Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Equipment Rentals

Check out the answers to these frequently asked questions to gain more insight into our equipment rentals and how they can benefit your roofing business.

What Equipment Is Used in Roofing?

Herc Rentals offers a wide range of equipment for roofing applications. A roofing lift rental, like a boom or scissor lift, enables workers to perform their duties safely and efficiently at heights. You can also rent machines to help you move and handle roofing materials and tools, as well as site support equipment like air compressors and power generators.

What Equipment Is Used in Wall Covering Jobs?

You will also find numerous products for wall installation and finishing. Select tools like drywall sanders to prepare walls for wallpaper or paint and drywall lifts to raise and position large drywall sheets. Rotary hammers allow you to drill and chisel concrete and masonry, while concrete saws can cut through these harder materials. 

What Equipment Is Used for Exterior Projects?

Exterior construction and maintenance encompass a wide range of tasks, from foundation work to facade finishing. You may own essential tools like measuring tapes, levels and hand tools, but renting specialized equipment helps you work more efficiently and safely. 

If you're wondering what types of equipment you can rent for exterior construction projects, we have the solutions. Choose earthmoving machines like bulldozers, skid steer loaders and excavators, as well as mixers and vibrators for preparing concrete on-site. Additional options include telehandlers and forklifts for material handling, light towers and pressure washers. 

If you need to access elevated areas for tasks like painting, siding installation or structural repairs, browse our selection of aerial work platforms to find the right fit for your job. We also rent generators to power outdoor jobsites and tools. 

How Do I Select the Right Equipment for My Project?

Navigating all the available equipment solutions can be challenging. One advantage of partnering with Herc Rentals is the expert product selection guidance you'll receive. We'll help you pick the products that deliver the best results while fitting your budget.

Can Herc Rentals Deliver Equipment Directly to My Jobsite?

Yes, we offer equipment delivery as an additional service for convenience and efficiency. With a network of locations across North America, you can find one near your jobsite. Once you select the equipment you need, you can coordinate with our team during the rental setup process. 

We'll learn when and where you need the equipment so it's ready for your job. At the end of your rental, we can also pick up the equipment, saving you the time and hassle of bringing it back.

What Kinds of Aerial Equipment Are Available for Roofing Work?

At Herc Rentals, we offer an extensive inventory of aerial equipment that may support your roofing work. Options include:

• Telescopic boom lifts: These rentals offer the greatest horizontal reach, making them ideal for covering large roof sections and reaching around obstacles. 

• Articulating boom lifts: These lifts have jointed arms that are easy to maneuver around building contours, pipes and other obstructions. 

• Scissor lifts: These lifts are ideal for providing vertical elevation on stable ground. They enable workers to access lower roof sections. 

• Personnel lifts: Get a compact and lightweight machine that allows a single worker to access confined elevated areas. 

When Should I Rent a Boom Lift for a Roofing Project?

A boom lift can be helpful for roofing projects requiring height and outreach. It provides access in situations where workers can't reach the roof directly. Here are a few situations where you might consider renting a boom lift:

• Accessing steep or high roofs

• Reaching over landscaping or lower building sections

• Covering extensive rooflines

• Working on complex roof geometries with obstructions

Should I Use a Telescopic Boom Lift or an Articulating Boom Lift for Exterior Projects?

The choice between these two lifts depends on the project and its specific access challenges. Telescopic boom lifts offer the maximum horizontal reach and work well for accessing large walls, reaching across wide spaces or working on an expansive roof from a single point. 

Articulating boom lifts have multiple pivot points, which enable them to navigate around obstacles, reach over structures and access tight spaces. They work well for buildings with complex shapes or other obstructive features.
