Rentals We Offer
We are offering a range of rentals, including:
Excavator rental
An excavator is a heavy construction machine for moving soil and digging. Construction projects need excavators. This machine features a cab, a boom, a bucket, and a dipper attached to a platform that rotates and is called the house. This machine has wheels or tracks.
Different components of this heavy equipment machine bestow it with superior power for digging. Hence, you can use it for various purposes, such as lifting earth or waste, digging deep trenches, or breaking holes.
These machines need professional operators. You might find it too tempting to remove the waste or earth in your backyard. However, it is better to leave it to the professional operators.
Here are three different kinds of this heavy equipment:
● Standard or regular excavators
Weighing around 200,000 lbs, these machines are excellent for heavy-duty lifting jobs and digging along with moving earth or waste in bulk.
● Midi excavators
These machines weigh less than the standard models but are bigger than mini models. Midi excavators are suitable job sites with confined spaces but still need heavy lifting.
● Mini excavators
These machines are versatile and suitable for minor projects involving demolition. However, these excavators are the smallest of all three models.
A mini excavator is a compact model, and many construction projects use it frequently. This is because it can perform various jobs just like a standard excavator and has compactness on its side.
The mini model also features a boom, a dipper, a cab, and a rotating house. In addition, some mini-models have wheels while others come with tracks. Due to their compact size, they are ideal for smaller jobs that might not feature too much heavy lifting.
These are for stump removal or material building. Apart from that, you can also use them for grave digging or tree harvesting. Professional operators use this type of excavator for standard digging projects, repairing sewer lines, renovation, landscaping, water features installation, and demolishing small buildings.
The primary advantage of these excavator types is their minimal damage to the top surface. In addition, it is lighter than the previous two types, so you might not have to deal with track marks or ground damage.
Moreover, you can use different attachments to go with this excavator and diversify its capabilities according to your project requirements.
Renting this excavator will cost around $100 to $600 a day. So, it’s a pretty good short-term deal. You can also buy this excavator for around $100,000 to $500,000.
But it will only work for you if you use your mini excavator for more than a year and use it regularly. If not, then the better option for you is to rent it.
Renting this machine will cost around $900 to $1800 a day. But the final rents will depend upon the machine you are renting and the rental company.
We do offer highly competitive rental prices than industry standards. Our equipment is ideal for different construction projects and is highly reliable.

Bulldozer rental
A bulldozer is a pretty popular piece of heavy construction equipment. It’s a motorized machine that might come in handy in most construction projects. It has a metal blade right on its front, and it can push soil, snow, debris, rock, or rubble from one place to another during construction.
Bulldozers can also remove stumps by lifting or pushing them from the ground. This machine either sits on large tires or tracks. Now, there are three different kinds of bulldozers too.
● Crawler/track bulldozer
It’s a heavyweight bulldozer that seems just like a tractor. It is for irregular terrain as it comes with excellent traction. You can use it for crushing or clearing rock too.
● Wheel/tire bulldozer
It is bigger than a track or crawler bulldozer, and its tires offer much better handling. This machine is best suited for soft or sensitive ground as tires or wheels work better than tracks on soft ground.
● Compact/mini bulldozer
This version of the bulldozer is more maneuverable and ambler in size. It is suitable for different compact projects. This machine is ideal for clearing and grading the land.
Renting these bulldozers will cost you around $600 per day. And even if you rent for just an hour, the cost will remain the same.
Skid Steer Rental
Also known as a skid loader, it is a small machine that runs on an engine. A skid steer is also called Bobcat, which is the brand name of one of its manufacturers. This heavy-duty machine sits either on two tracks or four wheels. And it gets its name from how it moves (a skidding motion).
This machine comes with different attachment options, and you can use it in a plethora of different projects. There is a standard bucket on it that you can use to move or lift heavy materials. This machine is good for excavation, construction, clearing snow, trenching, digging, and landscaping.
There are three different types of skid steers, and these are as follows.
● Large frame skid steers
These skid steers are best for extensive excavation and demolition projects. You can use them to maneuver through larger species pretty conveniently.
● Medium frame skid steers
These models function better as diggers in spaces where their larger counterparts cannot fit. Moreover, as it is lighter, it won’t damage the ground.
● Small frame skid steers
These skid steers can work well in tight spaces. Hence, they are for tighter construction sites and landscaping.
Renting a skid steer will cost you around $150 to $600 a day, depending on the skid steer you have chosen for your project. If you only have to use it for a few days, renting it would be better.
