Renting heavy equipment such as excavator is a smart and budget-friendly way to expand your fleet for large construction projects. For short-term needs — such as requiring an excavator of a specific size — renting can be far more economical than purchasing.
Before securing a rental, it’s crucial to consult with your local dealer to assess your job site requirements. They can help you determine the ideal excavator size and coordinate transportation to your site, ensuring a smooth operation.
As you explore rental options, consider these key questions to make an informed decision.
How Much Does Renting an Excavator Cost?
The cost to rent a large or mini excavator depends on a range of factors, including:
- Type and size of the excavator
- Rental duration
- Seasonal demand
- Availability and location
- Add-ons and attachments
- Transportation needs
- Insurance and maintenance
At WE Rent, we can prepare an estimate for your excavator rental needs. You’ll know what you will pay before taking possession of the excavator. If you need to keep the excavator for an extended period of time, we can provide you with the updated rental price.
Which Excavator Will I Need?
Our professional WE Rent team is an excellent starting point for finding out what size of excavator you need. We can assist you in navigating the decision-making process and guide you through the rental options.
Some things to consider when renting an excavator include:
- Conventional tail or reduced tail swing configuration
- Operating weight
- Horsepower
- Standard or long arm
- Auxiliary hydraulic flow
- Dozer blade
- Steel tracks or rubber track pads
If you’re working in an area with restricted space but still need a large excavator, a reduced tail swing model is an ideal solution. Additionally, zero tail swing mini excavators like the are ideal for working in space-restricted areas.
Be sure your employees have the necessary skills to operate the excavator safely. Training available through Williams Machinery.
