Choosing the Right Excavator for Your Project
Before renting, consider these key questions:
1. What’s the scope of your work?
Is it deep trenching, material removal, or lifting? The job type influences the excavator size and attachment needs.
2. What are the site conditions?
Narrow urban space? Rocky ground? Soft sand? Choosing between crawler vs wheeled models or compact vs heavy-duty can save you time and hassle.
3. How long is your project timeline?
Short-term rentals save on costs. Long-term? You’ll need a dependable partner with responsive support.
4. Do you need attachments?
Consider:
- Hydraulic breakers (for demolition)
- Augers (for drilling)
- Grapples (for waste handling)
