5 Benefits of Mining Equipment Hire

Deciding whether or not to purchase that new piece of mining equipment is a tough decision. Not only do you have to factor in the upfront cost of the equipment, you need to think about the length of the particular project, the maintenance and transport costs and whether you’ll be able to sell the mining equipment and recoup your investment once you no longer need it. Sounds like a lot of hassle doesn’t it?

Here we take a look at the top 5 benefits of mining equipment hire rather than buying, to assist your heavy equipment needs.

1. No large upfront investment
There really is no such thing as cheap mining equipment. Buying earthmoving equipment is a large investment that your business cannot always comfortably afford at the time the investment is required. Mining equipment hire is an obvious advantage as you won’t need to make that considerable upfront investment in order to acquire mining equipment.

2. No maintenance costs
Owning a piece of heavy equipment is a long-term investment in terms of on-going maintenance and repair costs. When you hire your mining equipment you avoid the risk of expensive breakdowns and all of the costs involved in the upkeep of the equipment. Aside from saving you money, this gives you better peace of mind, knowing that the mining equipment you have hired has been maintained well.

3. Access to the latest technology
With the constant advances in technology across all types of industries, there is a need to upgrade your mining equipment to the newest and most improved version to ensure efficiency. Mining equipment hire ensures that you have access to the latest equipment available on the market, as a business specialising in equipment rental will constantly re-invest in and upgrade their fleet of equipment.

4. Meet the changing needs of the industry
We all have witnessed the changing landscape of the mining industry in WA, which has had varied effects on industry players. When times are tough or in those situations when demand peaks, you want to be able to seize the opportunity, don’t you? Mining equipment hire is a flexible solution that can help you to meet the changing needs of the mining industry.

5. Access to expert advice
Customer service teams at reputable mining equipment rental companies are always on-hand to give advice on the type of mining equipment required for your particular project.

Whether you are supplementing an existing fleet of mining equipment during peak periods, need project based mining equipment or you are simply wanting to try a piece of machinery before making the decision to invest or not, mining equipment hire is an easy, safe and cost-effective decision.

New Service Module

The Viper, Action Mining Service’s (AMS) revolutionary service module, was launched on Friday 30th May 2013 at the AMS workshop. The Viper 15,000 will forever change customer expectations of a service module’s safety and flexibility. The Viper’s new modular system gives customers the flexibility to exchange modules as quickly as demand changes.

General Manager at AMS, Rob Poggioli, said that moving the Viper to a new site with specific lubrication needs is no longer an issue.

“The Viper is designed for customer’s to simply change the modules to suit their specific requirements. If a module is damaged in use, our customers can very simply replace it with minimal down time and cost. Safety is the Viper’s priority and it is fitted with standard controls to ensure each user’s safety, something a service module was not previously able to do.” Rob said.

The event was attended by a number of clients, suppliers and media. The guests were treated to a full demonstration of the Viper’s most sought-after functions and tours of the AMS workshop.
