Excavator Rental Rates: Renting Heavy Machinery for the Job

When it comes to heavy equipment needs, homeowners and contractors require the right machine for the job. You may need to move loads of stones for landscaping or driveway use, excavate a trench to lay in pipework, clear out a construction site, or place in grading. Owning the heavy machinery may not be in your construction budget if you are a contractor, miner or landscaper. In addition, you may work at various job sites where you only need an excavator or track loader for a short length of time. For residential property owners, buying such heavy equipment is not feasible for your means as you may only need the machine to perform one specific project for a few hours. Renting heavy equipment from a reliable and trustworthy heavy equipment rental company offers the cost effective solution that residential property owners, contractors, farmers, miners, landscapers and others need for specific work tasks. Here at Rent1, we offer a wide variety of heavy equipment, from mini excavators to skid steers, that will fit your project and your budget. One common question we often hear at our company is, "how much does it cost to rent an excavator per hour?" The answer will depend on the type of excavator you need, the delivery costs, and a minimum per hour rate for the machinery and the operator. Check out our following guide to learn about our heavy machinery and operator rates. (more…)

Spreading Soil with a Skid Steer

In the late 1830s, John Deere was a highly regarded blacksmith in Grand Detour, Illinois. He knew his business, finished work on time, and charged fair prices. Deere also was incessantly observant. Once he figured out how to solve a pain point for local farmers – machine a plow that would last – his business took off. By 1842, he had built and sold hundreds of plows, and had begun customizing them for different customers as needed. That tradition continues today. Every John Deere Skid Steer loader or other pieces of heavy machinery can be custom-ordered with more than 100 optional accessories. These include attachments like snowplow attachments, different bucket sizes, angle brooms, utility grapples, rotary tillers, augers, pallet forks, rollers, and many more. Few pieces of heavy machinery can be as productive and versatile. Today, it is a go-to machine for many industries and jobs, from farming, agriculture, landscaping, and construction – and John Deere is the industry leader in all regards. (more…)

John Deere Mini Excavator Safety Tips

According to government studies, hundreds of people die each year from accidents related to the performance of excavators – either operators or innocent bystanders. The greatest risk of harm is either being struck by the machine itself, or one of its components like the bucket or blade. Why do such accidents happen? The main cause of excavator-related injuries is lack of safety and operator training, failure to install or secure accessories properly, maintenance failures, shoddy work practices, and lack of property safety equipment and clothing. Operator and machinery-related issues can lead to injury, but manufacturers such as John Deere have addressed these with innovative and proven safety features: a large cab offering an unobstructed view of the work site; auto-idle option for the engine; pattern changer; foldable pedals; wear-compensating quick coupler; and steps and safety rails adjacent to the cab.
