Renting a Rig When Yours Is Down
How Foamix rig rental works when your equipment can't be fixed on-site in time.
When your rig can't be fixed on-site in time, rental keeps the job moving instead of rescheduling the crew and the customer — and a missed day rarely comes back.
A rental rig is already dialed in: a known proportioner, heated hoses sized for your output, a generator, and material you're already running. You show up, spray, and return it.
What a good rental includes: a pre-rental walkthrough so you know the rig's quirks, a full tank of material (or a clear refuel policy), spare packings and filters, a tested gun and hose, and a support number in case something drifts.
Most rentals go by the day or the week, with a deposit and a damage waiver. Daily is for a single job; weekly makes sense if your rig is down for repairs.
Book it the moment you know your rig is down — rental availability disappears fast in season, and the crews that call first are the ones still spraying.
