Rentals

Ah, spring is here! (According to the calendar, anyway)

That means we can begin to work on all those outdoor projects we dreamed about through the winter months. Projects such as building that deck we've been planning, regrading our yard so the water will flow away from our house, mowing down that quarter acre of brush and saplings to expand our yard, and grabbing the chain saw and chipper to clean up the mess left behind by the winter storms. If this sounds like you then give us a call. We just may have the equipment you need to get the job done.

Posted Road Sign

Posted Roads

If you live in Maine, one rite of Spring is the annual posting of roads. Most posted roads are limited to vehicle traffic that are registered under 23,000 GVW. If you are thinking about renting a piece of heavy machinery such as an excavator or track loader, be aware that we may not be able to delivery to your site exactly when you need it. In most cases we can obtain a temporary permit from the town's Public Service Director. Some towns allow traffic heavier than 23,000 GVW if there is a cold night that "refreezes" the ground thus allowing us to deliver early in the morning before the temperature gets above 32° F. Check with your town's Public Services director if you have questions about posted roads in your area.
