If you live or work in Florida, hurricanes are something you have to plan for. And with peak hurricane season approaching, now is a good time to make sure your business is ready.
When a storm is headed your way, the last thing you want to be doing is scrambling to find a generator, rental equipment or service support.
A little planning ahead can go a long way.
From North Florida to Central Florida, Ring Power works with contractors, businesses, municipalities and other organizations to help them prepare for severe weather and get back to work after the storm.
Here are a few ways we can help before, during and after a hurricane.
Before the Storm: Get Ready Now
The best time to prepare for a hurricane is before one is in the forecast.
If your business depends on electricity to keep things running, make sure your backup power plan is ready. Ring Power’s Power Systems team can help you find the right solution, whether you need a permanent generator for your facility or temporary power during an outage.
We offer generator rentals in a variety of sizes, along with distribution systems, transfer switches, fuel tanks and other power equipment.
Already have a generator? Don't wait until the power goes out to find out it needs attention. Our service team can inspect, maintain and test your equipment so you know it's ready when you need it.
It's also a good time to think about the equipment you'll need after a storm. Clearing trees, moving debris, cleaning up jobsites and repairing roads can require equipment that isn't part of your everyday fleet.
During the Storm: Safety Comes First
Follow the guidance of local emergency management officials and stay off the roads unless travel is necessary. If your operation needs critical power during an outage, having a plan in place ahead of time can make a big difference.
Ring Power can provide temporary generators and related equipment to support critical operations. Planning ahead also gives our team time to coordinate delivery, setup and support before conditions become unsafe.
After the Storm: Get Back to Work
For many businesses, the real work starts when the storm moves out.
Trees and debris need to be cleared. Roads and jobsites need to be cleaned up. Materials need to be moved and damaged areas need to be repaired.
Having the right equipment available can help you get the job done and get your operation back on track.
Ring Power Cat Rentals offers a wide range of construction equipment and attachments for cleanup and recovery, including excavators, loaders, skid steer and compact track loaders, backhoes, telehandlers and more.
If you're still waiting for utility power to be restored, our Power Systems team can also help with temporary generator solutions.
Know Your Power Options Before You Need Them
If your business relies on temporary power during or after a storm, it's worth knowing what's available before you need it.

Don't Forget About Your Personal Hurricane Plan
Being prepared at work is only part of the picture. It's just as important for employees and their families to have a plan at home.
