Construction equipment rental – contractor projects cost time

Excavator rented for 3 months to a contractor, 6 daily inquiries, 12 machines on-site. OneRental keeps a machine card with engine hours and fuel and bills monthly with automatic accruals. Automatic telematics (Webfleet, Mapon, Geotab) is on the roadmap.

Monday 7 AM at the yard

A contractor calls – the JCB JS220 excavator rented 3 weeks ago at a Kraków housing project needs a swap in 14 days. You open the machine card: 287 engine hours from the last reading (above the 250-hour service threshold), the assigned site, last fuel-up 4 days ago. You plan the swap: a spare JS220 sits at the yard, transport scheduled for next Monday 8 AM, transport cost added as an invoice line item. At 10 another contractor sends an online quote request for a road roller for 4 days – available, quote sent in 3 minutes.

Three construction-rental pains

  • Pain

    Monthly invoices for 1–6 month contracts – manual, error-prone.

    Fix

    Monthly auto-billing per contract, engine hours from hour-meter, transfer and service rolled in.

    Feature: Monthly auto-billing per contract

  • Pain

    Tracking 12+ machines on-site without GPS.

    Fix

    Each machine card holds its assigned site, engine hours, and fuel from the last reading. Automatic Webfleet / Mapon / Geotab integration is on the roadmap.

    Feature: Machine card (telematics on the roadmap)

  • Pain

    Service plan – which equipment needs service in 50 hours?

    Fix

    Per-machine hour-meter threshold; once a reading above the threshold is logged, the machine gets a service alert and a rental block.

    Feature: Service threshold tracking

Which plan fits
