Choosing an Equipment Rental Company

Choosing the right equipment rental company is often more difficult than it sounds. Many equipment companies will advertise low rates to attract more customers, but then they make up the cost by charging high delivery fees or add on other fees and charges. If you are renting a bunch of different types of equipment it's more convenient to choose a rental company that offers all the equipment, and usually you can end up getting a discount since you are renting many machines at the same time. It's also a good idea to read reviews from past customers, as there are many equipment rental companies that have poor customer service and don't maintain their equipment well. The easiest way to find a dependable, affordable heavy equipment rental company is by finding your nearest city right here on ShoutWire and filling out a quick quote or by calling one of our partners listed in your area. ShoutWire screens local companies and only partners with the best, so you don' have to waste time doing your own research.

  • Ask For Specials - Many companies offer promotions to entice customers to choose them over their competition, so don't be afraid to ask.

Buying Vs. Renting Earthmoving Equipment

Many customers think that purchasing heavy equipment is the way to go, that is until they find out how expensive purchasing equipment can be. Purchasing construction equipment typically costs upwards of $10,000 and can exceed more than $100,000 for large capacity, heavy equipment. Unless you have access to financing and plan on using the machinery a lot, and for a long period of time, renting equipment will be a better option. Leasing is also an option as it has the advantage of not putting down a bunch of money up front, but still gives you the option to purchase at the end of the lease.
