Top 5 Most Common Equipment Rentals
Everyday equipment gets rented and used by construction companies to get a variety of projects done. Because DOZR provides many companies with their heavy equipment rental orders, we’ve gathered data on which equipment is more commonly rented. Based on the amount of times we’ve rented out the following equipment, it is clear that if you own this equipment, it might be worth renting it out for use on external marketplaces.
5. Articulated Dump Truck
An articulated dump truck (also known as a rock truck) is a common equipment rental due to how expensive it is to own and the space required to store them. Because of this, renting these machines is typically more efficient for projects of all sizes.
The rock truck’s ability to move around on rough terrain, move materials in bulk, and maneuver in tight spaces makes it a guaranteed way to increase productivity. You can read more about this equipment in our article about the articulated dump truck.
4. Scissor Lift
The scissor lift is a popular machine to rent because of the valuable purpose it has on job sites that require heavy objects to be lifted up high. Scissor lifts are important because their proper use diminishes several safety hazards such as falls or back pain from improper lifting.
Because of this, they are a staple for many different jobs including roofing, industrial construction, and many tasks even outside of construction. Read more about scissor lifts and their purpose.
3. Backhoe
Because of its versatility, the backhoe is a go-to piece of equipment to rent. It is sometimes referred to as the swiss army knife of heavy construction equipment because of its ability to be used for numerous jobs. Backhoes are typically used for landscaping jobs such as moving boulders, gravel and dirt. More information on backhoes and how to use them here.
