Renta opens new onsite branch in Mo Industripark

Renting equipment just got easier and more cost-efficient for companies in Mo Industripark. The rental company Renta has opened its own branch inside the industrial park, in premises leased from Momek Group.

“We have had many customers here for years, but we have not been close enough. Now we want to invest more locally and be present where the needs arise,” says Håkon Dehlin, Branch Manager at Renta.

Renta is Norway’s largest provider of machinery and lift rentals, with branches across the country from south to north. The Mo i Rana branch currently has 19 employees, ranging from mechanics and equipment technicians to project managers and scaffolding fitters. The new on-site location in Mo Industripark will save customers both time and transport costs.

“In the past, we had to bring equipment up here by semi-trailer every time someone needed a lift or a machine. Transport alone could easily cost several thousand kroner each way. Now much of the equipment is already here and ready to use,” says Dehlin.

Shared economy in practice

Renta focuses on availability and simple solutions. With digital tools, customers can quickly find and order what they need. Each company receives its own login, discount agreement and full overview of the equipment available from Renta.

“When you log in as a customer, you see your prices and your selection. Renting a lift should be as easy as booking a flight,” Dehlin explains.

He draws a clear connection to the circular practices already found in the industrial park.

“We strongly believe in the sharing economy. Why own when you can rent? In Mo Industripark, circularity and collaboration are already part of the culture, and we want to contribute to that,” he says.

Faster support and local cooperation

To ensure fast response times and local expertise, Renta has partnered with Momek Group. Tor Håkon Rødsjø, who has long experience with lift rentals for industrial environments, is now hired into Renta in a 50 percent position to support daily operations in the park.

“Customers no longer have to wait for a semi to arrive from town. They can call me directly, and we will sort things out quickly. Things move fast here, and having equipment located right nearby is a major advantage,” says Rødsjø.

So far, Renta has placed scissor lifts, boom lifts and smaller equipment such as core drilling tools, chisels and combination hammers in the park. The selection will gradually grow based on customer demand.

“We hope more companies will discover how convenient it is to rent equipment locally in the park, and how quickly you get help when something comes up,” says Dehlin.
