Temporary Fence Rental for Constructions Companies

According to the National Equipment Registry, the cost of equipment theft in the United States is as high as $1 billion annually. Studies have shown that unsecured job sites are one of the leading causes of these losses. 

A properly secured construction site minimizes the chance of theft, keeps the public out, and limits liability. Construction professionals typically look to rental companies to provide them with the temporary alternative to chain-link fence rentals they need to properly secure their job sites. 

If you are a temporary fence rental company, providing innovative temporary fences to your clients that are safe, effective, and easy to use is an important part of making sure they are satisfied customers.

Here are some key things to consider in any temporary fence product for construction companies.

What to Look for in Temporary Fence Products for Construction Clients

Stability

Stability is the most important attribute of any construction temporary fence rental. It’s what keeps the fence in place even in harsh weather conditions or if someone attempts to move it. How easy are your fences to stabilize, and how secure are they once stabilized?

Most current temporary fences in the US are stabilized using sandbags. While cheap and quick, sandbags deteriorate quickly, leading to unstable fences that fall down and sandbags that need to be regularly replaced. This happens more frequently at job sites due to the traffic and movement that comes with the environment.

Falling or unstable fences can create safety and liability issues for both you and the construction company using them.

Climbability 

The main purpose of a construction fence rental is to keep people out—for both safety and theft reasons. How easy are your fences to climb?

Approximately 95% of panels today are constructed using chain-link. Chain-link fences have an aperture of 2.25-2.50 inches, making them relatively easy to climb for children and many adults. 

Construction professionals renting chain-link panels may want to consider additional measures to discourage climbing, such as barbed wire. However, modifications like barbed wire will typically mean additional work both for you and additional cost for the construction company.

Tracking

Do you have a way to easily track the fence panels you rent out to construction companies? 

As a rental company, you understand the importance of being able to track your construction fence rentals, especially for large construction sites over a long period of time. Properly tracking your assets allows you to recoup expenses in the case of lost or stolen goods, forecast equipment needs, and properly manage depreciation schedules.

Storage and transport

Your construction temporary fence rentals are going to be moved around a lot—between your storage facility and your customers’ job sites. How easy are the fence panels you use to set up, tear down, transport, and store?

As mentioned earlier, the vast majority of temporary fence panels today are manufactured using chain-link. It’s common practice to store these panels by stacking them on top of each other. Unfortunately, the nature of chain-link is that the edges are jagged and often become stuck together, making them time-consuming to separate when unloading. The sharp edges can also be a safety hazard to your team and the construction workers. 

Fences that are easier to move and store save both you and your customers time and hassle. 

Maximizing Construction Site Safety

ZNDUS is a global manufacturer of barrier systems that supplies rental companies with state-of-the-art temporary fence products and is currently expanding into the US. Our products are specifically engineered to address many of the issues with most current temporary fence products, especially for construction sites. 

Most manufacturing for temporary fence panels in the US is completed manually—tubes are cut and welded and chain-link is attached to the frame of the panel all by hand. 

At ZNDUS, we build our panels on a fully-automated manufacturing line. Our welded wire mesh is attached to the frame at every point instead of just at certain points. This unique process ensures several key features:

Unparalleled strength and stability

The fact that the wire mesh is attached to the frame everywhere increases the strength and support of the overall panel. Additionally, our SmartWeld process uses electricity to melt steel together, resulting in joints that are 70% stronger than a typical MIG weld. 

Finally, our panels are designed to be stabilized using cinder blocks instead of sandbags—which last much longer and result in a stronger fence which is a great benefit for construction companies.

Anti-climb

No fence is climb-proof, but our panels have an aperture of 1.2 inches compared to double that for chain-link panels, making them much harder to climb. 

This provides additional security and safety measures for temporary fencing at job sites. Having the assurance that construction companies are receiving the best possible fence product that reduces the risk of climbing will be enticing over non anti-climb panels.

Easy storage transport

ZNDUS provides specially-designed storage stillages that solve the issues typically associated with stacking and moving fence panels. The stillages can be forklifted directly onto a delivery truck, completely removing the risk of injury by manual stacking and eliminating the risk of damaging panels. 

Reducing the risk of damaged panels provides construction companies with the best quality fence panels in the current market. This will prevent injury and maintain safety measures for construction job sites.
