The Advantages Of Backhoe Rental

By Halle Eveines


Renting construction equipment is a choice easy enough to make considering the steep prices of brand new - even refurbished - equipment for sale. You will find many advantages with backhoe rental, anyway.

And affordability of course is the first of these advantages. Weekly rentals on these backhoes cost $700-$1500, depending on the size of the backhoe loader you rent while a brand new unit costs more than $150,000. If you would need the backhoe for more than a month, it would be advisable to consider leasing services to save money. Always remember the general rule of thumb when acquiring construction equipment. That you would only rent equipment you are not going to need on-site for more than sixty percent of the time. Anything beyond this percentage will cost you more money to rent.

The fact that contractors have very minimal investments when renting the equipment is another advantage. You do not have to worry about storage facilities for the dozer you bought and no longer need. The reason is rental companies will be in charge of delivering and picking up the equipment you will need for your site.

This significantly minimizes expenses on the part of the contractors. As a contractor, you need to always look for ways to cut down on expenses and get the equipment you need. Also, you are able to minimize expenses on repairs and maintenance costs because this is shouldered by the rental companies. Although nobody can deny the advantages of renting construction equipment, you need to be sure you are going to choose the right rental companies to work with.

To start with, you have to learn more about the rental companies you plan working with. You have to look into the length of time these companies have been in business. You need to work with companies that provide the information on products and services they offer. Sites like earthmoving equipment at Hertz Equip are easy to find especially if you are trying to learn more about products you are interested in. Another important thing to consider is whether or not the rental company is recommended by fellow builders or contractors.

Doing so gives you a pretty good idea what you should look for in the rental company you are interested in when it comes to service and product quality. You need to study all your available options before you make a decision as to what construction equipment to rent and where to rent it from.
