Checklist: how to receive a rented machine on site

A well-received delivery protects both you and us: it's clear what condition the machine arrived in, with how many hours, and who your contact is if anything happens. Every RentaCentro delivery includes a documented inspection — this guide is your side of it.

Before the machine arrives

  • Access: does a lowboy fit? Gate width, turns and overhead lines.
  • Unloading spot: firm, level ground to offload safely.
  • Who receives: name someone with authority to sign the receipt.

At delivery: the 10 minutes that matter

  • Walk the machine with our delivery tech: the inspection is documented together.
  • Note the hour meter and photograph it — it's the basis for contract hours.
  • Photograph any existing detail (scratches, tires, glass): it goes in the record and nobody argues later.
  • Test the main functions with the delivery tech present.
  • Save the support contact: who you call if something fails at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

During the rental

A 2-minute daily check before starting (fluids, tires or tracks, visible leaks) and report any symptom at first sign: maintenance is on us, and acting early keeps your job from waiting. Hour monitoring helps us schedule service without interrupting your shift.

At return

  • Same movie in reverse: joint inspection against the delivery record.
  • Return the machine reasonably clean — it inspects better and faster.
  • Job running long? Say so BEFORE the end date and we'll coordinate the extension.

Frequently asked questions

What if I spot pre-existing damage?

That's what the documented delivery inspection is for: whatever is noted and photographed in the record isn't attributed to you. That's why the joint walk-around is the step you never skip.

Who handles maintenance during the rental?

We do — preventive and corrective, with hour monitoring to schedule it on time. Your part is the basic daily check and calling at the first symptom.
