CASE STUDY: MANUFACTURING

MINIMIZING DOWNTIME

Frequent challenges include:

  • Lost production time
  • Lead time for permanent solutions
  • Vendor response time
  • Identifying proper interim equipment solution

THE CHALLENGE

Finding a rental equipment vendor with a prompt response time to keep production moving along. 

THE SOLUTION

One of the greatest challenges companies face when in need of an interim equipment solution is in finding a rental vendor that can accommodate the need in a timely manner. This is particularly important in manufacturing, where a downed piece of equipment can lead to costly lost production time, which is exactly what one Texas-based manufacturing company was facing when they reached out to HOLT Industrial Rentals for a compressed air solution.

Prior to reaching out to HOLT Industrial Rentals, the manufacturing company had placed an equipment order with a well-known rental company; however, the delivery window was too long, and the equipment wouldn’t arrive in time to meet their urgent need. Upon receiving the call from the customer, the HOLT Industrial Rentals team asked some key questions to assess the customer situation and quickly determined that the other rental company was sending them the wrong equipment for the job.   HOLT Industrial Rentals promptly sent an expert technician to visit the manufacturing plant and determined that they needed a1550 oil-free air compressor. 

Thanks to their rapid response time and thorough assessment process the HOLT Industrial Rentals team was able to provide the customer with the proper air compressor, quickly and efficiently, reducing lost production time.

“Our technicians are quick to respond to urgent needs, always starting with a thorough assessment to ensure both efficiency and accuracy.”

–  Matt Hollywood, Regional Sales Representative, HOLT Industrial Rentals

DID YOU
KNOW?

The cost of downtime in manufacturing is among the highest of any industry. In fact, a 2023 study by Aberdeen’s research found that, on average, downtime can cost a manufacturing company $260,000 per hour. Take into account long lead times for an interim rental solution and a company’s financial health can be deeply affected. Whether downtime is planned or unplanned, having a reliable rental partner is a must for companies in this industry.

COMPLETE PACKAGED SOLUTIONS

FREQUENT CHALLENGES:

  • Deliveries to remote locations
  • Receiving deliveries through rough terrain
  • Getting equipment for projects that cover long distances
  • Avoiding downtime while waiting on equipment

THE GOAL

Provide a complete packaged solution to keep operations in remote or difficult
locations on track.

THE SOLUTION

After experiencing difficulties finding a rental company that could deliver to their job sites, a premier provider of asset integrity testing and certification of United States pipelines reached out to HOLT Industrial Rentals for a solution. Services offered by the customer include everything needed for safe and successful gas and oil projects, such as hydrostatic pressure testing, pneumatic pressure testing, pigging, on and offline chemical cleaning and flaring, among other services. With pipeline projects spanning hundreds of miles, often in remote locations with difficult terrain, they needed a reliable partner for temporary rental equipment solutions.

“Packaging our compressors and desiccant dryers with additional fuel tanks, ready
to head out to the pipeline is just scratching the surface on our custom solutions.”
JIM MCNEESE, OUTSIDE SALES REPRESENTATIVE AT HOLT INDUSTRIAL RENTALS

Without delay, HOLT Industrial Rentals sent out an expert technician to walk the site and determine what equipment would be needed. Following the assessment, a complete rental equipment package was assembled, including a Sullair 1600H air compressor, fuel tank, and a desiccant dryer, all delivered on a transportation trailer that the client could move up and down the length of the pipeline for ease of mobility through rough terrain. Seven of these rental equipment packages were delivered by the HOLT Industrial Rentals team across various locations in the pipeline. Having found a reliable rental partner for their pipeline projects, the client continues to call HOLT Industrial Rentals for all of their rental equipment needs.

GROWING INDUSTRIES

FREQUENT CHALLENGES:

  • Lost production time
  • Progress setbacks
  • Maintaining a competitive advantage
  • Finding suitable interim equipment solutions
  • Lead time for permanent solutions

THE GOAL

Minimize downtime and profit loss during an expansion or relocation.

