UNPROFESSIONAL AND LACKING IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. The woman answering the phone has no business taking calls from the public. She has ZERO expertise in explaining what is available for rent in a clear and articulate manner. I called United Rentals to rent a bobcat/skidsteer to be used for transporting topsoil to level a one acre lot. The woman who answered my call spent almost 10 minutes on the phone with me vaguely describing models on the phone. Never once, did she reference a website and lucidly explain the options available. Instead, she made me feel like I needed to know what I wanted to rent, as if homeowners rent this type of equipment all of the time. Following my call to United Rental, I spent 10 minutes on the phone with my landscaper summarizing this vague conversation with United Rental in Landover. The landscaper said he would go in person to identify the correct machine. I called United Rental back to see if this was okay so that we could pick the right machine for the job and I would pay for the reservation. Same unhelpful and inarticulate woman picked up the phone and was put out that the landscaper was going to come and look at machines. She said that the machine I wanted was in Virginia. I said surely there is a way for you to show the landscaper what is available e.g. catalogue/posters etc. She said that she can have him pull things on his phone while he is in the shop but that he was not allowed at her computer due to COVID. During my two calls and 25 minutes wasted, I was never given links to a website or a clear way to figure out what is available for rent. A gentleman picked up the phone and rather than diffuse a situation with actual information/website, he hung up on me. I don't know how these folks are in business. It should be crystal clear what is available for rent. The person should be able to clearly say A, B and C while pointing to a website/catalogue/something.

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?

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.
