Hire equipment orders

What to consider before ordering MRES hire equipment. And how to order hire equipment and view a report of all your hire equipment orders in the MRES App.

Sometimes it may seem easier to hire equipment for a short period. But it's important to consider purchasing of equipment rather than hire as a cost-effective solution.

Short term equipment checklist

If you answer 'yes' to any of the questions below it is appropriate to proceed with purchase or to re-issue equipment with a recall date.

• Is the equipment on the ACC list?
• Is there a re-issue item available? (check equipment inventory in MRES app)
• Is the proposed equipment for hire likely to be re-issued to another client?
• Is hire needed longer than 3 months?
• Is the anticipated total cost of hire more than purchase?

If none of these apply, then generally it is appropriate to proceed with hire.

Note: Hire equipment can also be considered if urgent and available faster than purchase.
