Before Bob Vila started talking about do-it-yourself home improvement projects, heavy equipment rentals were the domain of burly construction guys, project managers, and city blocks surrounded by fences to keep the curious out.
As Dylan said, ‘The times are a’changin’.”
Anyone with a little cash and a spare weekend can tackle projects from landscaping to room demolition.
Green Equipment Rental has all the right heavy equipment to get the job done and the service technicians who can help and advise and the know-how so you stay within your budget.
The tips should help as well.
Height Requirements
It doesn’t matter if you are renting a forklift, wheel loader or excavator. It’s vital to know the heights the machine must reach for each job. Don’t trust the specifications shown online — verify with your rental technician. Make sure the equipment you’re looking at can reach your maximum, and minimum height requirements.
What is Tipping Load’?
The tipping load is the amount of weight that would lift the rear tires when applied to the bucket at the machine's maximum reach-point in the lift cycle.
While you probably won’t know the precise maximum weight, that’s ok. But be sure to get a rough idea of the amount, and type, of material you’ll be moving.
A reporter once asked Dolly Parton how she fit into her skintight costumes and she replied: “It’s like trying to put ten-pounds of mud in a five-pound sack.”
That may be OK for Ms. Parton, but you don’t want to exceed the tipping load of your heavy equipment.
Ground Condition
It’s vital to know if the equipment will operate on a flat, smooth surface, or rocky or slanted. A crane, for example, that is not level causes side loading of the boom and reduces the rated capacity.
A crane, 3 degrees out of level, can shrink the rated capacity by as much as 50 percent.
The difference between surface conditions will also determine if a tracked machine is needed or if a wheeled machine is better. The ground condition can also dictate the tire tread the project requires.
Extra Tools or Attachments
The specifics of the project will help determine the attachments needed. Equipment used for demolition will require different attachments than equipment used for drilling or hammering.
If you are not sure what attachments you need, our service team at Green Rental Equipment of Miami can help.
Project Length
When you call, one of the first questions we may ask you is something like, “How long do you need the machine?”
Be sure you are ready with the specific dates so the equipment coordinator can verify the machine’s availability.
Transportation
If you don’t have the equipment or employees to move the equipment to, and from, the job site, Green Equipment Rental of Miami can transport the equipment for you.
At Green Equipment Rental, we rent a broad range of equipment, such as excavators, dozers, motor graders, and forklifts. Browse our rental inventory listings and if you don't find something you're looking for, call us today.
