Equipment Maintenance ‘Completes the Package’ for S.A. Comunale
Summary
S.A. Comunale partnered with United Rentals’ Customer Equipment Solutions to outsource preventive maintenance and repairs, leveraging factory-trained technicians, a single-source billing system, and the Total Control® platform for GPS tracking and service alerts. This streamlined approach improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and delivered significant cost savings, making United Rentals the company’s preferred provider.
Challenge
Large contractors with equipment spread across multiple locations struggle to keep up with regular preventive maintenance and repairs. Relying on a patchwork of local repair shops is time-consuming, inefficient, and can lead to increased downtime, safety risks, and higher overall fleet ownership costs.
Impact
By outsourcing equipment maintenance to United Rentals, S.A. Comunale achieved significant cost savings, reduced equipment downtime, and improved operational efficiency across 40 branch locations. The streamlined, single-source approach also saved man-hours by eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple service providers and simplifying billing into one statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
On-demand equipment maintenance is inspection, service and repair work you request as you need it, with no recurring contract. It’s a good fit for owners who want help with a specific inspection, a preventive maintenance interval or an unexpected breakdown. United Rentals provides on-demand equipment repair and maintenance for virtually all types of construction equipment, from aerial lifts and forklifts to mini excavators, generators and pumps. If you’d rather have service scheduled automatically, our Managed Maintenance Programs handle it for you.
Yes. Many repairs can be done in the field, including track and undercarriage repairs, bucket and cylinder repairs, hydraulic work and routine maintenance. That saves the time and cost of hauling equipment to a shop. United Rentals provides onsite equipment repair with factory-trained technicians and a stock of original equipment manufacturer parts. For larger or more complex jobs, we offer in-shop service with pickup and delivery. For ongoing support, our Onsite Programs can station a dedicated team at your site.
First, stop operating the machine and secure the area so no one is hurt. Tag the equipment out of service and note any warning lights, sounds or symptoms to help technicians diagnose the problem. Then call a qualified repair provider. With United Rentals’ emergency equipment repair, our experts are on call 24/7 to get your equipment back up and running. We can also provide a replacement rental so work keeps moving while repairs are underway.
