Earth Moving Equipment Rental FAQs

What size excavator or skid steer do I need?
It depends on the job (dig depth, trench width, material, and access). Tell BIGGS what you’re doing and the space you have, and we’ll recommend the right machine size.
Do you rent attachments (buckets, augers, breakers, etc.)?
Attachment availability varies by machine. Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish and we’ll confirm the best attachment options and availability.
Do you deliver earth moving equipment to the job site?
Yes. BIGGS can deliver around the Des Moines metro. Call with your address/ZIP and rental dates for availability and a delivery quote.
Can I use this equipment on residential lawns or tight spaces?
Many compact machines work well in tight areas, but ground conditions matter. Tell us your access width and surface conditions so we can recommend the right equipment and tracks/tires.
Do I need training to operate excavators or skid steers?
These machines require trained operators and safe practices. If you’re unsure what’s required, call BIGGS and we’ll help you choose the right equipment.
What are earth moving equipment rental rates?
Rates vary by equipment type/size and rental length (daily/weekly/monthly). Call BIGGS for current pricing and availability.
What should I know about hauling vs delivery?