Telehandler rental
Also known as a telescopic handler, it is a commonly used machine for construction and agricultural projects. It is also called a reach forklift, but that doesn’t mean it is similar to a forklift. Instead, Telehandler is much more versatile as it can lift side-to-side, backward, and forward.
It also provides more than 30 feet of reach compared to forklifts. However, forklifts are much more compact compared to telehandlers too. So, you can go for a forklift in a limited space where compact machinery is needed. Otherwise, a telehandler is a better option for its versatility.
It can accept a range of different attachments to add to its versatility. But primarily, it is always a place-and-lift machine. Using other attachments that include lifting forks, buckets, or sweepers, you can accomplish more using a telehandler. You can move the earth, clear land, remove snow, and do some lifting with it.
One benefit of telehandlers is their ability to work on and off-road pretty conveniently. You can comfortably use it on irregular terrain and smooth roads.
Furthermore, the machine can handle several tons, making it stronger than a forklift with similar equipment. As a result, a telehandler can comfortably transport materials to higher grounds that are not easy to reach with a single machine.
For rental, you can expect to spend anywhere between $200 to $4500 a day based on the lifting capacity and reach of the machine.
Long reach excavator rental
Another type of excavator is a long-reach excavator, and it comes with a long arm. This machine can reach even further than the standard excavator with this longer arm.
A long-reach excavator is a top choice to reach deep into the lakes, ponds, or creeks where any other machine cannot go. Some models are excellent for reaching buildings’ upper stories and performing various functions instead of excavating the earth.
There are different types of these long-reach excavators. Some feature heavy-duty buckets that are best suited for granite and marble excavation. In contrast, others have long arms suitable for engineering applications like lake dredging.
Newer models of this machine can easily reach up to 118 feet, and most of them operate in tough work environments. So you can easily use them in bad weather and rough terrain without much effort.
Some newer models also come with tilting vans and some additional protection. These features made the equipment safer and operator friendly. Unfortunately, we don’t have this equipment on offer, but we are always looking to add more to our inventory, so we will soon have it on offer.
Renting such a machine will cost you around $1000 to $1500 a day. But the price can be lower or higher based on the manufacturer of the excavator and the rental company you are dealing with.
Water truck rental
These are large-sized trucks equipped with tanks located at their back and used for transporting and storing water. They also feature a spray nozzle controller that you can use to distribute water.
Water trucks are common at mining quarries, construction sites, and areas that require fire control and frames. They can conveniently hold anywhere from 2000 to 4000 gallons of water. Larger trucks can even hold up to 10,000 gallons. These trucks have multiple uses depending upon where they are present.
One of the most common uses of these trucks is dust control. You will have to deal with a lot of dust on construction and mining sites as there is plenty of loose topsoil around and heavy equipment.
Dust can slow down work, and it can also jeopardize workers’ health. They might develop asthma, bronchitis, heart disease, and eye irritation. Water can efficiently prevent dust as it can dampen the soil.
Water trucks also come in handy in creating an even ground using compaction techniques. Flat ground is mandatory for various construction projects.
Solid compacting requires removing air while maintaining the water content. Therefore a water source is needed, and a water truck can assist.
But too much water will make the ground unstable, and too little water won’t allow soil particles to adhere to one another. So with the help of these water trucks, you can spray just the right amount of water for your construction project to initiate according to the requirements.
Trencher rental
This machine digs trenches for construction, pipes, electrical cables, and drainage systems. Primarily there are two types of these trenchers.
● Wheel trenchers
These machines have tooth-metal wheels, and you can use them for both soft and hard soils. They can cut pavers and create an access route under roads for various utilities. These trenches have ejectors and spacers that can move different materials from those trench edges.
● Chain trenchers
These trenchers come with a chainsaw-like construction. The bucket design allows the operator to dig right through hard soil. It also features a digging belt or chain that can cut the soil. Chain trenchers can cut narrow and deep trenches according to the requirements.
There are different ways to use these trenchers. They can cut right through pavement or rock. Therefore, you can use them on streets, interstates, and highways. Moreover, trenchers can dig right through a lot of soil to create drainage. Therefore, these machines are suitable for shoveling dirt.
But the most common use is to dig for electrical wires to form a power pole for a building or a residence. Trenchers also come with a blade that can cut through roots and shrubs during the work. Popular models like the ditch can cost to rent anywhere around $150 to $500 a day.
