If you’re planning a digging project, you’re going to need an excavation company that offers equipment rental services so you can complete the job.

A Guide to Equipment Rentals 

What projects require excavators?

Excavators are available in a range of sizes from small 10,000- to 20,000-pound giant excavator models. Because of their versatility on construction sites, their function can vary depending on the job. Repairing sewer lines, installing utility poles, installing pools or tubs, and demolishing structures are all projects that require an excavator.

Do I need a special permit?

A driver’s license is typically required to operate an excavator. When you’re using an equipment rental service, they may have their own rules and requirements as well. Some experience in construction and operation of heavy equipment is usually recommended to ensure the machine is operated safely.

What types of excavators are available?

Some of the most used excavators include the backhoe, which contains a big bucket on the end of two articulated arms, and is attached to a front tractor. Crawlers are tracked vehicles used to grade, dig, or move earth and large objects. Suction excavators remove materials from holes underground through a powerful pipe.

How early should I reserve the equipment?

Many companies offer equipment rental on a first come, first serve basis. If you need equipment for a time-sensitive project, you should contact the rental service quickly to find out if the machines you need are available and how soon it can be rented.
