Renting Assets Versus Buying Assets

To rent, or to buy? That’s the question — and Ironclad has the answer.

In the world of environmental solutions, renting assets rather than investing in owning capital equipment is the smart, cost-effective and sustainable choice.

In addition to the fact that renting assets requires no upfront capital requirements, there’s a wealth of ancillary benefits that come with partnering with Ironclad as an asset partner. The first is speed: Renting equipment frees you of dealing with supply-side constraints. Need an asset? Ironclad has it — and with one of the biggest fleets in the country, we have the nationwide reach to get it to our clients whenever and wherever they need it. As every job grows and evolves, Ironclad is poised to meet those changing needs with a diverse inventory of assets.

Those assets are guaranteed to meet your top performance expectations. Ironclad prides itself on the constant maintenance and hydrotesting of its assets, ensuring that every delivery is like receiving a brand-new item. Plus, that outsourced maintenance responsibility is complemented by the expertise of an industry-leading team that can help you craft custom solutions to solve your most pressing and unique challenges.

As environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities become of increasing importance across industries and organizations, it’s important to note that renting an asset is the epitome of sustainability. With Ironclad’s nationwide network of locations, we’re able to maximize an asset’s life cycle. And in the process of water testing our assets on a national scale, we recycle millions of gallons of water daily, preventing an unnecessary usage of precious resources.

The way we convert and refurbish boxes and tanks to be top-performing is, by definition, sustainable. We’re helping to cut back on the need for new equipment, which translates to millions of pounds of steel that doesn’t have to be manufactured and trucked to serve our industry partners. And our refurbishment projects are performed near our existing locations, further cutting back on the impact of travel and hauling.
