In the refrigeration sector, requirements can vary considerably from one day to the next depending on the season, events or even changes in end-customer demand. Agility and the ability to adapt quickly to changes then become essential to remain competitive. And what if refrigeration equipment rental was the key? In this article, Petit Forestier, European leader in the rental of refrigerated vehicles, furniture and containers, takes stock.
Rental of refrigeration equipment: flexibility and agility
One of the main advantages of hiring refrigeration equipment is the flexibility it offers. Unlike purchasing, leasing allows companies to respond effectively to needs in real time, whether for a short or medium term. With rental, you can adjust your fleet of refrigeration equipment according to your specific needs, without the financial and logistical constraints associated with purchasing and maintaining equipment.
Whether you need to increase your refrigeration capacity for a one-off event or for a longer period, rental gives you access to a wide range of latest-generation equipment, ready for rapid deployment. A solution for rapidly absorbing the extra load. What's more, this ability to respond quickly to needs can give you a real competitive edge.
Long payback periods on purchase
Purchasing refrigeration equipment can be a major investment, with payback periods generally extending over several years. This can weigh heavily on a company's finances, particularly for SMEs. Leasing refrigeration equipment, on the other hand, transforms this fixed cost into a variable cost that is more manageable and tailored to the actual use of the equipment. What's more, it eliminates any concerns about equipment depreciation. It also ensures that you always have access to state-of-the-art solutions without having to constantly reinvest in new purchases.
The economy of use, a new mode of consumption
"Today, we are seeing changes in usage. More and more consumers are opting to rent, whether it's clothes, DIY equipment, cars, bicycles, etc. This means that consumers are paying to use a product or service without necessarily owning it. For the new generation, the emphasis is on use rather than ownership.
Refrigeration equipment rental is perfectly in line with this trend. It gives you access to top-of-the-range equipment while freeing you from the constraints associated with depreciation and long-term maintenance. It's also a way of limiting the consumption of materials and energy associated with the production of new equipment, because leased products are shared by several users instead of being owned individually and potentially under-used."
In short, choosing to hire refrigeration equipment from Petit Forestier means choosing a solution that combines flexibility, efficiency and cost control. Whether you're faced with one-off or long-term needs, rental allows you to adapt your refrigeration equipment to demand. In a world where agility, adaptability and responsiveness are important, Petit Forestier enables you to remain competitive whatever the circumstances.
