Specialized Equipment for Remedy and Restoration Applications

Remedy and restoration equipment is typically used not in everyday renovations and common construction builds but in the field to assist with clean up after disasters or in special scenarios that call for equipment outside your typical carts and forklifts.

Some remedy and restoration examples that might call for specialty equipment include:

• Floors damaged by water, such as a home besieged by flooding
• A construction site that needs to be cleaned up once the main work is completed
• Buildings/sites that must be disinfected after a viral outbreak or other potentially dangerous contamination event
• Extensive water damage, including walls and furniture, which require a desiccant humidifier
• Complicated machinery, such as in a manufacturing plant, which requires assistance to move and deep clean
• Natural disaster zones that require extensive cleanup due to hazardous materials, large debris and other pollutants
• Cleaning and sterilizing health care facilities where sterile environments are of the utmost important
• Mold remediation, especially in sensitive environments like hospitals and schools and large environments such as a big office building
• Moving large objects, such as fallen trees or crumbled buildings, to make way for restoration efforts

Herc Rentals provides top brands and specialized equipment designed to help execute cleanup and total restoration projects the right way, every single time.

Types of Remediation and Restoration Equipment

From environmental remediation and recovery situations to health care settings where air quality and cleanliness matter more than ever, knowing what equipment to rent could heavily influence the outcome of your project.

• Air conditioning units: AC units and other climate control equipment can be literally lifesaving when your team is working in less-than-ideal conditions. Explore options ranging from 1-ton air conditioners with heat that take up little room to units like the 7-Ton Hybrid Air Conditioner, 136 kW Heat, 718-2230 that can ventilate large areas while you work through hefty repairs.
• Earthmoving equipment: Scoop, dig, move, load and unload dirt with earthmoving equipment that will help your crew reshape a job site or clear an undeveloped lot to make way for construction. Rentals like the 1,700-1,999 lbs. Compact Truck Loader, ROPS even allow you to switch between attachments, so you can shift mounds of dirt or lift chunks of concrete and fallen trees with equal ease.
• Vacuums and dust control: Whether you’re battling debris left behind from a tornado or you just need to keep work site dust away from active patient care areas, you need commercial vacuums and dust control devices on-site. Look for commercial-grade motors and certified HEPA filters for cleaner, safer workspaces.
• Job site solutions: As you work clearing debris and bringing essential systems back online, it’s important you keep an eye on safety. Surveillance equipment like solar-powered cameras can monitor equipment, workers and onlookers. Devices for traffic and crowd control direct vehicles to follow important detours and let travelers know if they’re about to encounter iffy conditions.
• Portable lighting: You can’t fix what you can’t see, which is why portable lighting is vital when undertaking remediation and restoration work. Solar LED light towers like the 200W Solar Towable LED Light Tower have enough oomph to illuminate parking lots and construction sites without relying on the local power grid. Hazardous location lighting helps improve visibility while providing safe lighting in dangerous or explosion-prone areas.
• Power generation: If you can’t rely on electricity due to downed wires or the fact that your job site isn’t yet hooked up to the power grid, you’ll need your own source of power. Towable generators, skid-mounted generators, load banks and fuel tanks are just some of the rentals that’ll help you operate lighting, climate control devices and other equipment.
• Floor scrubbers: Dirty, wet and contaminated floors are a triple-threat of danger and risk. Slip-and-fall accidents, aesthetic damage and infection are all major concerns here, but you can mitigate the effects of water and viral influences by cleaning and sanitizing in one go. Rent a machine like the 40-54 in. Ride-On LPG Scrubber with an 80-gallon solution tank and 95-gallon recovery tank to help you clean and sanitize large areas uninterrupted.
