Frequently Asked Questions
A managed maintenance program is a service in which an outside provider schedules, performs and tracks inspections and maintenance on equipment you own. With United Rentals’ managed equipment maintenance, inspections and repairs are scheduled automatically at set intervals using the same systems we use to maintain our own rental fleet. That covers everything from aerial lifts to earthmoving equipment. You focus on the job while we keep your equipment compliant and ready to work. Download our Scheduled Maintenance and Inspection Overview to learn more.
Preventive maintenance for heavy equipment offers these benefits:
- Fewer breakdowns and less downtime
- Longer equipment life
- Improved worker safety
- Fewer surprise repair costs
- Compliance with ANSI, OSHA and CSA inspection requirements
- Better resale value, since a documented service history shows buyers the equipment was well maintained

Preventive maintenance services equipment at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals. That catches worn parts, leaks and other issues before they cause a breakdown in the middle of a job. Planned service can also be scheduled around your work, so equipment is out of commission on your terms rather than during an emergency. An equipment maintenance program with automated scheduling makes sure no service gets missed. Factory-direct parts availability also shortens the time equipment spends in repair. For cold-weather tips, see Construction Fleet Maintenance Tips for Winter Operation and Storage.
Preventive maintenance is scheduled at set intervals, such as calendar dates, run hours or the manufacturer’s recommendations, regardless of the equipment’s condition. Predictive maintenance for equipment uses real-time data, such as telematics usage and performance readings, to predict when service is actually needed. That way, maintenance happens before a failure but not earlier than necessary. United Rentals combines both, using telematics and advanced technology to monitor usage and schedule service before you have to make a call.
