What’s The Trend of the Philippines Heavy Equipment Rental Industry?

The trend of renting instead of purchasing heavy machinery has proven to be beneficial for companies of all sizes across numerous industries, less administrative overhead along with reduced expense and maintenance anticipated to drive the Philippines heavy equipment rental industry during Covid-19.

To what extent is the Covid-19-induced recession impacting rental industry in the Philippines?

The coronavirus pandemic has led to an immediate drop in purchasing spending from the aviation industry, industrial, construction, transportation & government project spending. They have to deal with the budgetary needs while their business to a halt for lost demand (or purchasing power) by the onslaught of the pandemic. The rental rates of the Philippine rental equipment market have down slightly in 2020-2021. At the same time, however, the disruption of the pandemic is giving rise to new opportunities, and the rental market has the chance to establish a firstmover advantage as the customers rent the equipment instead of purchasing new one more than ever before.

The rental equipment market can be segmented on the basis of type (Party and Event equipment, General Tools & Construction and Industrial Equipment) and industry (Oil & Gas Industry, Construction Industry, Mining Industry & Power Industry). The construction and Industrial rental equipment market can be further segmented on the basis of type (Earthmoving Machinery, Material Handling Machinery, MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) and Concrete Road Construction).

Let’s take a look with us at Rental’s role through three of the most significant advantages:

Rental Advantage #1 – Cash Flow Management 

One of rental’s biggest impacts is flexibility in managing cash flow. Payments on a purchased machine must be made whether the machine is being used or not. If available jobs shift and the machine is no longer needed, it can quickly become a troubling liability. When the backlog is uncertain, rental eliminates the capital investment required for a purchase and contractors can return unneeded machines if jobs change.

Rental Advantage #2 – Nimble Equipment Fleet 

Speaking of jobs changing, that same flexibility allows for quick restructuring of an equipment fleet. Part of the creative adaptation to uncertainty means contractors may look to take on different types of jobs, ones they may not have historically pursued. Often, this may mean acquiring equipment not typically found in the fleet. By augmenting a fleet with rental machines, equipment can be swapped and added quickly while tying up less cash than in an entirely owned fleet.

Rental Advantage #3 – Renting to Own 

Even amid uncertainty, thinking strategically means looking beyond just today. With many rental providers offering rent-to-purchase options, contractors can manage through short-term uncertainty while still adhering to a long-term plan. If the odds are likely that a rented machine will be purchased later, terms and pricing can be built into the rental agreement, allowing customers to invest in the eventual purchase while renting the machine.

Having been in the Philippines rental market for over 7 years and experience from the large mother company in Japan for more than 60 years, Mayon Machinery has made a commitment to deliver the highest quality of equipment and the best service to ensure your complete satisfaction.

MEWPs Effect On The Philippines Rental Market

Before MEWPs (AWPs), scaffolding was the main form of a solution on a worksite in the construction, petrochemical, and industrial sectors when working at height. Today, the rise of new and cutting-edge technology is advancing construction equipment to more modern and safe, enabling better quality work, along with timely completion of projects.

 

MEWPs have a number of advantages over scaffolding systems:
  • A self-propelled MEWP can be driven to the worksite to begin work. Scaffolding must be manually transported to the worksite after curbside delivery and may require coordination with a third party that specializes in the erecting/dismantling of scaffolding systems.
  • MEWPs allow for most jobs to be completed in the same or less time, with fewer workers than scaffolding requires. The less time the workers have to spend assembling, climbing up while carrying tools/supplies, and navigating around scaffolding, the more time, energy, and productivity are focused on getting the actual project done.
  • MEWPs are highly maneuverable and can reach restricted areas efficiently where scaffolding simply can’t get to.
  • MEWPs provide guardrail systems that are meant to support fall protection measures and differ from scaffolding in that it provides the safety that moves with the operator/occupants.
  • A major benefit of self-propelled lifts is their ability to work every terrain and job site but not scaffolding.

Therefore, MEWPs are the cheaper, safer, and more efficient alternative to consider making the switch to such traditional methods.

What happens if the machine stops working? Will they fail to deliver the machine at the expense of my construction project? What about after-sales services?”. Those questions are the customer’s concerns nowadays. With long experience in Japan, MAYON assures to offer our customers in the Philippines 24/7 support throughout the entire rental/sales process.
