Spine · For hire fleets

Real-time control and monitoring for every distribution board across your hire fleet.

Power use, runtime, fuel and CO₂ telemetry per asset. Evidence for warranty disputes. A chargeable line on every rental — built into Renta's RentaEasy customer portal as the production reference.

Renta runs Spine across its hire fleet.

Renta operates 190 depots across Northern Europe with 2,300 employees. Spine is built into their RentaEasy customer portal as a paid line on every rental — the operating structure now available to hire firms outside Renta's footprint.

The commercial angle

A chargeable line on every rental. The structure Renta operates.

Renta resells Spine data through RentaEasy as a paid line on every rental — comparable to the premium hire firms already charge for tracked tower lights or monitored generators.

Two outcomes for the hire firm: additional per-rental revenue, and stronger customer retention as the site team becomes dependent on the dashboard.

On the depot side: documented evidence for warranty disputes, accurate pricing on heavy-utilisation customers, and fuel optimisation across multi-generator jobs.

Customer-facing line

Per-rental kWh, runtime, voltage history. Surfaced through your portal via the Partner API, or via the Spine front-end white-labelled.

Warranty defence

Per-asset record of what each unit did between dispatch and return. Loss-adjuster evidence, not depot-foreman recall.

Utilisation pricing

Visible 18-hour duty-cycle vs 6-hour. Pricing leverage on the next renewal.

Generator fuel

Automatic auxiliary load on/off on multi-genset jobs. Load balanced against real demand, not nameplate kVA.

The platform

Four areas. One platform. One screen.

Spine runs on the same device whether it sits on a construction-site board or a hire-fleet generator. Genset load management is Power and Control combined; humidity inside a welfare unit is Climate; per-customer dashboards run on Connections.

The Spine portal

What your depot sees.

Three views from the production portal Renta runs across its hire fleet.

Spine portal fleet devices view — multi-board live monitoring across hire fleet
01
Fleet devices
Multi-asset live view with per-device load, voltage, runtime and fuel. Photo of each Spine-equipped unit on rent. Live status, predictive alarms, fault flags. This is what runs across Renta's depots today.
Spine portal site layout view — per-customer site map
02
Site layout
Per-customer site view, colour-coded per board. What your customer sees on their RentaEasy-style dashboard: green = within margin, amber = elevated, red = trip risk. Live load percentage per outlet.
Spine portal energy report — per-rental kWh, cost, CO₂
03
Energy report
Per-rental kWh, cost, CO₂ emissions per device. Rolls up to per-customer and per-project totals. CSV and Partner API export. The data your customers submit to their own carbon auditor.
Use cases

Where Spine pays back across your hire fleet.

Three deployment scenarios drawn from production at Renta across 190 depots.

Warranty & dispute

Documented evidence on every asset.

Per-asset record of load, runtime and fault flags between dispatch and return. When the manufacturer challenges a claim, the depot answers with timestamped data — not depot-foreman recall.

Customer revenue

A chargeable monitoring line on every rental.

RentaEasy-style live view your customer accesses through your portal — kWh consumed, runtime, CO₂ output, per-rental summary. A paid line on the contract; a reason for the customer to renew next quarter.

Fleet operations

Fuel optimisation and fire prevention.

Automatic auxiliary load on/off across multi-generator construction jobs — load balanced against real demand. Temperature alarms catch loose connections before they become electrical-cabinet fires.

Before the call

Common questions.

Spine sits on the 3-phase 400V distribution side, not the 110V CTE tool side. It runs on mixed fleets, regardless of equipment vendor.

Who runs Spine in production today?

Renta runs Spine inside their RentaEasy customer portal across the hire fleet. Renta is the lead reference; more deployments available under NDA. Renta operates 190 depots across Northern Europe with 2,300 employees.

What about 110V CTE tool circuits?

Spine reads the 3-phase 400V distribution boards on the hire fleet side — generators, transformers, distribution panels, MID-grade kWh meters. It does not monitor the 110V CTE tool circuits downstream; those run on site RCDs as designed under BS 7671 Section 704. The data Spine captures is the data the depot and the customer's QS care about.

Does Spine integrate with our rental management software?

Yes, via the Partner API. Existing integrations include event triggers (asset on/off-hire, fault flags, end-of-rental energy report) that push into inspHire-shaped, MCS-shaped, or syrinx-shaped systems. Integration specifics are scoped in the deployment spec sheet below; if your stack is bespoke, a one-week scoping engagement covers it.

How long does deployment take per asset?

Plug & Play unit on a standard 3-phase distribution board: under 15 minutes per asset, no electrical certification needed beyond the board's existing first-fix. 4G auto-connects to the strongest local network on power-up. Data starts flowing within five minutes of connection. Integrated-into-board variant: configured at the TSR-Elsite factory; arrives pre-commissioned.

What's the support arrangement?

Direct line to the TSR-Elsite Spine engineering team during European business hours. Out-of-hours emergency contact for production-blocking faults — same engineer who deployed your fleet, not a Tier-1 BDR. Contract scope is per-deployment; specifics in the spec sheet.

What does Spine cost?

Per-device + license, charged per-asset or per-fleet depending on volume. Indicative pricing is in the deployment spec sheet you request below — typical per-asset cost per month is included. Full quote is prepared after the project conversation.

Request the specification

Request the Spine deployment specification.

The specification PDF covers: hardware datasheet, deployment time per asset class, integration paths with your rental management software, the chargeable-line economics from the Renta deployment, and an indicative per-asset pricing band.

Specifications and pricing are prepared per fleet. Add context on your setup or specific requirements in the message field below.
