Manain launches the ‘PROTECT ME’ sticker to safeguard the use of machinery during the state of emergency

At Manain, we are committed to water conservation and want our users and customers to join this important mission. That’s why we’ve created the Protect Me sticker, a symbol carrying a message: the importance of protecting our machinery and preserving the most valuable resource of all, water. 

Whenever you see this sticker on one of our machines, remember that it represents a firm commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. But this sticker is not just a symbol; it’s a constant reminder of the importance of caring for and protecting the machinery to reduce the use of water in its cleaning. 

By taking steps to protect our machinery, we are directly contributing to water conservation and environmental care. We want this Protect Me sticker to serve as a visual reminder for everyone who interacts with our machines. 

The importance of water use during the state of drought emergency 

In these times of drought emergency in Catalonia, it is crucial that we all take proactive measures to preserve one of the most vital resources: water. Due to the drought, the Phase 1 Emergency Plan has been implemented, especially affecting the Barcelona area. The Generalitat has issued various measures and highlighted the most affected areas to address this situation, and it is our duty to contribute in every way possible. 

The Generalitat’s restrictions include a 25% reduction in water consumption in industry as well as a ban on cleaning vehicles with potable water. At Manain, we are committed to responsible water use and have implemented significant changes in our daily practices to reduce consumption.  

One of the key areas we are focusing our efforts on is cleaning our lifting and construction machinery. We carry out a basic dry cleaning when necessary while ensuring the safety of the machinery.  

 

How we do it at Manain to minimize the impact on you 

We understand that these new measures might imply an additional cost and slightly more time in our operations, but we firmly believe that it is necessary for the general welfare and a sustainable future. After all, what is a bit of temporary effort among everyone compared to preserving such a vital resource? 

It means being conscious of the water used when cleaning our machines. It means taking measures to prevent leaks and unnecessary waste. It means adopting more efficient and conservative cleaning practices. By protecting our machinery, we are directly contributing to water conservation. Every drop saved is a step closer to reduced water use in our facilities. Moreover, with this effort, we align with the campaign Care for Me, which raises awareness about the importance of caring for machinery during its use. 

Will you join us in this important mission? It’s simple: protect the machine.

Long-term rental of lifting and construction equipment in Manain

Elevator platforms are an ally for many daily tasks and services. Typically, companies offer a rental service with the option to rent for different periods of time. With this type of lifting and construction equipment rental, you will have available fixed monthly or annual expenses, depending on the contract modality.

At Manain, we offer you the rental option that best suits your needs. As a general rule, these are daily, weekly, monthly, or annual rental contracts… Additionally, there are leasing and renting options as forms of rental.

Leasing and renting as long-term equipment rental options

On one hand, leasing allows entrepreneurs, through a monthly payment, to enjoy the machinery and, in some cases, additional services (related to the rented goods). At the end of the contract, the customer will have the option to purchase the goods or return them to the company.

On the other hand, renting allows customers to enjoy the machinery, as well as different additional expenses that ensure its proper functioning. In this case, there is no option to purchase at the end of the contract.

Currently, the environmental factor is one of the main topics, whether in machinery or other sectors. In this sense, renting offers a greater optimization of available resources. The short- and long-term wear of the machinery is inevitable, so renting this type of equipment, depending on its use, transfers the obsolescence cost to the rental company.

What does machinery renting and leasing include?

While the leasing contract must last at least 24 months, the renting contract can last a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 60 months. Both parties decide the duration of the contract.

Renting payments are fixed and include expenses related to installation, maintenance, and repair of machinery or equipment. The opposite happens with leasing payments, which only include the rental amount, so the rest of the services are paid separately. In leasing, you can deduct the amortizations and payments of the installments under the concept of debt interest, while in renting, you can only deduct the payment of the installments.

Depending on the usage needs, one rental model may be more advantageous than another or even consider the purchase option. Therefore, it will be necessary to evaluate each situation to plan these expenses. Get informed about the conditions we offer for each type of long-term rental.

At Manain, we specialize in the rental of elevator platforms and lifting equipment, with a fleet of more than 1,000 machines that we expand and renew annually. In addition to offering technical service and commercial-technical advice to make your experience unique. In short, at Manain, we offer you all the options available on the market.

The main keys to find out which working platform you need

When renting a lift platform, we must consider the nature of the task to determine which lift platform is needed for each situation. A safe and efficient job at height is based on meeting certain requirements to reach very high or hard-to-access work areas. At Manain, we offer a personalized service for each situation.

This type of lifting equipment is a practical and efficient alternative to ladders, scaffolding, and other types of elevating devices. They offer a higher level of safety and efficiency in tasks. However, each is more suitable for specific tasks, which is why it is important to choose the right lift platform.

It is important to be clear about the work position where the tasks will be performed. We have compiled the basic aspects to consider when renting the platform that best fits the work, from 3.5 meters up to 43 meters in height.

 

Basic aspects to consider when renting a platform:

  • Total access height. It is necessary to know the maximum height needed for the task. At Manain, we offer a wide variety of lifting equipment, ranging from 3.5 meters up to 43 meters in height, including aerial lifts, scissors, and articulated diesel and electric models. For example, articulated or telescopic arms can overcome obstacles and access hidden and hard-to-reach areas thanks to their articulation.

  • Workspace. Depending on the work area, it is important to consider the measurements between the floor and ceiling in indoor spaces. For example, openings where the equipment will pass through, the square meters where the lift platform will be positioned, and the space required for the operators, as well as other hanging or obstructing elements that may be present, both indoors and outdoors.

  • Surface of the ground. The working ground should be differentiated between outdoor, whether hard, rocky, grassy, or muddy, and indoor, if the working area is flat and smooth. This will determine the type of lift platform and the traction force needed. Also, whether the ground can support the weight of the equipment, materials, and workers. Generally, an electric machine with zero emissions is recommended for indoors, and a diesel one for outdoors.

  • Required working capacity.The number of workers who will operate the platform and the weight of materials that need to be lifted. Also, the size of the lift platform required for the tasks.

 

Why choose Manain for your next rental
