What are the performance requirements for your job?

The first questions to ask before renting a mini excavator are what will you be using it for and what capabilities does the job require. At Wilson Equipment we carry mini excavators from top manufacturers like CASE and Takeuchi that range in power from 12 HP to 114 HP and in operating weights from 2,535 lb to 34,480 lb.

Are you digging down to utilities? Excavating dirt into trucks? Using a specific attachment? Our machines have varying arm configurations and lengths, dig depths, and reaches, so we can find the mini excavator rental with the exact features you need for the project. All you have to do is describe your job to our rental specialists, and they'll help you find the excavator best suited to completing it as efficiently as possible.

What are the jobsite conditions?

Once you determine the specifics of the job, next you need to consider the jobsite conditions. Whether you're working next to buildings, entering the work area through a narrow gate, or operating on a congested site will all factor in to determine which excavator you should rent. We have zero, short tail, and conventional swing models available, as well as machines with retractable undercarriages and low profile canopy heights of only 7' 7". Let our team know the particular conditions, and specifics like needing the machine to fit through a garage or doorway, and they'll ensure you find the mini excavator rental that checks all your boxes.

Do you need any attachments?

Our mini excavators have a variety of attachment options to equip the machine for specific tasks. Using the right attachment with your mini excavator rental will help you finish the job faster and avoid costly, time consuming manual labor. In addition to buckets, we also have trenchers, mowers, rippers, plate compactors, grapples, augers, and many others to tailor the excavator to your project.

What is your budget for your mini excavator rental?

Before renting a mini excavator, it's important to consider your budget and your timeline. Not having a clear idea of how long you need the mini excavator or what steps of the project should be completed before renting can cause you to pay for your machine when you don't actually need it and end up over budget. When you talk to our rental team at Wilson Equipment, ask about price range and any other fees included in the rental.

Keeping costs under control depends on correctly determining which type of equipment and capabilities are right for the job, and the rental equipment specialists at Wilson Equipment can provide an analysis for you to make sure you are receiving the best machine for your project.

Will your insurance cover your mini excavator rental?

Wilson Equipment requires that you have insurance that covers the rental machine before renting from our fleet. All you have to do is contact your insurance provider before coming in to see what steps you need to take. If you don't have an insurance provider, call the Wilson rental department, and our team will recommend one.
