Rental programme for fusion machines

PIPE fusion expert McElroy has introduced the Certified McElroy Rental programme, a partnership between the company and participating distributors to supply customers with reliable fusion machine rentals. Participating distributors will use a comprehensive checklist created by McElroy to check machines after each rental. By participating in the programme distributors have pledged to provide greater continuous care of McElroy rental machines, creating a premium rental option in the marketplace. If a repair is needed, participating distributors are committed to using genuine McElroy parts installed by factory-trained mechanics. “We believe the Certified McElroy Rental programme answers a need in the market,” said Chip McElroy, president of the company. “Our customers have options. They can buy a new machine, buy a used machine or rent. We want all of these experiences with McElroy to be great for the customer. It was important for us to create a McElroy rental experience that offers superior security and reliability.”

A new website, www.certifiedmcelroy. com, allows contractors and pipeliners interested in a premium rental to search by state or province to locate McElroy distributors that carry Certified McElroy Rental machines. Each designated rental machine has a sticker on the fusion unit

that signifies that it is part of the Certified McElroy Rental programme. McElroy – USA Fax: +1 918 831 9256
