Specialized Equipment for Health Care and Hospital Applications

Herc Rentals offers health care and hospital rental equipment for both emergencies and everyday needs. When your in-house floor sweepers and polishers are out for repair, our large inventory of health care and hospital floor care gear makes it easy to maintain a clean, sanitary environment. Planning renovations or on-site upgrades? Get the job done efficiently with the right trade and contractor tools, and transport supplies and materials with our specialty fleet vehicles.

Hospitals and health care facilities operate around the clock, which means that power outages can cause significant disruptions to medication storage, laboratory refrigeration, patient procedures and lifesaving equipment. Extended outages can disrupt essential services, including lighting, computerized medical records, air filtration and security systems. Our emergency and standby power solutions deliver a steady supply of electricity to your building, ensuring that patients, staff and supplies stay safe.

Extreme weather events and original equipment malfunctions can impact your hospital's critical internal systems. To help you maintain health care facility safety standards, we offer cooling, heating and air quality equipment. If you're dealing with flooding or excess moisture after, our water removal and diversion rentals can help resolve the issue quickly.

No matter what the situation, safety is paramount in the health care industry. Our selection of safety cameras, pedestrian barricades and specialized construction equipment is curated to protect your people and valuable equipment. With the right gear, you can ensure that hospital construction zones or storm-recovery sites are safe for patients, staff, laborers and visitors.

We understand how vital it is for hospitals and health care businesses to have access to high-quality rental equipment at all times. Whether you're dealing with an unexpected situation or a planned project, we provide highly specialized equipment from top brands to help you keep your facility running smoothly.
