After a horrible experience with Pacific Rim (stay away!) I called United Rentals. Wow they were so great to work with, great customer service, I had a clean, working excavator the next day, had no problems whatsoever. Great experience, will use them from now on!

Customer service in parent branch was excellent. Customer service in branch where equipment picked up was excellent. Shop mechanic very helpful and polite.

The rental was supposed to be in Woodinville, and ended up being in Seattle. When arriving there, the store was in the middle of renting the equipment to another contractor, even though it was on reservation. Not a great experience with either the reservation being where it was supposed to be, nor with store sales/management decision making processes.

After several weeks on reserve, I was told that the truck I needed was not available. Sorry. This is for a shop move and could have cost our business a lot of money and goodwill with our clients. Zero so far - very unimpressed. I called back later and the poor guy who had to make the call to begin with found a truck in Tacoma that was almost right (no walls). He had it brought up to Seattle for an on time pick-up.

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.
