Carrier Rentals now provides cooling, heating, dehumidification and power generation equipment to food companies looking to fill the gap without a big investment.

The various equipment rental items offered by Carrier Rental Systems through its US and international locations can help food firms wrestle with warehouse refrigeration, process cooling, environmental temperature control, and backup heating and cooling. Moisture control and dehumidification products can help reduce the presence of condensation, mold, and mildew; the company also provides pest control and backup power items.

Short-term solution

Tremper Longman, marketing analyst for Carrier Rental Systems, told Food Production Daily that food processing firms can benefit from renting, rather than buying, equipment when items are only needed for short-term solutions.

Renting is preferable to buying when equipment is needed quickly or for a short period of time​,” he said. “Outages, emergencies, supplemental cooling/heating during peak production times, storage and manufacturing, expansion, preventative maintenance, possible tax incentive to rent versus purchase, lack of capital for investment in a new HVAC system are all reasons to rent versus buy​.”

International service

The firm is headquartered in Connecticut but operates in more than 170 countries. Companies needing rental equipment call the company via phone or through a technical sales representative. Service is available 24/7, and the company handles trucking of equipment from its regional depots to the customer’s location.

Once the equipment is delivered, the rental company’s staff can take care of setup, startup, maintenance, takedown and return of equipment. The firm also offers round-the-clock service, as well as technical and engineering support, as needed for the rental term.
