Rental Equipment for Educational Facilities

College and school properties require frequent attention to keep them in good condition and safe for students, faculty members and visitors. Many types of heavy equipment are needed to perform the various maintenance, repair and construction tasks these sprawling properties require. 

Whether you're a school maintenance professional or a construction contractor, Herc Rentals is your one-stop headquarters for high-quality rental equipment for educational facilities. Get the machines and tools you need to complete your most challenging projects and receive exceptional support throughout the process.

Education Facility Equipment Rentals for Multiple Tasks

Our equipment inventory covers all the product categories K-12 schools, college and university campuses and other educational properties need. 

Mobile Elevated Work Platforms

Multistory school buildings require machines to lift maintenance workers and their tools and supplies for painting, window cleaning and other exterior maintenance and repair projects. Herc Rentals carries a wide assortment of aerial lifts for rent, such as scissor lifts and single-person lifts, that enable workers to reach high areas safely. 

We also carry articulated and telescopic boom lifts, mini crawler cranes and other machines with enhanced reach and lift capabilities for construction teams working on new builds and facility additions. 

Power Continuity

Keeping the lights on and the equipment running is crucial in any school environment. Our equipment rentals include portable, skid-mounted and towable generators to provide a reliable backup power supply and keep the electricity flowing throughout the campus when outages occur. Generator rentals can also support temporary power for scheduled outdoor events like athletic contests and graduation ceremonies. 

Climate Control

Administrators can trust Herc Rentals to help maintain a comfortable classroom environment throughout the school year. Our rentals include various types of climate control and HVAC equipment for efficient temporary heating and cooling applications. Choose from mobile air conditioning and heating units in multiple sizes, configurations, and capacities to meet unique temperature requirements in different campus areas. 

You can also rent air chillers, air scrubbers and desiccant dehumidifiers to assist with moisture control and improved air quality.

Earthmoving

Are you a construction contractor involved with building a new school or expanding or renovating an existing facility? We have everything you need to handle digging, trenching, loading, unloading and transporting dirt and other materials quickly and efficiently. Our extensive earthmoving equipment lineup includes essential machines like excavators, backhoe loaders, bulldozers, compact track loaders and skid steers in multiple sizes.

We also carry compatible attachments for many of our earthmoving rentals to maximize the machine's versatility and reduce your operating costs.

Compaction and Paving

Campuses have expansive parking lots, sidewalks and pathways that require maintenance, repairs and occasional replacements. Herc Rentals offers various compacting and paving equipment options that are perfect for these temporary projects. Our inventory includes plate compactors, rammers, and ride-on and walk-behind rollers for all your paved surface repair and upkeep needs. 

Daily Operations and Surface Care

Keeping school building interiors clean is an ongoing challenge, especially on larger campuses. At Herc Rentals, you can rent floor scrubbers for schools and other valuable cleaning equipment like sweepers, floor sanders and buffers to reduce the burden on maintenance crews. 

For outdoor maintenance, we have numerous equipment options for landscaping and lawn care. We also have utility vehicles to transport workers and their supplies around large campus areas. 

Athletics, Events and Seasonality

Many types of equipment are necessary for schools to host athletic and seasonal events. In addition to portable generators for electrical power and lawn care machines for playing field maintenance, we can supply mobile lighting solutions for reliable illumination at nighttime events. We can also provide traffic and crowd control signage to keep vehicle and pedestrian traffic flowing smoothly before, during and after the event. 

Experience the Advantages of Renting Equipment

Renting heavy equipment offers many benefits for K-12 schools, colleges and universities:

  • Seasonal compatibility: Due to the seasonal operations of most schools, many institutions don't need heavy equipment year-round. Renting provides a convenient, temporary acquisition solution that eliminates long-term storage needs and expenses. 
  • Budget-friendly: Most schools must operate under tight budget constraints. Using rentals is often more cost-effective than purchasing equipment because it doesn't require a substantial down payment or extended financing commitment. 
  • Project-specific: With all the different construction, maintenance and repair projects on campuses, renting offers the flexibility to select the most appropriate machine or tool for each job.
  • Reduced operating costs: When you rent from a reputable partner like Herc Rentals, you won't have to pay for maintenance or repairs during the rental period, helping to save money.
  • Increased efficiency and productivity: Many newer rentals include numerous advanced features and technologies that allow operators to work faster, smarter and safer, leading to improved project results.
