You're Getting Charged Too Much. Here's Why:

In many cases, companies like yours are paying way too much for equipment rentals. Why? Because most rental companies price their excavators and heavy equipment like they’re selling gym memberships:

It’s like signing up for an annual gym membership at $1,372 and you only end up going twice a month — now each visit costs you nearly $60!!—Same goes for your rental, at first, that might not seem like much… but on long-term jobs? That’s thousands of dollars gone for equipment that’s barely moving.

And guess who’s pocketing that money? The rental company.

The Real Cost of Standard Rental Rates

Zero Downtime Excuses

Equipment shows up on time or it’s free delivery

If something breaks, we fix it fast — not when it suits us.

Every month, standard pricing means:

💸

You’re paying for hours the machine isn’t working

💸

You’re burning budget that should go to your crew or your bottom line

💸

You’re padding the pockets of a rental company that doesn’t care
