Mouritsen has an extensive rental fleet of specialized equipment for harsh environments. Renting specialized equipment rather than buying and owning has several significant advantages both financially and environmentally. You can read more about the benefits below.

• Cost savings : Renting handheld Ex tools and other ATEX-approved equipment can significantly reduce initial costs. Equipment like this often requires large investments, and equipment rental can be a good alternative as it can free up capital for other important projects. By renting the equipment, you only pay for the time it is used. It's also easier to allocate the cost of the investment directly to the individual project.

• Flexibility : Rental agreements allow you to choose the most relevant equipment for the specific project without committing to long-term investments. This is a great advantage as the needs for tools for use in ATEX zones can vary greatly depending on the nature of the project. In other words, you get the right equipment for each task.

• Maintenance and support: Mouritsen specialises in ATEX and Ex equipment and therefore provides maintenance and support as part of the rental agreement. This helps ensure that the equipment always complies with strict safety standards and that it functions optimally, which is crucial in potentially hazardous environments.

• Access to new technology : Renting allows you to always use the latest and most appropriate equipment for the task and project at hand. This improves both safety and operational efficiency. An important advantage in an industry where technological developments are rapid and influential.

• Risk management : In a sector where regulations and standards are changing, rental agreements help mitigate the risk of long-term financial commitments on equipment that may become obsolete or no longer fulfil requirements. At the same time, renting equipment is an effective way to reduce resource consumption as equipment is used for longer and for the right purpose.

• Tax benefits : Rental costs for Ex and ATEX equipment can often be deducted as operating costs. This can be more tax-efficient than depreciation on purchased assets, which for specialized equipment can be complex.

• Storage space: Equipment hire removes the need to store equipment between projects. Equipment storage can be a logistical challenge, especially when it comes to safely storing sensitive equipment. In addition, much equipment requires ongoing servicing and recertification to be used in ATEX zones, for example. By renting your equipment from Mouritsen, you are sure to always receive maintained, quality equipment where you need it.

• Scalability: Rental allows you to quickly adapt to changes in demand or project needs. This is essential in the energy sector, where projects often vary in size and complexity.

By renting Ex calibration tools, personal gas detectors, and lighting and communication equipment for use in ATEX zones, companies can ensure they have the right equipment to comply with safety standards while benefiting from financial flexibility and technological innovation. Last but not least, renting equipment results in better resource utilization than ownership.
