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.”

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.

  • Getting equipment for projects that cover long distances
  • Avoiding downtime while waiting on equipment

THE GOAL

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.
