The cost of doing business just changed.
With the federal 25% tariff on steel derivative products now in effect, the price of steel-based equipment is rising across Ontario.
For construction companies, this means higher purchase costs, more uncertainty around pricing, and longer lead times for new equipment. Steel-heavy items now require more upfront capital and carry more risk if they sit unused between projects.
In this kind of environment, flexibility matters.
Having access to the right equipment when you need it, without having to buy, store, or maintain it, helps keep costs predictable and cash available for labour and active work on site.
As material costs continue to climb, how you manage equipment can have a real impact on your bottom line.
