Three factors to consider when purchasing from Piling Equipment Ltd
It’s inevitable that at some point in time, a drilling contractor will need to purchase a new piling rig or upgrade their existing machinery. A new purchase may come to fruition due to a multitude of factors such as project diversification, environmental compliance or company expansion. Buying a new machine or upgrading any equipment definitely has a financial, social and environmental implication, although the justification for the purchase is completely valid, it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons and think about various factors. We’ve listed a few note-worthy pre-purchase considerations here:
Project Purpose: A key consideration to take into account prior to your commitment to purchase, is what kind of rig are you thinking of acquiring and why. What are the key capabilities you require from a new piece of machinery? It’s important to consider the type of projects your latest edition is likely to be working on. Whether that’s on sites with limited access or those with tricky ground conditions, taking variables like these into account before you purchase should ensure you select the rig that’s going to add value and the right kind of diversification to your fleet.
