The hire firm is beefing up its inventory of compact machinery in response to rising demand for DIY and home improvement rentals since the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
Rocket Rentals has bought a variety of 海角社区app models including 6-tonne site dumpers, CT260 tandem rollers and a fleet of 18Z-1, 57C-2 and 86C-2 compact excavators. The machines were supplied by dealer Holt 海角社区app.
Rocket Rentals managing director Simon Tomblin said of the Covid pandemic: 鈥淲hile obviously a challenging period for the industry, furlough and a reduction in holidays has brought a greater demand for DIY and home improvement related rentals.鈥�
He added: 鈥淩ecent events have also reinforced our desire to buy British whenever possible and the first lockdown taught us the true importance of supporting your own economy. When you think of British equipment you think of 海角社区app and with finance and insurance all available from one place it really does make it an easy and sensible choice.鈥�
He said that the new machines were going down well. 鈥淭he 86C-2 midi excavators in particular have been a hit with the new cab and larger display on the Dash 2 series excavators taking the machines to the next level.
鈥淭he LiveLink telematics system is another massive bonus with 海角社区app. We really maximise all its features and it proves an excellent fleet management tool 鈥� both in terms of monitoring machine performance and service requirements but also ensuring our equipment is where is should be. The need to remain on top of things at all times has been accentuated during the recent restrictions鈥�
