The Rent vs. Buy Debate

4.10.2014
Massive Equipment have rather cheekily named the month of October, “National Rental Month”. Whilst this ‘month’ is not officially recognized here in the Cayman Islands we really don’t think its a bad idea. In general the rental industry is unknown by those outside the construction or special event worlds. That is not unexpected of course, and, in an effort to…

Tools for clearing up after a hurricane

25.7.2013
Storms happen, and in the event of a biggie making landfall in Cayman we are going to need to roll up our sleeves and get busy. With forecasters predicting an above average hurricane season this year, we’ve beefed up our inventory of emergency equipment with a range of new portable generators and additional items for both personal and business use. Generators Take…

Bluff your way around the wine list.

11.6.2013
For a few years now, New York Times wine critic and holder-of-clever-sounding-name Eric Asimov has lamented the great shame that people think they need to know something about wine to enjoy it. He covered the topic in his print column, on radio, online and even wrote a book “How to Love Wine” in an attempt to expose the great ‘wine…

“Should have rented a tent!” A.K.A. the reason we have so much canvas around here.

31.5.2013
The cynics among you may regard this post as a subliminal-sales-pitch given the ongoing, unrelenting rain we’re experiencing this week (well done cynics, you’re right!), but that’s not all. Massive HQ is currently abuzz with tent-chatter as we just imported and installed a 15,000 sq ft behemoth at The Ritz Carlton for IBM’s uber-event next week as well as preparing installation…

When you live a child’s handspan above sea level in hurricane alley it can be handy to know a thing or two about generators. We in the Cayman Islands are more experienced than the average homo sapiens in dealing with the aftermath of storms, not to mention planned (and unplanned) electricity shutdowns and the occasional big outdoor PAR-TAY – all…

Longer extension cord means lower voltage. Seriously.

24.4.2013
I know, it sounds like another version of the ‘did you know gullible was not in the dictionary?’ trick, but it’s true! Even though copper is a champion conductor, the longer the run of wire, the more resistance incurred – this produces heat which does damage to the cord AND the item plugged into it. Furthermore, if you are using something that…

Tips for keeping cool in the heat!

21.4.2013
Sweet fiddlesticks it is warm out there at the moment (that is, of course, when it stops raining). I was facing the oft-encountered challenge of distinguishing between the muggy air and my own sweat this week when I began devising various strategies to cool myself down as quickly as possible. When the screaming became too much I put my clothes…
