Areas of application

Rental solutions are always the right choice when reliable measurement or testing technology is needed at short notice. Whether in production, in the warehouse, or for special projects: temporary rental offers the necessary security without tying up capital in the long term.

Production peaks and seasonal demand
When order volumes increase, rental solutions ensure that production and filling processes run reliably. This allows bottlenecks to be bridged without having to invest in additional technology in the long term, for example in the food and beverage industry, in agriculture during harvest time, or in logistics.

Inventories and stock checks
Rental scales are the ideal solution for accurate and efficient inventories. They are available at short notice, deliver precise results, and help to speed up processes in the warehouse or in production. This is a decisive advantage for logistics and shipping centers.

Test runs of new equipment
Before a new production line is permanently launched, rental equipment offers the opportunity to test processes under real conditions. Companies receive reliable data without having to purchase their own equipment immediately. This is an important factor, especially in the proof-of-concept phase.

Bridging the gap during repairs
If a device unexpectedly breaks down, our rental solutions ensure continuous production. This prevents downtime and allows delivery dates to be met until repairs are complete.

Other application scenarios
Our devices also offer a flexible and economical solution for research and development, temporary projects, or trade fair and event appearances.

Additional services

When you rent, you don't just get a device, you get a comprehensive package that makes your everyday work easier. Our additional rental services ensure that you can make optimal use of the technology right from the start and concentrate fully on your processes.

Delivery and collection
We deliver the agreed equipment to the place of use on time and collect it again at the end of the rental period without any hassle.

Training in operation
A brief introduction to commissioning by our experts ensures that your employees can use the scales safely and efficiently right away.

On-site installation
Our technicians can install the system directly at your premises on request.

Customized services
Depending on your requirements, we can provide you with additional accessories or develop a customized solution that is tailored precisely to your application.
