New technology is the primary force behind the construction industry's evolution over the last several years. Heavy equipment now comes to the rental and purchase markets fitted with technology for accuracy, efficiency, safety and productivity. For example, telematics can monitor the machine's status to simplify fleet management.

The Cat® Rental Store is committed to helping clients resolve their industry challenges through technology for construction. We have equipment from Caterpillar that feature innovative construction technology.

BENEFITS OF RENTING TECHNOLOGY FOR CONSTRUCTION

The construction industry is highly competitive, and using technology at the job site is the best way to gain an edge over others in the market. By improving your processes and projects with new technology, you can:

  • Use new features: Because rental dealers tend to keep their fleets built out with newer equipment, you can take advantage of the technological advancements in construction when you rent, making your operations safer and more fuel-efficient.
  • Try before you buy: Renting your machine is the first step to ownership and allows you to try the equipment's technology before deciding if you want to commit to a purchase.
  • Save money: Renting equipment with new technology provides the opportunity to use it without the financial investment of adding the machine to your inventory.
  • Complete jobs quickly: Rental equipment with advanced tech features helps crews work more efficiently and finish projects faster.
