ComRent Launches Multi-Vendor Load Bank Repair and Maintenance Service

OWINGS, MD--(Marketwire - Mar 28, 2012) - ComRent, the leading provider of load bank rental solutions, has launched a new load bank repair, maintenance and troubleshooting service aimed at owners of load banks of all major makes and models. ComRent has the factory-trained technical expertise to repair, maintain and service any load bank manufactured today -- anywhere in North America. This unique, first-of-its-kind service ensures operational continuity and extends the life of load banks. If necessary, ComRent can also rent customers temporary load banks while their equipment is being repaired.

Load bank maintenance is often overlooked because of the nature of the equipment -- no moving parts or gears to maintain. However, like any other industrial equipment, the environment and long-term usage can have an eroding effect on load bank resistors, wiring and contacts. Without regular inspection and maintenance, this environmental erosion is the leading cause of load bank failures, which users often aren't aware of until the load banks are needed for testing.

"ComRent established the new load bank repair, maintenance and troubleshooting service in response to the increased demand for verification that on-site load banks in high-performance buildings, such as hospitals, data centers, utility substations and other mission-critical facilities, are fully operational when called upon to support regularly scheduled testing of back-up generators and UPS. These are expensive pieces of industrial equipment that require knowledgeable, highly-trained technicians to keep them in safe and proper working order," said Clayton Taylor, CEO and President of ComRent. "In-depth knowledge of load banks is in ComRent's DNA -- it's the nature of what we do. Our technicians have more technical expertise on more brands than any load bank manufacturer or general equipment service company, ensuring that our customers' equipment always works when they need it most."

Most load bank manufacturers do not offer a rapid response, on-site repair service -- even on brand-new equipment purchases. ComRent's new load bank repair, maintenance and troubleshooting service meets all major load bank manufacturers' service and maintenance specifications, and helps ensure that load banks will perform to original factory specifications -- whenever testing is required.
