There are many advantages of renting a hazmat locker as opposed to purchasing one. Before deciding which choice is more advantageous to your business, carefully consider your needs. Every workflow or job process is unique.
When renting is smarter, cheaper…
Workforces that frequently change job-sites, such as construction contractors and painting crews, would probably not benefit from the purchase of a chemical storage locker because they would have to frequently move it. And since every job-site is different, your storage needs would change as well. Just because one particular job-site requires fire-rated storage protection for large quantities of fuel doesn’t mean the next job will, too. So, the question remains: why would you purchase a specific storage locker if your needs will change that frequently?
Same protection and peace of mind
To cut-down on overhead expenses, it may behoove you to consider renting hazmat lockers for individual jobs or extended periods of time. With our rental option, you get the same level of protection as you would if you purchased one, but at a cheaper rate.
No job is too small for superior protection
At this point, you might be thinking, ‘Why rent a hazmat locker at all? Why not create my own makeshift storage for each job?’ Unfortunately, this type of circular reasoning could result in hefty fines from the EPA, OSHA and other governmental agencies. Regardless of how small a job is, improper protection can cost big. It’s far better to invest in protection today than to have to dish out thousands of dollars in the future from lawsuits and civil fines.
