Portable or mobile offices are the bread and butter of construction projects and emergency response teams. In order for these temporary job sites to function properly, they require print devices that are able to accept print jobs and scan to a plethora of different user devices. In order for this to work, users can expect to use a wireless hotspot for network connectivity, or a cradle point.
A Unique Office Support Team For Unique Office Environments
Generators and their interactions with electronics.
Depending on the draw your team is expecting to utilize, your print devices will require special preparedness in order to endure that stress that comes from being powered by generators. Under and over voltage are considerable threats to rental multi-function print devices. If rental equipment experiences electrical failure, the office equipment rental provider will charge customers for damages accrued. For this reason, it's extremely important that your service provider is well versed in installing equipment in environments with dirty power. Their lack of experience will often land customers a bill with a few zeros tacked onto it.
Moving Rented Copiers
Desktop print equipment is costly to run, and lacks the speed and connectivity features required to support a busy team. With that being said, it is not a viable option for most teams. Stand alone copier rentals are the best solution. Large portable offices regularly are not equipped with ramps. Transporting fragile rented (or even owned) equipment should only be left to the highly skilled.
If your team is planning on relocating your portable office often, your short or long term copier rental provider needs to be aware so that they may properly secure it. Remember: Damage inflicted to rental equipment caused by improper transport is always billable to the end user. Refusing to inform your provider of such events will likely result in a very large and unexpected bill.
Rental Terms
Projected completion dates change most of the time. Your printer rental provider should be willing to work with your team regarding pickup and drop off dates. If your provider cannot pick up your equipment within a weeks notice, there are bound to be scheduling conflicts that will result in unnecessary costs.
Short and long term copier rental providers need to be flexible and work when you need them.
Response Times
If mobile sites are in a rural environment, bad providers will not be able to schedule service visits until sometimes a week in advance. This means that your office has had its productivity slashed until the service company makes time for you. Response times MUST be discussed with your printer service provider. They can give you an idea of how long you might have to wait in the event of device malfunction. Distance and technician availability could result in frustrating downtime.
Copier Swap-Outs
Depending on your project, you may find that you've underestimated your projected print volume. If this happens, your print services provider may be able to upgrade your equipment or deliver additional equipment. Keep this in mind when looking into who to call. As mentioned above, having an understanding of expected response times is imperative to keep your mobile office functioning at a steady flow. Working with an office equipment provider that has adequate product stock and quick response times will assist in customizing your network and print options.
