Persistent Challenges: Staffing Shortages & Slow Frame Tent Setups
After many years of dealing with the “busy season” with my own tent rental company, 2 problems seem to never go away:
- A lack of steady employees
- Frame tent setup times take too long
I figured out a way to lift frame-type tents faster with my Tent Crutch Tool. Here's why you and your own Tent Business will benefit from this tool...
Stop wasting hours waiting on no-show crew members. Our Tent Crutch Tool lets one person safely raise one corner of a frame tent and keep it suspended off the ground while you slide vertical poles into place. Designed specifically for tent rental company owners who are tired of labor shortages, this tool replaces the slower tent jack and cuts setup time by 40–60 % on every job.
The traditional tent jack hasn’t changed in decades — it’s slow, heavy, and always requires long assembly time. Our Tent Crutch Tool is the true tent jack replacement: lighter, faster, and engineered to hold the frame steady without a second worker. Rental companies across the country are switching because one installer can now do the work of two in less time and with zero back strain.
Once the frame is in the air, our tool acts as a rock-solid frame tent holder so you never fight gravity again. Insert every vertical pole single-handedly while the lifter keeps the corners perfectly steady. No more propping, no more guessing, no more dropped corners — just fast, repeatable, one-person installs on 10×10s all the way up to 20×40s.
Labor is the #1 profit killer in the tent rental business today. With this one-man tent setup equipment you can reduce crew size on every install and still lower setup times. Say goodbye to last-minute “no-call/no-show” labor headaches and start taking on more bookings because you’re no longer limited by how many workers actually show up. Ready to set up frame tents faster and with fewer people?
