Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a formal rental agreement for mining equipment?

Mining and oilfield equipment is high-value and operates in hazardous conditions. A formal agreement protects both parties by clearly stating who is responsible for maintenance, damage, and compliance, reducing the risk of costly lawsuits.

What insurance should I require in an equipment rental agreement?

Typically, the lessee should carry general liability and equipment physical damage insurance, with the lessor named as an additional insured. A waiver of subrogation is also common to prevent insurance companies from suing the other party after a claim.

How does MSHA compliance affect equipment rentals?

MSHA has strict safety requirements for equipment used at mines. The rental agreement should require the lessee to maintain equipment in MSHA-compliant condition and to train operators properly, but the lessor may also have obligations to provide safe equipment.
