Rather than purchasing a new crimping tool for a one-off project, electrical business owner, Martin Cordina, chose LAPP Australia’s rental programme, allowing him to rent a quality tool – tested and tagged – on flexible terms, for a fraction of the cost.

Established electrical business owner, Martin Cordina from Powered Innovations, won a project that involved crimping many cables professionally, but it was cost-prohibitive to purchase a crimping tool for a one-off job.
After looking for a flexible, affordable, and convenient solution without the hassle of long-term commitments or large upfront costs, Martin discovered LAPP Australia’s recently introduced rental programme.
LAPP is a global leader in cables, connectivity, automation, and industrial communication solutions, with a permanent subsidiary established in Australia more than six years ago to meet growing market demands locally.
LAPP Australia introduced its rental programme earlier this year to provide electrical contractors with flexible, short-term tooling solutions, and meet a growing demand for project-based usage of tools.
“LAPP’s rental programme was an ideal choice for me. They have a huge range of tools, and they were flexible – allowing me to rent the tool just for the exact duration of the project,” said Martin, whose business has more than 20 years of expertise focused on the installation, modification, relocation, maintenance, and project management of machinery both mechanically and electrically.
“Purchasing a professional crimping tool would have cost me thousands, but I only needed it for this specific job. Renting one for a fraction of the cost was a smart move,” he added.
Flexible and convenient
Martin opted for a flexible weekend rental, which included two batteries, various dies, and the tool was tested and tagged for safety.
“The pickup process was hassle-free, too. Once I had booked in the tool, LAPP had it ready for me within a few hours, and they communicated with my son Jaiden about pickup times,” said Martin.
“The tool meant I could to an outstanding professional job, save time, and save cost, and focus on the project at hand without any additional stresses,” he added.
LAPP’s rental programme encompasses a wide variety of tools, including test and measurement technologies, cable handling, cable marking, site power, communications equipment, and site tools.
Complementing these selections of industrial tools are selections from LAPP Australia’s own local stock, which includes more than 5,000 cables and associated cable accessory parts and automation technology ready for immediate despatch across Australia, in addition to 25,000 product lines delivered from Germany within two weeks.
“This rental programme – backed by LAPP Australia’s national service and supply network – delivers to them meticulously maintained top-tier equipment at no capital cost to the renter.” This ensures best performance from the technologies involved, while also eliminating the storage and depreciation costs on items involved,” says Simon Pullinger, Managing Director, LAPP Australia.
“Martin used to programme exactly as we intended – he finished the job faster, with top quality standards, and saved costs. This positive feedback has reinforced our decision to expand the rental programme nationally,” he adds.
