For engineering teams
Equip a project team for the length of the contract
Consulting engineers, contractors and surveyors often need extra machines for a design phase, a site office or a short-term specialist. Renting matches the equipment to the contract period instead of carrying it on the balance sheet afterwards.
- Your own software licences installed and activated, or licensing quoted on request
- External monitors, docking stations, mice and keyboards for project offices
- Large-format and A3 printers, and UPS units for site offices with unreliable power
- Delivery to project sites across Zambia, and a replacement machine if one fails
- Monthly invoicing that fits project cost codes and contract periods
For training and examinations
Identical machines for every seat
For computer training, recruitment tests and computer-based examinations, every machine needs the same software and the same settings. We image the laptops or desktops identically, label them by seat, set up the network if required and keep a technician available for the session.
- Laptops or desktops imaged with your software and test platform
- Local network, Wi-Fi and printing set up at the venue
- Projector or display for the trainer
- Technician on site for the session, on request
Laptop hire questions
Renting laptops in Lusaka: what people ask
Send the number of machines, the software, the dates and the location to info@tayantpay.com and we reply with a quotation within one business day. Need tablets instead? See tablet rental.
Can I rent a laptop that runs AutoCAD, Civil 3D or Revit?
Yes. We supply mobile workstations with dedicated NVIDIA graphics, 32 GB of memory and fast SSDs for Autodesk, Bentley, CSI and Tekla software. Tell us the software and versions and we confirm the specification in the quotation.
Do rental laptops come with software installed?
Every laptop comes with Windows and standard office tools. We install your own licensed engineering and GIS software, or quote licences if you need them for the rental period.
What is the minimum rental period for laptops?
Laptops can be hired for a day for training and events, and by the week or month for engineering projects. Monthly hire gives the lowest rate per machine.
Can you supply laptops to a site outside Lusaka?
Yes. We deliver to project sites, mines and provincial offices across Zambia and replace any machine that develops a fault during the hire.
Can we buy the laptops at the end of the rental?
Ask us when you request the quotation. Where it suits the project we can offer a purchase option, or quote new equipment through our ICT procurement service.
