It makes sense to rent

October 25, 2011

Now more than ever it makes sense in terms of time, cost and fit for purpose to rent your environmental monitoring equipment.  At Van Walt we know better than most that sometimes equipment fails, or you have an urgent project you can’t turn away or you just need that vital piece of equipment to do a job and it’s not in your stockroom or already out on a project.

This is where we can help.  We have one of the largest, most comprehensive environmental rental fleets incorporating pumps, meters, samplers and remediation equipment.  We have recently added to the range Aquaread™ water quality test equipment that includes the measurement of turbidity as standard and the latest Bladder Pump with optional auto shut-off, ideal for low flow sampling.

When you hire equipment from us you know it has been cleaned, calibrated and checked for immediate out-of-box performance. No waiting around onsite checking the equipment works, no making do i.e. using a bailer rather than a state-of-the-art peristaltic pump and security of results – we now do a check on return to confirm the equipment is conforming to acceptable measurement parameters – therefore corroborating your own data accuracy. And, in the event the equipment lets you down, we will have a replacement onsite the next day.

What we do warn our customers is that if your project is time critical and you have invested in people to be on site at a certain time to carry out the monitoring then place your order in good time.  Although we provide next day delivery we cannot guarantee before 9am, it’s better to have you equipment a day earlier to ensure there is no lost time on site. If you let us know when an item is time critical we can usually accommodate delivery earlier at no additional cost – we  don’t charge rental fees on items in transit.

Also new to Van Walt Rental is Gary House who joins the team  with vast experience in precision engineering, warehousing, logistics and stores. You can get hold of Gary by email: gary@vanwalt.com . A full library of useful technical  information relating to our rental fleet can be found at https://www.vanwalt.com/useful-information-sheets.html  from PID Correction factors to Reporting Redox Correctly – a valuable source of practical, helpful information.
