Do you perform the right maintenance on each piece of equipment? I had made the mistake of using outdated equipment in my CNC machine shop.

Top Questions To Ask When Renting Scaffolding
Eddie Barnes
If you are going to be renting scaffolding sometime soon, you might be a bit curious about how the rental process is going to go. When you find an equipment rental company that rents out scaffolding, you will want to ask a few questions. Then, you can make sure that you rent the right scaffolding, and you can help ensure that you have the best possible rental experience, without having to worry about any unpleasant surprises.
How Tall Is It?
The whole reason why you are probably planning on renting scaffolding in the first place is probably that you want to be able to work at higher heights. Because of this, you should think about the heights that you will need to be able to comfortably and easily reach with the scaffolding in order to work on your project. Then, you can make sure that the scaffold that you rent is tall enough for your needs. Luckily, many scaffolding rental companies offer scaffolding of different heights, so finding a suitable rental should be pretty easy.
What Is the Weight Limit?
Scaffolds do have weight limits. You will probably want to ask about this. Then, you can make sure that the scaffold can accommodate your weight or the weight of those who will be using the scaffolding in addition to any tools or materials that you will need to bring onto the scaffolding.
Will It Be Delivered?
If you have your own utility trailer, you may be able to pick up and haul the scaffolding yourself, depending on its size. However, many scaffolding rental companies do offer delivery and pickup services for their customers, which can make things more convenient, especially if you don't already have a truck and utility trailer.
What Is the Rental Rate?
Renting scaffolding can be a lot more affordable than buying it. Still, you will probably want to inquire about the rental rate that you will be charged, based on the number of days that you will be renting the scaffolding. Additionally, you may want to ask about the deposit that you will need to put up, if applicable.
Has the Scaffold Been Inspected?
Scaffolds can make it much easier and safer to work at heights. However, if the scaffold is not in good condition, it can actually be quite dangerous. Therefore, you will want to rent a scaffold from a company that performs regular inspections on their equipment, including before sending it out to be rented by another person. Even if the company did perform an inspection of the scaffold, however, you should make sure to check it over carefully before putting it to use as well, just in case.
