Short-term Robot Rental (1–6 months)

Peak-season capacity, trade-show demos, pilot runs — billed monthly, on site in as little as 3 working days, maintenance and repairs included for the whole term.

What short-term rentals are really for

The point of a short rental is "use it, hand it back, keep no baggage." Our short-term bookings cluster around these scenarios:

  • ✓Peak-season capacity: Double 11 stock-up or pre-holiday rush orders — rent for 2–4 months, return the robot when orders normalize, instead of owning a machine that idles three quarters of the year
  • ✓Trade shows & events: Canton Fair, industry expos, product launches — daily or weekly rates for 3 days to 2 weeks; a cobot on an interactive demo draws the crowd
  • ✓Pilot production runs: rent a robot for 1–3 months before committing to automation; verify cycle time, yield and maintenance cost with hard data
  • ✓Cover while your robot is in repair: major overhaul means 2–3 weeks of downtime — a rental keeps the line moving
  • ✓University & research projects: lab coursework and capstone projects rarely need more than a small-payload robot for 1–3 months

TERMS

Contract terms — read before you sign

We put the clauses that usually cause disputes out in the open

Rent & deposit

Monthly rent is billed by calendar month from the acceptance sign-off date. Deposit is 1–2 months' rent, refunded in full without interest within 5 working days of a clean return inspection.

Fault responsibility

Non-fault repairs: fully covered. Operator-caused damage (collision, water ingress, overload, misuse): charged at repair cost, with a written inspection quote approved by you before work begins.

Renewal & early return

Renew with 7 days' notice; longer renewals switch to long-term rates. Early return is billed by actual duration with prepaid rent settled up or refunded — no penalty fee.

Subletting & use limits

The robot may not be sublet, pledged or moved from the agreed site without notice. Relocation is possible with prior approval — we assess and handle disassembly and transport.

Insurance

For high-value models we recommend property insurance (beneficiary as agreed); premiums can be shared as negotiated, and we can arrange cover through partner channels.
