Sometimes it may seem easier to hire equipment for a short period. But it's important to consider purchasing equipment rather than hiring as a cost-effective solution.
Short-term equipment checklist
If you answer 'yes' to any of the questions below it is appropriate to proceed with purchase or to re-issue equipment with a recall date.
Is the equipment on the ACC list?
Is there a re-issue item available? (check equipment inventory in the MRES app)
Is the proposed equipment for hire likely to be re-issued to another client?
Is the hire needed longer than 2 months?
Is the anticipated total cost of hiring more than the purchase?
If none of these applies, then it is appropriate to proceed with the hire.
Note: Hire equipment can also be considered if urgent and available faster than purchase.
