Peak-season production, pilot runs, trade-show demos — no need to sink hundreds of thousands of RMB into buying equipment. Short-term and long-term rentals available. Maintenance and repairs are covered for the entire rental period, and at the end of the term you can return, renew, or buy the robot.
Not every automation need justifies a purchase. As a repair-first company, we have seen plenty of robots bought at full price and left idle after six months. Renting is the more sensible option in these situations:
Pick by duration and purpose — or call us with your application and we will recommend one
The go-to choice for peak-season capacity, trade-show demos and pilot runs. Monthly billing with weekly and daily options for urgent cases; on-site installation in as little as 3 working days for stocked models. Small six-axis robots from approx. RMB 4,000–9,000/month.
Short-term details →For production lines that run year-round without the capital outlay. Annual rates run 20–30% below monthly pricing, and maintenance, repairs and wear parts are all included, with a 48-hour on-site response commitment.
Long-term details →Pay as you use. After the agreed term (typically 24–36 months) the robot becomes yours, with a contractually defined share of the rent paid credited toward ownership. Minimal upfront cash, ideal for phased automation budgets.
How rent-to-own works →More than hardware: programming, commissioning and operator training bundled in. Our engineers hand over a process that actually runs at target cycle time — the right choice if you have no robot programmers in house.
Service options →Common rental models and market reference rates — final quotes depend on model, condition and term
| Brand / reference model | Payload / reach | Typical applications | Monthly rate (long-term) | Deposit |

Short-term rentals (1–3 months) carry a 20–40% premium over long-term rates; programming and commissioning quoted separately. Rent covers maintenance and repairs during the term; freight and end-of-arm tooling are not included. Stock changes constantly — call +86-20-39029800 for current availability and exact quotes.
From first call to running process: typically one week; rush orders via the express lane
Part weight, cycle time, rental term — our engineers will match a model and quote it
Get a rental proposalPlenty of companies rent robots. Very few can answer "what happens when it breaks mid-term?" — in writing.
We are a robot repair and maintenance company first. If a rented robot fails through no fault of yours, we respond within 30 minutes to 3 hours across the Pearl River Delta. Repairs, scheduled maintenance and wear parts are covered by the rent — written into the contract, not a verbal promise.
Each robot leaves our workshop only after a full check: axis-by-axis run test, alarm-log readout, repeatability spot check, cable and controller verification. The inspection record ships with the robot — you know exactly what you are getting.
Term over and the robot is not the right fit? Return it. Grown attached? Credited rent converts part of the purchase price. Process changed mid-term? We will discuss a swap instead of making you find another supplier.
Worked example: a small six-axis robot (new price approx. RMB 120,000–180,000)
| Factor | Rental | Buy new | Buy used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cash | Deposit + first month: approx. RMB 10,000–20,000 | RMB 120,000–180,000 in full | RMB 40,000–80,000 |
| Lead time | One week standard, 3 working days express | 4–8+ weeks from order | 1–2 weeks if in stock |
| Maintenance | Included for the whole term | On your dime after warranty | Mostly on your dime |
| Long-run cost | Rent continues; ~36 months approaches buy-out price | One outlay, long service life | One outlay, residual value recoverable |
| Exit flexibility | Hand it back at term end — zero disposal burden | Idle equipment is sunk cost | Resell to recover part of the value |
| Best for | Temporary capacity, pilots, cash-flow-sensitive buyers | Stable process, full-time production | Tight budgets, long-term own use |

Typically 1–2 months' rent, sized to the robot's value and the term. On return, once the robot passes inspection with no operator-caused damage and all accessories present, the deposit is refunded in full (interest-free) within 5 working days. Normal wear — light paint scratches, consumed wear parts — is never deducted. What is and is not deductible is itemized in the contract.
Failures that are not your fault: we repair them at no charge — repairs, maintenance and wear parts are included in the rent, with 30-minute to 3-hour on-site response across the Pearl River Delta. Operator-caused damage (collision, water ingress, misuse): charged at actual repair cost, always with a written inspection quote approved by you before any work starts. If downtime hits your production, we can discuss a loaner robot or a term extension as compensation.
Standard billing is monthly. For 3-day to 2-week needs — trade shows, short trials — we run a daily/weekly lane at a premium, scheduled case by case. Around peak show seasons (Canton Fair periods) cobots book out fast; reserve at least two weeks ahead.
Yes — choose "rental with services": we program and commission the process and train your staff (daily start-up, program selection, basic checks). Per-day engineer attendance is available too. For sites with zero technical staff, we offer full station management.
Yes, VAT invoices are issued (tax item per contract). Operating-lease rent is booked as a period cost — it does not sit on your fixed-asset ledger, which is attractive if you are managing your debt-to-asset ratio. Rent-to-own accounting depends on contract substance; confirm with your finance team before signing and we will cooperate fully.
Within Guangdong we deliver by dedicated truck and install on site. Outside the province rentals are possible: round-trip freight and travel are billed at cost, and installation can be guided remotely or done by our engineer on site. Overseas pure-equipment rental is not offered at present, though short project-based cooperation with services can be discussed.
