The cost of lost equipment

Pooled equipment is hired, not owned

You pay a daily hire charge per unit for every day it's on your account, including units effectively lost or gone without paperwork.

Keeping your equipment management simple & your account in check

That daily charge never stops. Not until the unit is returned, reconciled, or you pay the pooler's lost-equipment compensation for it.

Step one

You pay once, daily

Every unaccounted unit keeps accruing its daily hire charge, month after month, whether or not you still have it.

Step two

Then you pay again

Miss the paperwork and you eventually pay the pooler's compensation for the unit itself, on top of every day of hire already charged.

The way out

Paperwork is the way out

A correctly documented transfer moves the charge to where the equipment actually went. That's why documentation is the product.

Illustrative daily hire rates. The standard rate is the high end; large national accounts negotiate down, smaller accounts pay more, so we show a range per equipment type. Your rate also depends on the provider (CHEP/Loscam).
