Operational Details
Small equipment rental employers typically rent light duty equipment and supplies to home owners and small contractors.

Equipment rentals may include: garden tools, home improvement hand and power tools, lawn maintenance equipment, including lawnmowers, office machines, chemical toilets, fridge dollies and ladders, etc.

Light construction equipment may also be rented including: compactors, tampers, drills, scaffolding,
post hole augers etc.

Household rentals can include: dishes, serving pots and pans, warming and convection ovens, freezers, furniture, TV sets, and household appliances.

Large inventories are kept of the more popular rented items and integral to the operations is the serviceability of the inventory. It is common for one of the store personnel to specialize in repairing and maintaining returned rentals so they are kept in circulation. Some soldering or light welding may be undertaken to complete the repairs and general clean up of equipment.

When major repairs are required, the equipment is sent out to a machine, welding or equipment repair business.

Incidentally employers in this industry may rent out trailers and carts for hauling sand etc.
