equipment rental

Borrowed tools service

Equipment rental is the business of lending tools, machinery, vehicles, or other gear for temporary use in exchange for payment.

The term covers both the service and the transaction: The equipment rental place had exactly the scaffolding we needed.

Common in construction, events, and recreation, where buying doesn't make sense for short-term needs.
