Construction Equipment Rental

Construction equipment rental businesses provide heavy equipment and construction machinery - excavators, skid steers, lifts, compressors, and contractors' equipment serving construction industry rental needs.

Daily rates range from $200-$1,500 depending on equipment, weekly $800-$5,000.

Operating 15-40 pieces of equipment generates $250,000-$1M+ annually with 35-55% margins after equipment costs.

Target clients include general contractors, specialty contractors, landscapers and excavators, homeowners doing projects, municipalities, and construction companies.

Services include heavy equipment rentals, aerial lifts and scaffolding, compaction and concrete equipment, power tools and equipment, delivery and pickup service, and equipment training and safety.

Success requires significant capital for equipment purchases, understanding construction equipment and maintenance, relationships with contractors and builders, yard space for equipment storage, potentially equipment operator training, and managing equipment utilization and maintenance schedules.
