If you're building a road, you will need scrapers, bulldozers and graders. When properly deployed, each can systematically follow the other to progressively upgrade at each stage of the project.
Before submitting a bid on a project, call us for leasing rates on the construction equipment you will need so you can include them in your paperwork.
For smaller projects like trenches, basements, and some grading, a backhoe can be relied on to perform the task you need. They are best suited for digging below the surface on which the equipment rests.
Depending on the need, there is a trencher designed for it. Wheel trenchers, chain trenchers, portable, and micro trenchers have specific uses in either tight, urban environs, or in rural areas where more room is available.
Fun Facts: John Page invented the dragline excavator in 1904 to help dig the Chicago Canal and in 1923 he expanded on this piece by developing the walking dragline.
If you're clearing out a sensitive ecosystem, leasing a forwarder rather than a skidder is a better option for moving downed timber. Because forwarders carry trees above the ground to the loading area, there is less negative impact on the soil.
Clamshell equipment works well for moving loose materials such as crushed rock or stone, sand, gravel, and other types of aggregate. It's primary function is lifting material from one area and depositing it in another.
Basic excavating construction equipment consists of backhoes, draglines, power shovels, scrapers, bulldozers, and clamshells. The terrain and nature of the project are the determining factors when deciding which to lease.
A compact excavator can make short work of smaller or intermediate-sized projects. In addition, attachments are available for lease so that it can function as an auger, bucket hoe, rock breaker, or perform any number of other functions.
A power shovel consists of the cabin, cables, track system, boom, saddle block, bucket, boom point sheaves, boom foot-pin, the rack, and the stick. It is a key piece of equipment for projects where significant digging is needed.
Generally speaking, the construction equipment you will be leasing falls into one of several categories: earth moving, lifting, hauling, digging, tunneling, or pumping. If you are not sure of what you need, let us know what you need to do and we'll take it from there.
Backhoes and excavators perform similar tasks, but on different scales. An excavator is a single purpose piece of equipment, designed exclusively for digging. A backhoe performs the tasks of both an excavator and a loader, although on a smaller scale.
Bedding conveyors allow greater precision as to where, how much, and when bedding materials can placed around pipes. In addition, they make working in tight spaces or heavily populated areas easier and safer.
The load rating of a crane is determined by factors that affect the crane’s stability. These include the structural integrity of the crane, the weight of the load, the load radius, and the length of the crane’s boom.
For safe, above-ground work, lease a cherry picker bucket to make short work of many projects. For electrical construction or working with lighting standards or high-rise buildings, you will be able to lift your crews safely to the work site.
Before your crews begin using the equipment you lease, make sure they are checked out on it. Proper use of construction equipment means your project will move faster, more safely, and within the allotted budget. Improper use can destroy the entire plan.
Backhoes and excavators perform similar tasks, but on different scales. An excavator is a single purpose piece of equipment, designed exclusively for digging. A backhoe performs the tasks of both an excavator and a loader, although on a smaller scale.
One of the great things about leasing construction equipment is that once the job's completed, there are no worries about storage and upkeep. Simply return it to us.
Rental costs are easy to compute when submitting a bid for a job or project. This is especially important if you need equipment that you do not already own and cannot afford the expense of purchasing it.
For deforestation operations prior to construction, excavators and log loaders can scrape, cut, shred, and mulch undergrowth, stumps, small trees, and other waste materials.
Lease a backfill blade for your extractor and you can grade, level, trench, perform general dozer work, or backfill with ease. Attachment is quick and safe, and makes for a versatile and powerful piece of construction equipment.
For a time, laying new asphalt over old was the standard procedure. However, there are limits to how frequently this can be done. At some point, the surface will be too high and drainage will be affected. A cold planer will quickly strip the old asphalt, making laying a new surface easy and safe.
