling as well as the consumable requirements as required.
  • All equipment is tested and tagged and once the order is confirmed Onsite then picks and packs the tooling containers to the customers’ requirements and makes ready for transport to site.
  • The barcode from each item is scanned and allocated to the specific user (the system then records the transaction date and time and any other analysis coding specific to that site). This means each authorised user is identified within the system by their unique barcode, whether clients or contractors.
  • Onsite organises the transport logistics to ensure the equipment arrives to site prior to the shutdown.
  • Once on site Onsite sets up the tool stores in preparation for the shutdown.
  • Fully trained and inducted personnel are provided to man tool stores for the duration of the shutdowns, which can include day and night shifts over long periods of time (teams are swapped out to ensure compliance to fatigue management procedures).
  • Tailored reports (daily, weekly, or monthly) are provided to clients (i.e., spend, overdue equipment, damages and losses).
  • Once the shutdown is complete, the reverse logistics are organised by Onsite. That involves finalising missing equipment and advising clients, and then packing up the stores for demobilisation.

“Planning is key to our success and we engage with our clients as early as possible to work through the process,” says Iain. “The planning can be up to 12 months in advance for large shutdowns or long term site-based tool stores.”

Tailored Solutions for Tianqi Lithium

Site Accommodation

Tianqi Lithium, a joint venture between Talison Lithium and US miner Albermarle Corporation, is Australia’s first fully automated lithium hydroxide processing plant. WA’s first battery-grade lithium hydroxide was produced in May 2022 at the company’s lithium hydroxide processing plant in the Kwinana Industrial Area, south of Perth, for supply to global customer producing rechargeable batteries for the electric vehicle and energy storage system industries.

The first stage of the facility, Train 1, was successfully commissioned in 2018, and construction of a second production train is slated to begin in the first half of 2023, with an early works program already underway. Hundreds of local jobs will be created during construction, and to house around 200-300 office and construction workers during the duration of the Train 2 construction meant that offices, cribbing facilities and amenities blocks were required. There were several key challenges, including limited site space, low fleet availability and unprecedented site accommodation demand issues. In addition, providing a cost-effective solution was a key requirement for our client due to stage 1 construction costs and expected delivery date blow-outs.

Our Approach

As a brownfields site, space was at a premium for the installation of site accommodation. To overcome the challenge, Onsite designed and built an open-plan office compound-style set-up that would suit the needs of internal and external key stakeholders. In total, Onsite has supplied 24 floors and four toilet blocks for the duration of the 18-month project.

Our Business Advantage

Onsite has a strong history with Tianqi Lithium and a proven track record, having successfully installed site accommodation for Stage 1 in 2017. It gave our client confidence that we could meet their requirements for the second stage, Train 2, and provide a tailored solution that would overcome the distinct challenges. In addition, being able to provide prompt technical expertise and solution solving for complex issues was a significant drawcard, as was our client having to deal with just one company to provide the solutions. And being able to finish on time and on budget was a crucial factor in our client’s decision making.

Western Port Highway Upgrade

Large Roundabout

The Western Port Highway Upgrade was a major road infrastructure project being delivered by Downer Group on behalf of Major Road Projects Victoria and formed part of Victoria’s Big Build. The project involved replacing the roundabouts at the intersections of Ballarto Road, Skye and Cranbourne-Frankston Road, Langwarrin in Melbourne with traffic lights to better manage traffic flow on and off Western Highway. Additional through lanes, dedicated right-turn lanes and left-turn slip lanes, in addition to new shared walking and cycling paths were also key parts of the project.

Major construction began in January 2022 and was completed in December 2022, with the upgrade designed to improve safety and congestion for the 25,000 drivers that use the highway each day – and Onsite was on-hand to provide a wide range of products and equipment to service the client’s evolving needs.

Onsite Rental Group’s Approach

Agility has been vital for this project because of the challenging timeframes and rapidly evolving and increasing client and project requirements, not to mention the concurrent state-wide high demand for site accommodation products. Strong relationships and the ability to act quickly were key in Onsite securing the contract to work with Downer. We had already been working closely with Downer’s Procurement Team to secure a preferred supply agreement, and they continued to keep using Onsite because of our strong customer-focused service and quality equipment.

Onsite provided a wide range of equipment including telehandlers (2.5t and 3.0t), lighting towers, Superloo toilets, and crash-rated water-filled traffic safety barriers. A major achievement was the provision of enough lighting towers to suit Downer’s requirements during the multiple 24/7 construction blitz. They required a large number of lighting towers to ensure there was enough light for work to be completed safety at night throughout the occupations. Onsite was able to meet that demand and we were given the first opportunity to supply lighting towers for Downer’s major occupation in July 2022.  

In addition, the quality of our Superloos and the reliability of our Victorian servicing team meant we were chosen to provide user-friendly on-site toilet amenities spread across the site.

The Business Advantage

Onsite prides itself on offering customer-centric solutions and our approach for this project has resulted in a myriad of benefits for our client, including:

  • Quality, fuel-efficient products
  • Reliable, well-maintained equipment
  • Fast response and actions on any breakdowns or issues
  • Onsite’s reliable afterhours service
  • Open and clear communication
  • Knowing they have access to call an account manager rather than a call centre
