1.) Know Your Rig
There are many brands and forms of equipment when it comes to spray foam rigs. Whether you own one yourself and work in spray foam insulation rentals, or are looking to hire a contractor to do the work for you, you have to know what to look for. Different jobs require different setups, and you do not want to be caught hiring someone who does not have everything they need to get the job done, nor do you want to spend too much renting equipment that will not even get touched the entire time it is in your possession.
2.) Be Prepared
When deciding to invest in spray foam insulation rental, you have to be ready to store your items. Without proper storage, your equipment is likely to malfunction due to lack or protection from the elements. Spray foam machine costs remain relatively low, so there is no sense in forcing your expense to skyrocket just because you do not have anywhere to put the kit after deciding to rent it for whichever period of time you decide.
3.) Get Trained on Proper Use
Nothing will stop you more quickly than not knowing what you are doing. It is far better to get the job done right the first time than to spend two or three more times trying to fix a problem that never should have existed. The proper use and maintenance of your kit will vary from job to job, so if you are planning on becoming a professional, or just fixing up a few things around the house, it is always best to spend some time and money now to save yourself a lot of it down the road.
4.) Know Your Customers
If you are working in more of a freelance style and going from small job to small job, then there is no need to break bank on a ton of fancy and fun — yet entirely unnecessary — equipment. You do not want to waste your time trying to pay back your debt on these items, when you very well may not end up using some of them. It is always a safe bet to get a smaller kit when you are first starting out, and work from there
If, on the other hand, you are a larger business just in the need of revamping your spray foam insulation rental company, these more advanced rigs may be exactly what you need.
5.) Replace Parts as Soon as They Need Changing
This final tip is mostly common sense, but you always have to fix your equipment as soon as it breaks. The longer you wait to fix the problem the worse and worse it will become, so prolonging the inevitable is a costly mistake. It is in no way a good idea, and it very likely to impact the quality of the jobs done while using that equipment. But, when kept under a watchful eye, many issues can be spotted and taken care of before they ever become an impactful issue.
