A commercial pad is a sequence, not a shopping list. Dirt work wants excavators and loaders. Steel and tilt-up want telehandlers and booms. Interiors want electric scissors. Renting an 80 ft boom in week one “because we will need it later” is how you pay for a parked machine.
In This Guide
Site work
5.5-ton class minis for utilities and footings, CTLs for material, trench rollers if the inspector is real. Compaction is a spec, not a vibe.
Structure and envelope
8k 44 ft telehandlers feed material. 40–66 ft booms put people on steel and walls. RT scissors for straight-up work on a dirt pad. Articulating when the work hides behind the structure.
Interiors
Swap to electric slab scissors by height class (19/26/32/40) and width. Indoor floor-load notes start mattering the day the slab is yours.
Do not mix the phases on one PO
Tell us the week, not the project name. Call (801) 880-8800 and we will stage machines so you are not paying for a telehandler during paint.

FAQ
Should I rent monthly from groundbreaking?
Monthly rates win on duration, but swap classes when the phase changes. A monthly 80 ft boom during interior paint is not a deal.
Boom or RT scissor for tilt-up?
Scissor if the work is over the machine on a decent pad. Boom if you need outreach. Many sites run both.
Do you deliver to downtown Salt Lake pads?
Yes, with a flagger and a place to unload. Send the logistics plan early.
Machines on the lot
Live inventory rotates. These are current machines in the related rental collections — not a promise that a specific used unit is still here.
Need a quote on the right class?
Call or text — we'll match height, width, and capacity to the job instead of renting you a bigger machine than you need.
