Analytical or lab balance equipment is an important part of many businesses today. If you must use sensitive measuring tools, you may need to buy several balances. However, professional balances are expensive and renting (instead of buying) is a good option. Here are some things to consider, before you spend your money.
Purchasing Benefits
When you buy equipment, you own it. It is yours to alter or change any way you like. You’ll enjoy a factory warranty on your scales and an extended warranty for added costs.
Rental Benefits
Renting your equipment can cut your lab balance costs considerably. For example, highly sensitive microbalances can cost more than twenty thousand dollars. When you need more than one device, this can put a serious dent in your operating budget. If you rent, you only pay a small monthly rental fee, and you can save a lot of your capital for other things.
Price is important for another reason. Suppose you want several balances in your lab. Renting saves you a great deal of money, and you enjoy the benefits of new equipment in your lab.
More Advantages of Renting
Renting is the most convenient way to get lab equipment. In fact, when you need a lab balance for a short time, it’s the best option. For example, you may only need the equipment four times a year for inventory or during times of peak production. Your scales professionals offer rentals by the day, week, month, and long-term leasing plans.
Lease-to-Own
Suppose you need new analytical scales but don’t want to buy new ones. Lease-to-own programs give you the chance to try the scales for as long as you like. If you want t own the equipment, a percentage of your rental payments goes towards the costs. Also, your weighing equipment specialists offer complete services, including installation, calibration, and repairs.
