What types of equipment are available for rent in Santa ana, ca?

  • Earthmoving Equipment: High-performance excavators, dozers, and versatile skid steers for grading and digging.

  • Material Handling: Industrial forklifts and electric scissor lifts for indoor or outdoor reach.

    Do you offer delivery and pickup?


    Yes! Call or text (714) 277-4207 to coordinate.
    Job-site delivery is what we do best — 99% of rentals go straight to your OC work location. Fast and no runaround. If you’re picking up from our Santa Ana yard, we’ll have your machine fueled, inspected, and ready when you arrive.

Do I need a special license or certification?

You must be a competent and experienced operator. No special state license is required for most private job sites, but by renting you’re confirming you (and your team) know how to run the machine safely. We’ll walk you through it on delivery if needed.

Do i need insurance to rent?

We strongly recommend that you carry your own commercial liability and property insurance that covers rented equipment. You’re fully responsible for loss, theft, or damage from the time it leaves our yard until it’s returned. No LDW or insurance options from us — handle it like the pro you are.

How do I reserve a machine for my project?

Reserving your gear is simple and can be done by phone: (714) 277-4207 or through an online quote. Just pick your machine, select your project dates on the calendar, and head to checkout. We’ll request full payment to secure your dates so the equipment is ready when you are.

What payment methods do you accept for rentals in Orange County?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and debit cards.

What about after-hours or emergencies?

We offer Emergency delivery/pickup coordination 24/7 — same number, (714) 277-4207. We do not provide after-hours repairs or technical support. Machines show up ready to work.

How do rental periods work?

· Daily = 24 hours from pickup/delivery
· Weekly = 7 days
· Monthly = 28 days

Need it longer? Multi-month discounts available job-by-job. Just ask — we keep it flexible for real contractors.

What’s included with the rental?

Standard bucket/attachment is included. Diesel fuel is on you — please return the machine with a full tank. Propane tanks do not need to be refilled. Specialty attachments (breakers, grapple claws, etc.) are extra.

Who handles maintenance and cleaning?

We send every machine job-ready — serviced and inspected. You run it hard. Bring it back reasonably clean. If you’re buried at the end of the job, we can handle refuel + detail for a fair surcharge. Simple.

Do you offer equipment training or operator certifications?

While we aren't a certification center, we do provide a thorough walk-through of basic operational instructions and safety checks upon delivery or pickup. However, for liability and safety on your Orange County job site, the renter is responsible for ensuring the operator is fully qualified and adheres to all relevant OSHA safety regulations.



How do I know which size or type of machinery I need for my project?

Choosing the right machine is the best way to avoid costly delays. Our rental professionals are local experts who understand the terrain and project scopes common in Santa Ana, CA. If you are unsure about digging depth or lifting capacity, give us a call (714) 277-4207! We’ll help you select the exact model to ensure your project stays efficient and on budget.

What do I need at pickup or delivery?

Simple. Just have these ready:

1.    Valid California Driver’s License – We only accept current California-issued licenses.

2.    Payment Method – Major credit card. We charge the full initial rental amount before the equipment leaves our yard.

That’s it. We’ll handle the rest — equipment job-ready, no delays.
