Frequently asked questions

Why can't I use a generic equipment lease for my manufacturing equipment?

Generic leases often miss critical clauses for electrical equipment, such as calibration requirements, compliance with UL/CE standards, and lockout/tagout safety procedures. This specialized draft includes those provisions, protecting both parties from regulatory fines and operational risks.

Who is typically responsible for maintenance under this lease?

The lease allows you to choose. In the industry, the lessor often handles major maintenance to ensure equipment retains value, while the lessee performs routine cleaning and minor adjustments. The draft includes clear definitions to avoid disputes.

Does this lease address compliance with OSHA electrical safety standards?

Yes, the draft includes a clause requiring the lessee to operate the equipment in compliance with all applicable safety regulations, including OSHA's electrical safety standards (29 CFR 1910 Subpart S) and any state-specific requirements.
