Even though the purchase of equipment may be a one-time investment, you would need to consider whether it is feasible for you to buy them. However, renting equipment would cost you even more than buying some. You should buy good quality heavy equipment so that you do not repent later on or worry about whether it is a good investment or not. Finance the equipment purchases yourself so that you can recover it later on from your company.
The length of the project

If the job is not a one time job, then you would require to buy heavy equipment rather than renting it out. The only risks in buying equipment would be that if there are holdups, then the equipment would just remain untouched for a while.
