What is Excavating Equipment?
Excavating equipment refers to a broad category of light to heavy machinery used in construction, landscaping, road construction, and utility work for moving earth, rock, or other materials. It is important to choose the right equipment for tasks such as digging trenches, grading, demolishing, and hauling debris to ensure safety and efficiency on your construction site.
Common types of excavating equipment include:
Skid Steers: Compact, versatile machines used for digging, grading, and moving materials. They can be equipped with various attachments to suit different jobs.
Mini Excavators: Small but powerful, mini excavators are perfect for digging in tight spaces where larger equipment can’t operate.
Trenchers: Machines designed for digging narrow, straight trenches for laying pipes or cables.
Compaction Equipment: These tools, such as plate compactors, rammers, and rollers, are used to compress soil, gravel, or asphalt, ensuring a solid foundation for construction.
Pumps: Trash and submersible pumps are used to remove water from construction sites, preventing flooding and ensuring a dry, safe working environment.
Trailers: Necessary for transporting heavy equipment or material between job sites.
Badger Contractors Rental and Supply offers all of these types of excavation equipment, either for rent or sale, depending on your specific project needs.
Excavation Equipment Rental vs. Purchase
Deciding whether to rent or buy excavation equipment is a critical decision for contractors and builders. The right choice depends on several factors, including the frequency of use, budget, and storage capabilities. At Badger, we offer a wide range of construction machinery for rent and for sale, from large excavators to compact excavators. Here’s our handy guide to help you determine whether to rent or buy:
Rent Excavation Equipment If:
You use the equipment less than 60% of the time or only need it for one specific project.
If your construction business doesn’t frequently require excavation equipment, renting might be the more cost-effective option. Renting allows you to access the machinery you need without the long-term financial commitment of buying.
You don’t have the space to store excavation machinery securely.
Heavy machinery takes up significant space, and securely storing equipment can be costly, especially if you lack proper facilities. Renting lets you avoid the hassle and expense of finding adequate storage.
You want access to the latest construction equipment technology without the high cost of upgrading your machinery.
Technology in the construction industry evolves rapidly. When you rent from Badger Contractors Rental and Supply, you can be confident that you’re using the most up-to-date equipment without having to constantly upgrade your inventory.
You don’t have the time or budget to maintain the equipment.
Excavation equipment requires regular maintenance to stay in peak condition. If you don’t have the resources to handle upkeep, renting might be your best option. At Badger, we handle all maintenance for rental equipment, so you don’t have to worry about repairs or downtime.
You’re dealing with equipment failure of your regular excavator and need a quick replacement to avoid downtime.
If your regular equipment breaks down, renting allows you to quickly replace it, keeping your project on track. We offer fast, flexible rentals so you can avoid costly delays.
Buying now would tie up too much of your project budget.
Purchasing heavy equipment is a significant investment, and for some contractors, it may not make sense financially to buy. Renting allows you to save capital for other project needs.
You want simplified logistics. Badger will deliver, pick up, repair, and maintain all excavator equipment rentals.
Renting from Badger takes the stress out of logistics. We’ll deliver your equipment to your site, pick it up when you’re done, and handle all the maintenance and repairs in between.
Buy Excavation Equipment If:
You use it for multiple projects and more than 60% of the time.
If excavation is a regular part of your construction business, buying equipment could be a more economical choice in the long run.
You have adequate space to store the machinery securely.
Owning equipment means you’ll need secure storage to protect your investment from weather and theft. If you have the space, purchasing may be worth it.
You want full control over the equipment and its maintenance.
Owning equipment gives you complete control over how it’s maintained and used. You can ensure that it’s always in top condition and available whenever you need it.
You’re looking to build long-term equity in your assets.
When you purchase equipment, you’re making an investment that adds to the value of your company’s assets. Over time, owning can be more cost-effective than renting if the equipment is used frequently.
The cost of renting repeatedly exceeds the equipment’s purchase price.
If you find yourself renting the same machinery multiple times, it may be cheaper in the long run to buy it outright rather than continually paying rental fees.
You want to customize or modify the machinery for specific project needs.
Ownership allows you to make modifications to equipment, tailoring it to your specific job requirements.
You can manage your own maintenance and repair logistics.
If you have the resources to handle repairs and maintenance in-house, owning the equipment might be a better option.
