Construction continues to operate amid the current pandemic in many states.  We understand these are dire times and committing to a new machine purchase is probably not the wisest decision right now.  However, the construction industry is an ‘Essential’ business, and construction projects must remain in operation until completion.  So if purchasing a new machine is not the greatest option right now, renting construction equipment is a great alternative.

Local Business Climate

Many local businesses remain open and are offering heavy equipment rentals.  In fact, businesses like Sonsray Rentals have simply gone above and beyond their typical processes with sanitizing rental returns.  Sonsray Rentals has multiple locations in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.  They are taking the necessary precautionary measures to protect the health of its customers and employees.  “Safety is of upmost importance as we continue to provide equipment for rental and services”, says Matt Moses, Vice-President of Sonsray Rentals.

As the COVID-19 outbreak spreads, the construction industry is on high alert. The coronavirus has delayed supply chains from Asia and around the world.  This means importing steel or parts may become more and more difficult for manufacturers.  If you’re in the middle of a construction project and one of your machines goes down, contact your local rentals company who is still renting construction equipment.  Full service rental companies have large machines like an excavator for rent or smaller machines for landscape projects.  Don’t let downtime hurt your business or delay your construction project.
