I scheduled a rental for an F-250, a 15 passenger van, and a 20 foot enclosed trailer 3 months in advance. On multiple occasions I explained that these vehicles would be used for an out of town student competition event 7 hours away. I set up payment through Mississippi State’s Mechanical Engineering department who sent our card number to pay for the rentals. Not only did United Rentals lose the card information, but they failed to procure suitable vehicles for travel. On Friday of the weekend before I was supposed to pick up the rentals they did not have them in town because they did not have our card info on file. They failed to communicate with enough time to provide the service needed. Today I picked up an F-150, which is not really adequate for our payload, and a van that is unfit for a 7 hour drive. I would have preferred United Rentals explain they couldn’t help us and we have to figure out other options than this. In all fairness, the trailer is exceptional, but the service received is unacceptable. Update: I received a call from their customer service department asking what they could do to fix my dissatisfaction. I asked them to find me an F-250 and a clean 15 passenger van and get it to me in Kentucky. They were unable to accomplish this request but they were apologetic and I felt like they had really tried to fix their mistake. For that, I will update my rating from 1 to 2 stars, but I still won't be using them again.

Questions & Answers

What's the right earthmoving equipment for my job?

Excavators are heavy-duty diggers. Typically, the deeper the hole, the bigger the machine required. They can drill, break rocks, create trenches or dig large holes for foundations. A compact excavator is ideal for heavy digging in a tight space. Loaders are perfect for scooping up loose material and depositing it elsewhere. They move well in soft soil but cannot dig very deeply. Bulldozers' giant blade attachments can push large quantities of dirt, debris, shrubs or building remains to where you want them. A bulldozer can also be outfitted with a rear "ripper" that can tear through rock and soil.

How do I calculate excavator bucket capacity and volume?

Ensuring you have the right size bucket for your project is important for proper production and reducing wear and tear on the equipment. There are several factors to consider and calculations to perform to determine the correct bucket. Generally, you'll use OEM specifications, including the maximum lift capacity, bucket weight and bucket capacity. Find more information and how to calculate whether the capacity of your bucket will work in the United Rentals article, “How to Choose the Right Bucket for Your Excavator or Wheel Loader.”

What size skid steer do I need?

United Rentals (Owner) | Aug 29, 2021

The size of skid steer depends on the job you wish to perform. The smallest skid steers typically have a rated operating capacity (ROC) of about 700 pounds and an overall weight of about 3,000 pounds. This smaller size is ideal for a homeowner project as it can usually fit through a walkthrough backyard gate. A very large skid steer can have an ROC in the 3,000-plus-pound range for someone who doesn’t have room for a full-size backhoe or wheel loader. Read more about the seven factors to consider when renting a skid steer from United Rentals.
