Case Study: a Canadian energy company boosts productivity and cuts tool costs with United Rentals managed tool trailer

One Global Canadian Energy Company stays 13% under budget with United Rentals

A Canadian energy company faced the challenge of managing a complex, large-scale refinery shutdown with an expanded scope due to a COVID-19 postponement. They needed to eliminate tool waste, avoid unnecessary capital expenses, and maintain high productivity. To meet this challenge, they partnered with vendor United Rentals for a managed tool trailer service.

United Rentals implemented an on-site tool trailer with a dedicated coordinator and barcode tracking technology. This lean, managed solution provided the right tools at the right time, dramatically reducing waste. The project came in 13% under its already reduced $600,000 budget, achieving significant cost savings and a major boost in productivity for the customer.
