Our Top 5 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Rental at Simplex

Renting a tool is faster than buying it. But renting well means knowing how to save time, money and energy. Here are 5 practical tips to help you make the most of your rental experience, while saving time and staying safe.

1. Tell us about your project, not just the tool you need

Torn between two jackhammers, scaffolding systems or aerial lifts? Focus on what you're trying to achieve instead. Our experts can recommend the right tool based on your jobsite, soil type, height requirements or even the weather.

Pro tip: A good recommendation helps you avoid renting something too powerful (or not powerful enough), so you get better results.

2. Book in advance to get what you need, when you need it

We stock nearly 4,000 types of equipment, but some times of the week or season are busier than others. Booking ahead gives you a head start.

Good to know: You can book by phone or online.

3. Take advantage of our delivery service, especially for larger equipment

Have you ever calculated the real cost of time spent loading, strapping down and transporting your equipment? Or the financial risk in case of an accident? Let Simplex handle it for you. We deliver straight to your site or home. It’s quick, safe and hassle-free. Outside the city? We’ve got you covered. Our network spans most of Quebec and Eastern Ontario.

4. Got questions? Ask us in-store, we’re trained to help

Every tool is different. If it’s your first time using a certain type of equipment, our team can walk you through the main steps, safety tips or key functions, right there with the tool in hand. We’ll take the time you need.

Safety first: You’ll leave confident, with the tool properly adjusted for you.

Can’t make it to the store? Our experts can assist you by phone at 1-800-361-1486.

5. Returning your equipment? We make it easy

Some tools can be rented at one branch and returned to another. That’s useful if you're traveling, between jobs or working in a remote area. Just ask our team if that option is available when you book.

In short: The more you tell us, the better we can equip you

At Simplex, we don’t just rent tools. We support our customers. And those small touches can make a big difference on your jobsite.