THE SOLUTION

Our client is a pharmaceutical company that creates innovative medicines, which greatly benefit patients, healthcare systems and societies globally.  Due to the critical nature of their products, the manufacturing plant cannot lose power. During their Coppell, TX, expansion project, the Engineering Manager decided a rental power generator was necessary.  Renting equipment allowed them time to review the purchasing options and unit size needed for a permanent stationary generator unit. 

However, the initial power unit they rented from a well-known rental company proved to be unreliable and dangerous to the facility’s internal air quality and production.  The unit created black smoke during each test run, which traveled through the HVAC system of the main building, causing alarms to go off after detecting gas, resulting in unnecessary downtime.

After many failures with the competitor’s generator, their Engineering Manager reached out to HOLT Industrial Rentals for a more reliable and stable solution. The HOLT Industrial Rentals service technicians visited the site and put together a recommended equipment design plan.  The site assessment allowed the team to determine the necessary power, cables, and available space for a custom plan suitable for their needs. The HOLT Industrial Rentals experts then proposed the best course of action, while also taking into consideration safety and optimization of power without any unnecessary risks.

“The cost of an interim rental can often result in greater operational profits due to the lack of downtime and operational uncertainty.”
— BRIAN RICE, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AT HOLT INDUSTRIAL RENTALS

HOLT Industrial Rentals recommended a 1500 kw unit as an interim solution. Keeping the expansion in mind while looking to maximize power, the HOLT Industrial Rentals technicians recommended setting up the generator in a different location than the previous generator.  

Upon delivery of the unit, HOLT Industrial Rentals technicians installed the equipment and ran tests to make sure everything was in proper working order and fit the needs of the client.

The client’s team was very pleased with the unit’s performance and reliability.  They will be renting this power generator for the next 6-12 months and will be using HOLT Industrial Rentals for any future projects.

DID YOU
KNOW?

Expanding or moving often leads to temporary lost production time, which can be very costly to organizations. On average, downtime can cost an organization anywhere from thousands per hour to thousands per minute! In addition to being monetarily expensive, pausing progress, even for a short time, creates greater setbacks. This is especially true for companies in rapidly-evolving industries, such as biotech, where stopping research and development means much more than lost dollars.

TIER 4 POWER GENERATOR

FREQUENT CHALLENGES:

  • Costly equipment upgrades
  • Downtime during transitions
  • Fines while not compliant
  • Lack of capital to purchase 
equipment outright

THE GOAL

Implement equipment in compliance with Tier 4 standards to meet the latest environmental regulations.

THE SOLUTION

A Texas based construction company reached out to HOLT Industrial Rentals for a temporary power solution to support their work at the Grindstone Plant, located outside of Fort Worth, TX. They needed to keep the Grindstone project moving while also abiding by EPA regulations, which would require several Tier 4 generators.

“Waiting for permanent equipment to be up and running would have caused serious delays, making temporary power the most efficient and effective solution.”
BRIAN RICE, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AT HOLT INDUSTRIAL RENTALS

With a wide range of Tier 4 generators, from 30kW-2000kW, as well as the option of an onsite assessment, HOLT Industrial Rentals proved to be the best solution for their dilemma. Following the assessment of the client’s power challenge, the HOLT Industrial Rentals service technician recommended new Tier 4 XQ2250 and Tier 4i 800kw units, as well as 500kw units to keep the Grindstone Plant fully operational.

HOLT Industrial Rentals implemented an EPA compliant solution optimizing capital expenditures. Taking advantage of HOLT Industrial Rentals’ option for long-term rentals, the Grindstone Plant has multiple Tier 4 generators, ranging in output capacity from 200kw – 2000kw. The solution will remain in place for one year to ensure their project is compliant until a more permanent solution is implemented.

DID YOU
KNOW?

As the population of Texas continues to rise, regulations set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have tightened in an effort to limit pollution from increased human activity. One such EPA regulation mandates that diesel generators meet Tier 4 requirements, using Clean Diesel technology. Tier 4, which is the most stringent regulation, requires a 90% reduction in the emission of Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx).
