Guides
Tool-backed explainers — not generic blog posts. We document assumptions, examples, and decision logic so you can use the calculators confidently and explain your numbers internally.

Where to start
Read the framework first, then run the calculator. That combination prevents the most common mistakes: optimistic utilization, optimistic residual, and underestimated maintenance.
Reminder: guides explain cost-based logic — not market benchmarks (market varies by region, demand, delivery, operator, and service level).

Rental rate framework (cost-based): the 10-minute method
Rental pricing
A practical framework: true cost €/h + margin, plus the assumptions that change everything (hours/year, residual, maintenance).
Coming next
Near-term only. We keep the roadmap realistic to protect trust.
Residual value: the biggest driver of your €/h
Residual
How to choose a realistic residual %, common mistakes, and what changes it (hours, condition, market).
Utilization: the silent profit killer
Utilization
Why low hours/year explodes your true €/h—and how to plan utilization realistically.
Buying checklist: what to verify before you commit
Buying
A practical checklist: economics, condition signals, and fit-for-job questions.
Selling checklist: how to reduce time-to-sale
Selling
What buyers trust: proof of condition, complete specs, photos that sell, and what to include.
FAQ
Why not publish lots of articles?
Quantity without usefulness doesn’t build trust. Each guide must support a tool and improve a real decision.
Are these “market benchmarks”?
No. We focus on cost-based decision logic. Market pricing varies by region, availability, and service level.
Can I suggest a topic?
Yes. The best topics are questions you repeatedly hear from customers or colleagues.
