Rental Equipment for Stadiums and Arenas

Stadiums and arenas are massive, heavily used structures. They require frequent maintenance and repairs to keep events running smoothly and ensure the safety of participants and spectators. 

Whether you're a construction company, event production team, facility manager or sports organization, Herc Rentals offers a wide selection of arena equipment rental products to help complete your jobs faster and more efficiently. Our team understands the unique challenges of arena operations — you'll have access to rental solutions backed by superior service and support from start to finish.

Choose the Right Stadium Equipment Rentals for Your Needs

Herc Rentals offers high-quality, well-maintained rentals from leading manufacturers for new builds, renovations, seasonal changeovers, emergency response and other essential stadium projects across multiple equipment categories.

Aerial Lifts and Work Platforms

Stadiums and arenas have many high places that workers must reach to paint, clean, change light bulbs and handle various repairs. At Herc Rentals, you can rent aerial work platforms for stadiums to allow crew members to perform these and other job duties productively and safely at heights. 

Choose from a broad selection of full-size and compact electric scissor lifts, boom lifts and vertical mast lifts in multiple sizes and lift and reach capacities. We also have rigging solutions for scoreboards, lighting trusses and overhead installation work.

Climate Control

Facilities need to create a comfortable environment for event participants and spectators. Herc Rentals carries all types of climate control equipment for temporary heating and cooling in large and more concentrated areas. 

Available options can include portable air conditioning and heating units in various sizes and capacities, dehumidifiers for moisture removal, fans and blowers for targeted temperature control, chillers, air handlers and more. 

Material Handling

Stadium workers must haul large volumes of supplies, staging materials, food and beverage products and other goods over significant distances. We are your one-stop source for innovative material handling rentals to meet all your lifting, loading, unloading and transporting needs. 

You'll find everything from pallet jacks and forklifts to telehandlers, cranes and conveyors. Machines are available for indoor and outdoor use, so you can easily tailor them to your unique material handling situation. 

Power Generation

An unexpected power outage at an arena or stadium can disrupt an event — and poses a significant safety issue. Renting a mobile generator from Herc Rentals ensures the electricity will keep flowing, giving you peace of mind. 

We have portable, skid-mounted and towable diesel and gas generators in multiple sizes, configurations and power output capacities. We also offer support equipment like load banks, uninterruptible power supplies and fuel tanks. 

Cleaning

Keeping stadiums and arenas clean is a never-ending challenge. Herc Rentals makes this task more manageable with our array of powerful and efficient cleaning rentals. Our arena floor care equipment rental options can keep heavily traveled surfaces spotless — choose from various floor scrubbers, sweepers, sanders, scrapers and buffers. 

You can also rent industrial pressure washers to keep the building exterior presentable and help attract more spectators to your events. 

Utility Vehicles

Stadium personnel often need to cover a lot of ground when moving between locations throughout the day. We have a large vehicle fleet for rent, including golf carts and utility trucks, that can accommodate workers and their tools and supplies to facilitate smooth transportation. 

Crowd and Traffic Control

Stadium and arena traffic congestion before and after events can cause headaches for crews and spectators. Our collection of highly visible arrow and message board rentals provides clear direction for vehicles and pedestrians, reducing stress and lowering the risk of accidents and injuries. We also offer temporary fencing for rent to prevent pedestrians from accessing restricted areas. 

Earthmoving

If you're a contractor involved in a stadium or arena construction project, you'll likely need various earthmoving machines to dig, load, unload and transport dirt, gravel, stone and other materials. Herc Rentals has whatever it takes to get the job done. 

Our extensive earthmoving equipment rental fleet includes excavators, backhoes, skid steers, compact track loaders, dozers and other jobsite essentials. Most machines are available in several sizes to match your work environment.

How Can Renting Support Your Stadium Operations?

Using rental equipment for stadiums and arenas can provide numerous benefits. You won't have to make a sizable down payment or substantial long-term financial commitment, which frees up more capital for other operational areas. You can also avoid many of the prohibitive ownership costs, such as repairs, maintenance, depreciation and storage. 

Many stadium projects are temporary. When you rent, you only have to acquire machines and tools when you need them. You can also select task-specific models that allow you to experience the best results for the most challenging jobs. You can even use renting to test and compare products as part of the evaluation process if you're considering a purchase.
