Case Study: CS Welding achieves less downtime and safer fleet maintenance with United Rentals Customer Equipment Solutions

CS Welding cuts downtime with United Rentals CES and same-day or next-day support

CS Welding, a Canadian structural steel fabrication company, faced a significant challenge in maintaining preventative maintenance, repairs, and inspections for its highly mobile fleet of equipment like boom lifts and telehandlers across vast distances. This task was outside their core expertise and was made more difficult as the fleet constantly moved between job sites. They partnered with United Rentals and its Customer Equipment Solutions (CES) service to address this burden.

United Rentals' CES provided onsite and in-shop preventative maintenance and timely repairs performed by factory-trained technicians. This solution minimized operational downtime, as demonstrated by a rapid repair of a telehandler three hours from the shop. The partnership allowed CS Welding to offload the entire maintenance burden, improve operational efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and focus on its core business, ultimately saving significant downtime and ensuring equipment was always safe and operational.
