How to Choose the Right Size Excavator

Three things decide it: access, dig depth, and how the machine gets to the site.

  • Access

    How tight is the way in?

    Measure the narrowest gate, path or side yard the machine has to pass through. A compact excavator fits where a mid-size one will not, and on a residential lot that usually settles the size before anything else does.

  • Dig depth

    How deep does the dig go?

    Footings and utility trenches need depth and reach, not bucket size. Tell us how deep you are going and how far out you need to reach, and we will match a machine that gets there without stretching.

  • Getting it there

    Towing it yourself, or should we deliver?

    Machine weight has to match your trailer and your truck. If it does not, we deliver to the site instead — usually cheaper than renting a bigger trailer to haul it.

Still not sure? Call the Oshkosh yard and describe the job. We rent this equipment every day and can usually tell you the right size in a couple of minutes.

What Excavators Get Rented For

Trenching, footings, grading and small demolition — the digging a shovel and a long weekend will not finish.

Most excavator calls we take in Oshkosh are utility trenches, footings for a deck or an addition, drainage and regrading, stump and small structure removal, and cleanup after a build.

A compact machine gets through a side-yard gate and works on a finished lawn. A mid-size machine moves more dirt per hour when the site is open and the dig is deeper. Tell us the job and the access and we will tell you which one to take.

  • Common jobs Trenching, footings, drainage, regrading, demolition and site cleanup
  • Who rents them Homeowners on a weekend project and contractors running a crew
  • Rates Daily, weekly and monthly, with weekend pickup charged as a single day

Excavator Delivery and Pickup

Pick it up at the Oshkosh yard, or we haul it to your site.

You can hitch a compact machine to your own trailer at our yard on the morning the job starts, or we can haul it out and set it down where you are working. Delivery runs across Oshkosh, Appleton, Fond du Lac and the wider Fox Valley.

If access is tight, say so when you book. Knowing what the truck has to get past changes how we load the machine and where we can put it down.
