Derek Cashmore, national sales director for Cooper Equipment Rentals, has been renting equipment to Canadian construction contractors for a long time. In that time, he’s watched – and helped drive – the emergence of specialized divisions within rental companies designed to give contractors the tools and advice they need to overcome special challenges. In this Get More From Your Rental Store special podcast, Cashmore and Canadian Contractor editor, Patrick Flannery, talk about trenching and the need for enhanced safety precautions; construction heat and humidity control and how poorly understood that is; the need for constant inspection and certification of aerial lifts and how onerus that can be for an owner; the challenges of rightsizing a pump for a particular dewatering application; and much more.
