Renting Equipment
My new Trimble S5 with TSC7 (Access)was delivered this week. Perhaps more on that later. I’ve still got the perfectly serviceable, if highly flawed, Topcon PS with TSC3 (Survey Pro) on hand. By spring I hope to have added at least one staff member and have both of these instruments at work most days. Over the winter I expect to have surplus equipment on hand.
Another surveyor I know well is just starting up his business and is interested in renting the Topcon during the next few months. I’m sure that we can arrive at a reasonable daily rate. And I’m confident he will treat it well. But what about theft, accidental damage, or freak breakdowns, while he has it? What is fair, what are sensible precautions? Should I have some sort of special insurance for doing this? Should his insurance cover these things?
