When a hot melt system goes down, waiting days—or weeks—for replacement equipment can quickly become expensive. Production stops, orders fall behind, and shipping commitments are missed.
That’s why HAR Equipment Sales maintains a fleet of approximately 35 hot melt rental systems, with a wide variety of equipment and configurations—many available for immediate shipment.
Whether you need to keep a line running during a repair, bridge a long lead time on new equipment, support a short-term job, or trial a new process, HAR can help.

When a Hot Melt Rental Can Save the Day

Keep Production Running During Equipment Downtime
Equipment failures rarely happen at convenient times. When customers send hot melt systems to HAR for repair and don't have a spare, we can often provide a rental to keep production moving. A repair doesn't have to become a production shutdown.

Bridge the Lead Time on New Equipment
One HAR customer needed a new hot melt system with a 12-week lead time. Rather than wait three months, HAR provided a rental that allowed production to begin immediately.
The rental bridged the gap between “we need it now” and “our new equipment is ready.”

Support a Short-Term Production Need
A short-term contract, seasonal increase, packaging change, or special project doesn't always justify purchasing permanent equipment.
One customer needed additional capacity while a new production line was being commissioned. HAR rental units kept production running through the transition. Solve today's problem without forcing tomorrow's capital decision.

Trial a New Process Before You Buy
Rental equipment can also let you test a new adhesive application under actual production conditions.
Use the trial to determine the right equipment, configuration, and operating parameters before making the permanent investment. Prove the process first. Then invest with greater confidence.
More Than Rental Equipment. Immediate Support.
When production is down, you don't need a catalog.
You need an answer.
Whether you need equipment for a few days during a repair, a few months while waiting for a new system, a temporary production run, or a process trial, HAR's rental fleet gives you another option when waiting isn't an option.
If you have an immediate need—or see one coming—contact HAR Equipment Sales. We'll determine what's available, configure the right solution, and help keep your operation running.
