Why buy when you can hire?
TODAY, TECHNOLOGY IS advancing at a remarkable pace. For the customers of test equip- ment hire company Inlec, this makes life easier as it introduces more efficient ways of conducting tests and undertaking the com- missioning of installations. The downside of this development, however, is that test equipment becomes obsolete very quickly. With the increasing cost of equipment and the increasing variety of tools needed to maintain or commission installations, it means that capital investment in expen- sive equipment rapidly turns into very expensive doorstops. According to Inlec there are five good reasons why you should consider hiring your test equipment rather than purchasing it outright. Firstly, there’s no waiting for delivery from the manufacturer - Inlec promises next day delivery. Secondly, why not try before you buy? An inappropriate purchase may be difficult to live down. Thirdly, you don’t have the worry of maintenance and cali-
bration. Fourth, hired equip- ment can come to your aid while your own capital equipment is being repaired. Finally, and rather impor-
tantly, you get the latest technol- ogy so you avoid that expensive obsolescence trap.
Inlec is offering a ten percent discount on any hire agreement if the enquirer quotes this article by name within 60 days of publica- tion. This offer is limited to one agreement per company. To read the full story visit
