Herc Rentals maintains one of the most comprehensive rental inventories in North America. Each category includes multiple options so you can match equipment to your project size, timeline and site conditions.
Aerial Work Platforms and Access Equipment
Mobile elevated work platforms provide safe access to heights from 12 to 185 feet. Our aerial work platform solutions include scissor lift rentals, articulating booms and telescopic booms. We offer electric, diesel and hybrid power options for indoor and outdoor applications. Depending on availability, platform capacities range from 500 to 1,000 pounds. Capacity depends on the model and extension requirements.
Earthmoving and Site Development
Excavators, wheel loaders, dozers and backhoes move material efficiently across jobsites. Our earthmoving equipment fleet includes compact machines for residential work. We can also offer large excavators exceeding 80,000 pounds for industrial applications. Skid steers and compact track loaders navigate tight spaces while maintaining impressive digging depth and reach specifications.
Material Handling and Lifting
Telehandler, personnel lift and forklift rentals move materials vertically and horizontally. Our material handling equipment includes electric models for indoor warehouse use. We also offer rough-terrain machines for outdoor construction sites. Lift capacities can range from 3,000 to 15,000 pounds, while mast heights extend up to 56 feet for specialized applications.
Power Generation and Lighting
Portable generators supply electricity from 6 to 2,000 kW. With these rentals, you can power tools, lighting and climate control equipment on remote jobsites or during utility outages. Sound-attenuated models reduce noise in residential areas and special events. LED light towers, metal halide systems and solar-powered units illuminate work areas after dark.
Climate Control Solutions
Temporary heating and cooling equipment maintains comfort and protects materials. This equipment supports construction, remediation and event applications. Units can range from 5,000 to 2,000,000 BTU capacity. We offer electric, indirect-fired and direct-fired models. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from enclosed spaces, and air movers accelerate drying after water damage or during concrete curing processes.
Air Compressors and Pneumatic Tools
Compressed air powers everything from impact wrenches to jackhammers. Rent portable compressors from 90 to 1,600 CFM. These work alongside pneumatic tools that eliminate the need for electrical hookups on remote sites. Aftercoolers reduce moisture in air lines. Towable units provide mobility between work zones without requiring transportation equipment.
Concrete, Masonry and Surface Preparation
Power trowels, concrete saws, mixers and screeds handle everything from residential flatwork to commercial pours. Scarifiers and grinders prepare existing surfaces for overlays and coatings. Walk-behind saws cut control joints, or use ride-on trowels to finish large commercial slabs efficiently. Concrete buggies transport material across uneven terrain.
Compaction and Paving Equipment
Plate compactors, jumping jacks and ride-on rollers prepare soil and asphalt surfaces for construction. Construction equipment rental options include double-drum rollers and pneumatic tire rollers for large paving projects. Vibratory plates compact granular materials in trenches and confined areas. They work where larger equipment cannot operate effectively or safely.
Specialty Trade Tools
Electrical contractor tools include cable pullers and conduit benders. Mechanical trade tools feature threading machines, pipe cutters and drain cleaning equipment. The ProResources™ line offers industrial-grade specialty tools for precision applications. Rent equipment like torque wrenches, hydraulic crimpers and laser alignment systems to ensure installations meet exact specifications. They help you comply with building code requirements.
Site Services and Support Equipment
Get jobsite solutions like temporary fencing, storage containers, message boards and pedestrian barriers to secure sites and direct traffic. Trucks and trailers transport materials between locations. Floor care equipment maintains finished surfaces in commercial spaces, while ground protection mats prevent rutting and distribute equipment weight across soft soils.
Landscaping and Grounds Maintenance
Wood chipper, aerator and stump grinder rentals support grounds maintenance and site development. Compact equipment fits through gates and works in areas inaccessible to larger machines. Trenchers install irrigation lines and drainage systems. Post hole diggers efficiently prepare foundations for fencing and signage installations.
Cleaning and Environmental Control
Complete cleaning tasks with pressure washer rentals to remove dirt, grease and coatings from surfaces. You can also get industrial vacuums that capture concrete dust and hazardous materials during cutting and grinding. Pumps handle water removal and dewatering applications. Submersible pumps move clean water, while trash pumps handle solids-laden fluids during construction and emergency response situations.
Energy-Efficient Equipment
Take advantage of zero-emission equipment that reduces noise and eliminates exhaust in sensitive environments. We offer electric models across our aerial, earthmoving and power generation categories, so you can complete projects with strict environmental requirements. Battery-powered tools operate quietly in occupied buildings, hospitals and schools — diesel emissions and noise would disrupt operations in these locations.
