An excavator is a large piece of construction equipment often used to remove earth and soil from a building site. They consist of a boom arm, a bucket, and an operator cab. Because they are so expensive to purchase, however, many builders or contractors rent them only temporarily to avoid the long-term capital expenditure. Here's what you should know about renting an excavator.   

What Are Excavators Used For?

Excavators are usually used for various earthmoving tasks. For example, they are invaluable for digging trenches and holes, and for grading land prior to construction. They are also useful for debris removal and when outfitted with a breaker attachment, make building demolition a breeze. They are also beneficial for material handling. They can lift items that would not fit in other equipment's bucket attachments, and some excavators have raised cabs and counterweights to boost visibility and stability.

What Are the Benefits of Excavator Rental?

Renting an excavator offers numerous benefits over purchasing. For instance, you can test out the equipment first before you buy. This lets you determine how well it meets your needs before committing to a purchase. Moreover, it provides flexibility by giving contractors access to the most recent models with the latest technology. However, the most important advantage is that it lets you control your costs. You have no large capital expenditure, and you do not have the expense or responsibilities of maintenance, storage, or upkeep.
