Because heavy machinery tends to be so large and expensive, it is usually more practical to rent heavy equipment than own it. Most heavy equipment rental companies offer daily, weekly, or monthly rentals with daily rates getting cheaper the longer you rent the equipment. We use the term heavy equipment to refer to the large trucks and machinery used in construction, farming, mining, and landscaping. It does not include tools, lawn mowers or trailers. Instead, heavy equipment is more likely to include backhoes, graders, loaders, excavators, pavers, scrapers, and more.
