Workstation/Photocopier Rental

16-bit · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:37

Hey Guys,

Been thrown in the deep end and been put in charge of getting the IT equipment for a conference in Edinburgh. I’m looking at renting around ten workstations/laptops, five printers and two photocopiers for a week. Has anyone had to do this before? If so, could you give me any tips and recommend any rental companies.

Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried asking the conference centre?

These folks should be able to help http://www.hamilton.co.uk - the name has been around for a long time IIRC but I've not used them.

We've used http://www.exhibitionvision.co.uk/ in the past for trade shows (although admittedly only for furniture and large screen displays) and they've been good - usually get personal service and when they accidentally broke a stool in delivery, gave a refund without any quibble.

They remembered us the following year which was nice and made it painless to order the same again.

The conference centre only has a few things that I actually need.

Cheers for the reccomendation guys, I'll phone around and see what the prices are like.

Just an update went with Hamilton in the end as it was well priced and was an all round good experience, nothing was DOA, all the equiptment was in good nic the only thing I could moan about is the fact the laptops with over 4Gb RAM still had 32-bit operating system and I had to package up the stapler unit(It was huge!)
