Hurricane season is älmost upon us, and according to experts, we may be heading into a below-average one. Our hurricane equipment rentals, with generators and dewatering pumps, are all ready. We know that storm recovery can include the use of power generators and other dewatering pumps by municipalities, homeowners, and hurricane cleanup businesses.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Meteorologists from Colorado State University predict a below-average Atlantic Hurricane season with a total of 13 tropical storms, six of which will become hurricanes.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained
winds reach 74 mph. Phil Klotzbach, the University's meteorologist said that of the six
predicted hurricanes, two should be major hurricanes – category 3, 4, or 5 –
with sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or greater.
And while
the tropical storm peak season may seem far off, it’s not – we at Rayneau
Rentals & Sales are prepared; because how well we prepare will have a direct
impact on how well our customers are prepared.
This is not our first hurricane season, so we already know what we’re in for. Our customers are going to need equipment rental to perform two critical functions; generate and restore power and pump water. And to do so, they’re going to be relying on us - our guidance, and our inventory of portable pumps and portable generators.
We
have assessed our inventory. We are well aware of what the demands have been on our business during past
storm seasons. Knowing that this year’s season is predicted to be “below-average,” we are not dropping our guard since
it takes only one storm for a season to be active for you.
Our
equipment is ready to go at a moment’s notice. Even if any equipment has
not “seen action” recently, we perform regular preventive maintenance services,
like lubrication and oil change.
Our Facebook page and other platforms will regularly post “be prepared” messages out into our marketplace, encouraging potential customers to start thinking now about their equipment needs when the bad weather hits. The sooner that equipment gets reserved, the sooner we’ll have a handle on how much inventory we’ll need to have on hand to meet the demand.
Portable
gas or diesel-powered generators are preparedness must-haves as storm recovery
equipment. Why? Let’s face it, there’s only so much you can predict with a
hurricane. If history has taught us anything, there’s at least one thing you
can be absolutely sure of; you’re going to need to have plenty of generators on
hand.
Portable
generators, gas and diesel-powered, offer the flexibility our customers will
need to respond to uncertain, emergency situations for power supply after the storm. We also have fixed generators on hand, too,
which customers may need to generate critical backup power for extended
periods if needed.
In 2013, the Christmas Eve Trough dropped millions of trillion gallons of rain, causing massive inland flooding. The disaster recovery required a lot of hurricane pumps.
Over
time, we’ve learned that it has become increasingly difficult to anticipate
where flooding will occur; even areas that are usually considered low risk are
being adversely affected. That means our customers are going to need pumps that
can be easily transported and positioned to do the work that’s needed… quickly
and efficiently. At Rayneau Rentals & Sales we can be sure that pumps will
be in high demand when the season starts. We are prepared; we have them in your
inventory!
In summary, we don’t leave anything to chance. We’re prepared. How? We have a plan based on both past inventory and predicted inventory demands.
