(03) RENTAL ECONOMICS — LIKE CRITICAL SITE EQUIPMENT
Rent industrial robots like critical site equipment. Not like a moonshot project.
One scoped setup, not an engineering study
Delivery, configuration, programming, operator training and go-live support are scoped before sign-off. No surprise change-orders mid-deployment.
Pay for robot hours
Rental turns automation into predictable operating spend. You pay for the hours the cell runs — not casual labour rosters or procurement theatre.
No CapEx lock-in
Pilot first, rent, scale, swap or return. The commercial model flexes when product mix, shifts or volume change.

(05) PRICING QUESTIONS — STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Is there a hidden setup fee? +
No hidden fees. We spell out what is included and what is not before the proposal stage.
What is not included in the rental price? +
Freight to site, power supply upgrades, compressed air infrastructure, facility modifications, gripper consumables and internet connectivity. Everything else — robot, programming, training, weekly reviews, parts, breakdown response — is in the rate.
Is robot rental tax-deductible in Australia? +
Talk to your accountant — but yes, rental is generally treated as an operating expense rather than owned plant, so it lands on the P&L instead of the balance sheet.
What's the minimum rental term? +
3 months for the 90-day pilot, or a standard 12-month term for full deployments.
Can I return the robot early? +
Yes. Once the minimum term is served, give us 30 days' notice and we take it back. The pilot exists so you answer the fit question before you commit longer.
