KWIK LINTELS as a rental business

Builders and mason contractors save time and money using KWIK LINTELS.
KWIK LINTEL is a temporary support and removable metal beam used when laying concrete masonry blocks over any opening. The lintel enables block layers to simply place the lintel over the top of any opening, and continue setting blocks without any delays or interruptions. The lintel eliminates the need for wood framing and all related costs. Once the cement has cured, the patented, retractable tab simply slides back. The lintel will easily drop out, leaving a clean, finished opening. Professionally engineered in Australia, each lintel exceeds all U.S. building standards.

Rent your own KWIK LINTEL products

KWIK LINTEL says a rental business with its products will leave you profitable in the first year. The products are safe, easy to use, lightweight, and green in nature, since the use of timber framing is eliminated. Lintel lengths range from 16 inches to 20 feet, in six-inch increments. The lintel installs and removes in less than one minute, and your rental business can be operated from a 32- X 32-foot area.

The KWIK LINTELS you own can be rented for as little as $2 a day. For more information, visit www.kwiklintel.com.
