Rental equipment runs on uptime.

In the highly competitive world of industrial equipment rental, excellent technical support and parts availability isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a necessity.


 

 

“Rental companies must have a robust, dependable, support model in place to ensure their rented equipment operates efficiently and without issue, enabling the end customer to get the job done,” explains Corey Berry, Perkins rental sales manager, adding: “And the Perkins Rental Support Programme does just that.”
 

Together, we power ahead

With more than 5,000 machine types powered globally – from generators, air compressors, excavators, dewatering pumps and more – Perkins understands the demands of rental. Our engines span 4 to 2088 kW (5 to 2,800 hp) and meet the toughest emissions standards, making them an ideal fit for rental fleets.

Each engine is supported by a global network of distributors in 184 countries who provide the parts, service and support to keep machines running no matter the application. When rental houses choose a Perkins-powered machine they can be assured of its reliability, productivity and return on investment.
 

The Perkins Rental Support Programme

In the rental business, downtime isn’t just inconvenient – it’s costly. That’s why Perkins is focused on helping rental companies keep their fleets on rent and ready to go, with reliable engines and easy access to the support they need.

“Designed specifically for rental fleets, the Perkins Rental Support Programme makes it easy to keep machines ready to rent,” explains Corey. “The programme enables the rental fleet owner to quickly find essential parts and service information for their engine fleet, enabling rental companies to maximise uptime, expedite return to ready and establish a clear line of communication for support.”

The programme provides access to engine manuals, tooling and online training for rental technicians. These tools give technicians the ability to maintain, diagnose and repair Perkins engines in their fleet anytime and anywhere.

Members get quick access to:

  • Perkins® Rental HUB – A one-stop portal for parts, service info, training, and technical resources.
  • Online Service Training – Courses for technicians covering everything from basic maintenance to advanced diagnostics.
  • Operation & Maintenance Manuals – Available 24/7 to help techs troubleshoot and repair engines fast.

“Collaborating with Perkins provides numerous benefits, including expert support, cutting-edge technology, reliability, customised solutions and reduced downtime,” adds Corey.

“Rental companies rely heavily on diesel-powered equipment, and we’re committed to supporting them with quality products and responsive service,” says Corey. “We’ve built programmes like the Rental Support Programme to help rental fleets stay productive and profitable.

“When it comes to powering rental machines, what’s inside matters. Choosing Perkins means choosing a partner that’s invested in your success.”
