When it comes to heavy equipment needs, homeowners and contractors require the right machine for the job. You may need to move loads of stones for landscaping or driveway use, excavate a trench to lay in pipework, clear out a construction site, or place in grading. Owning the heavy machinery may not be in your construction budget if you are a contractor, miner or landscaper. In addition, you may work at various job sites where you only need an excavator or track loader for a short length of time. For residential property owners, buying such heavy equipment is not feasible for your means as you may only need the machine to perform one specific project for a few hours. Renting heavy equipment from a reliable and trustworthy heavy equipment rental company offers the cost effective solution that residential property owners, contractors, farmers, miners, landscapers and others need for specific work tasks. Here at Rent1, we offer a wide variety of heavy equipment, from mini excavators to skid steers, that will fit your project and your budget. One common question we often hear at our company is, "how much does it cost to rent an excavator per hour?" The answer will depend on the type of excavator you need, the delivery costs, and a minimum per hour rate for the machinery and the operator. Check out our following guide to learn about our heavy machinery and operator rates. (more…)
