Compaction equipment rental businesses are in line to sustain in this tough construction market. Due to the rapid tech advancement in the equipment industry, compaction rental businesses have also alerted the industry experts. They are focusing and urging the rentals to stay up to date about each new trend that is taking over the market. Apart from many integral tech advancements, few of them are leading in the compaction market.

Battery-powered systems in advanced compaction equipment

According to industry experts, the competition trends are rapidly evolving and making it tough for rental businesses to meet the race. Some rapidly prevailing trends are on the head and electric-driven equipment leading the list.

In this tech advancement, the battery system is getting new technology to run the equipment and its components. These battery-powered compact equipment are in more demand at rentals because of their fuel efficiency and better performance. Furthermore, the capacity to work several terrains is also extended and they can easily fit into compact construction job sites. Battery-powered compactors are perfect for interior use and regulatory compliance since they provide features like quick power, precise speed control, and lower emissions.

A Compaction expert at Dynapac, Eric Booth puts his thoughts on this recent trend that although electric machines have greater initial expenses, they can be more reasonably priced through voucher systems and incentives. Their appeal is further enhanced by the lower expenses of operation and maintenance.

SEISMIC technology optimizing compaction efficiency

Another groundbreaking and most useful tech is using SEISMIC tech during the compaction work. With this tech, the operator can bring accuracy and precision in the compaction using the frequency released. The use of SEISMIC technology optimizes the compaction process by automatically figuring out the ideal frequency for the material being compacted.

According to Eric Booth, the SEISMIC technology reduces the number of passes required to get the desired density with the help of a sensor inside the drum that operates with the material’s natural frequency.

To put it another way, according to Booth, compaction is the process of eliminating air spaces from any substance, be it mud, asphalt, or soil. SEISMIC technology can help operators save time, money, and fuel for construction companies by lowering the number of passes. This automatic system enables the machine to perform perfect measures at once which reduces the chances of wear and tear in the compaction equipment. The less requirement of the maintenance further reduces the upkeep expenses making the equipment more cost-effective.

Affordability and simplicity

Simple, affordable compaction equipment is still in trend despite the massive involvement of technology in compaction equipment. However, the technology infusions make the equipment more efficient but the conventional equipment like rollers won’t leave its place for many years to come.

Experts thinks that the nostalgic attachment is another factor but people do not want to compromise and leave their old practices in many cases. Although the number of such clients are less but it still affects the market. In coming days, when the equipment industry will be electrified completely, they will be forced to adopt the tech. The rental business owners will have to understand that transforming with the trend is the only way to stay positioned in the construction market. Whether you put your used Track excavator on rent or give it for sale, you must know that the latest, affordable, and efficient equipment will clear up the inventory sooner than the older ones.

A Closure

Even if equipment with SEISMIC enhancements and battery power is more efficient and complies with regulations, traditional compact equipment like rollers continue to be important because of their user-friendliness and reliability. In order to serve both early adopters and traditionalists, rental companies must strike a balance between preserving reliable equipment and embracing front-line technologies as the industry transitions to full electrification. Only this way, rental companies will be able to secure their place in the market.
