Purchasing construction equipment can be costly. When you’ve got a big job to do, spending money to add to your fleet of construction vehicles and other equipment can also be time-consuming. On the other hand, renting can be fast and easy. These types of equipment are the perfect rental option to get your next project started as quickly as possible.
Excavators
Excavators can be used in a wide variety of different earth moving and construction projects. You can benefit from renting an excavator if you are performing the following tasks:
- Digging
- Trenching
- Demolition
- Construction
- Plumbing
If you have a smaller construction task, a mini-excavator may be the right choice for you. Mini-excavators are easy to get on-site and have a lighter footprint on both commercial and residential land.
Forklifts and Reach Forks
Commonly used for heavy lifting and loading, forklifts and reach forks are two of the most commonly used types of construction equipment and are the perfect tool to rent. The most popular types of forklifts and reach forks may include the following:

- Industrial forklift
- Pallet jack
- Order pickers
- Rough terrain forklift

High Reach Equipment
From multi-story buildings to high ceiling commercial property, high reach equipment is essential if you want to get the job done safely and effectively. Common types of high reach equipment for rent may include:

- Towable boom lifts
- Articulated knuckle booms
- Telescopic boom lift

Skid Steers
If you have a larger construction project that would need a variety of different equipment, but your budget will only allow for one, skid steers could be your most cost-effective solution. With many features that can do a variety of tasks, consider renting a skid steer if you are doing the following:
- Brush clearing
- Site cleanup
- Construction
- Demolition
- Excavation
- Farming
- Road construction and maintenance

Residential Equipment
Being a contractor doesn’t mean you only need the “biggest and baddest” construction equipment. If you have a residential customer, there are certain smaller tools that you may need to get the job done with precision. Renting tools for plumbing, landscaping, moving and other projects can be a cost-effective way to complete your project. For example, if you have a one-off project in which you need a dehumidifier, why purchase it outright? Here’s a list of residential equipment that is among the most common to rent:
- Generators
- Light towers
- Plumbing snakes
