Loadbanking primary and backup<br />
power sources & systems<br />
For more than a decade, ComRent has developed protocols <strong>which</strong> set the standard for loadbanking<br />
primary and backup power sources and systems. It has supplied equipment for more testing<br />
contracts than any other loadbank rental company in North America: 30,000+ projects.<br />
Unlike other service companies with<br />
many business interests, ComRent<br />
asserts that it <strong>is</strong> dedicated to the<br />
single m<strong>is</strong>sion of providing excellence in<br />
load bank testing.<br />
A spolesman told AIP: “Our unrivaled<br />
customer service and 99% trouble-free<br />
performance record are testaments to our<br />
commitment.<br />
“ComRent’s continuing success <strong>is</strong> also<br />
attributable to our customers. The insight<br />
we’ve gained through working with<br />
systems development and management<br />
customers has directly influenced our<br />
internal operations.<br />
“We understand the business objectives<br />
of all who are involved in the systems<br />
testing process, <strong>which</strong> <strong>is</strong> why we offer<br />
such a wide range of equipment and<br />
services, including National Accounts.”<br />
“With ComRent’s help we<br />
achieved something the<br />
engineer said couldn’t be<br />
done. Th<strong>is</strong> level of service<br />
<strong>is</strong> what keeps us coming<br />
back time and time again.”<br />
