PLANNING AHEAD
Louis Rayner, National Business Development Director at Sunbelt Rentals, explains how the company’s latest offering aims to meet the demands of the FM and surface preparation industries in 2024.
In the rapidly changing world of FM, 2024 brings a renewed focus on cost management, maintenance efficiency, labour challenges, and sustainability. As the FM industry sets ambitious financial goals for the new fiscal year, the pressure to reduce capital expenditure while encouraging business growth intensifies.
In this dynamic environment, a question emerges, how can we guarantee that our fleets remain not only cost- efficient but also flexible to meet the evolving demands of the industry? To address this and with an aim to achieve this balance, we turn our attention to our latest product offering, Flooring Solutions, which was launched in October 2023.
This strategic move aims to meet the demands of the FM and surface preparation industries, while providing a reliable, cost-effective alternative to the traditional equipment ownership model.
So, let’s take a closer look at how this can support wider business growth in 2024.
Cost - A balancing act Costs are crucial in any business. To ensure the right fleet at the right time without compromising the bottom line, collaboration with a dedicated team of experts is essential.

ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. Collaborating with a dedicated team possessing extensive industry knowledge enables us to provide the best floor preparation, maintenance, and cleaning equipment.
The flexibility of rental agreements allows businesses to adjust their fleet and upgrade equipment in response to shifting demands and technological advancements, keeping you at the industry forefront without the burden of purchasing new equipment.
Maintenance and storage - A costly
necessity Maintaining and storing fleets can pose a significant financial burden on businesses, impacting their ability to recoup expenses through contracts. The ongoing debate between renting and buying equipment often underestimates the advantages of renting. Choosing to rent equipment results in financial savings, access to the best equipment, and spending flexibility for businesses.
Equipment purchased outright and utilised less than 65% of the time risks becoming idle, leading to additional repair costs. Businesses must either employ in-house engineers or allocate funds for independent mechanics to address breakdowns.
Flexible rental agreements include maintenance services reducing the operational cost, ensuring that the equipment is in good condition and minimising downtime. Sunbelt
