Specialized Equipment for Utility Industry Applications

 

Utility equipment can be used for a variety of applications, including both planned events and natural or manmade disasters.

 

You might need to rent utility equipment if you are:

• Readying your team to respond to emergency power outages
• Upgrading or modifying residential builds, including the home or apartment complex’s electrical networks
• Working on your own infrastructure, including expansion projects and maintenance tasks
• Installing new utility lines and need additional machinery to complete the project on time
• Addressing water and sewer line repairs or installation and need additional equipment
• Installing or maintaining gas lines and require additional equipment
• Expanding your existing telecommunications infrastructure or making upgrades to fiber optic lines
• Conducting routine maintenance or making repairs to an industrial facility, such as a factory or plant
• Participating in disaster response and cleanup efforts, such as working in a flood zone or in an area affected by a tornado

 

Types of Utility Industry Equipment

 

As you begin to explore the Herc Rentals catalog, pay special attention to the various types of utility equipment that we’ve handpicked to help you leap over operational hurdles and do business more efficiently and effectively.

• Trucks and trailers: Rent utility service trucks built to haul heavy loads and handle auxiliary equipment. Options with full-sized back seats maximize available passenger space, ensuring your crew can travel together from site to site. Other utility vehicles, like 2-passenger burden carrier carts, are more focused on reliable performance when navigating rough terrain, so you can go off-road and get to your site safely.
• Material handling equipment: Some jobs require your team to move dirt, stones, trees or building debris out of the way before the real work can begin. Material handling equipment, such as skid steers, wheel loaders and pallet jacks, make quick work of obstructions standing between you and a job well done.
• Emergency power generation: When you need power and there’s none to be found, a portable or skid-mounted generator can save the day. From tower generators that are hefty but offer oomph when you’re trying to illuminate a large space or serve a crowd to load banks that simulate real-life electrical loads, we have rentals to help you get up and running and plan for all eventualities.
• Heating and cooling solutions: People need to be comfortable while they work, live and play in challenging circumstances. But equipment is sensitive to major temperature fluctuations, too. That’s where climate control equipment rentals step in to cool enclosed areas or provide much-needed heat in chillier environments. Desiccant humidifiers, flameless heaters, mist fans, blowers and air scrubbers also fall into this category, addressing every aspect of climate comfort and air quality in one fell swoop.
• Aerial work platforms: When height is of the essence, aerial work platforms get your team in the air so they can install equipment, conduct maintenance or get a bird’s-eye view of the situation below. Choose from drivable battery-powered mast lifts that support up to 500 lbs. and straight booms that include AC receptacles to hook up power tools.
• Compressed air and tools: Skip electrical power in zones without access or where electricity would be dangerous, and use compressed-air tools instead. Air impact wrenches, air-powered fans, air saws, breakers, diggers, rivet busters, tampers and tow-behind compressors are just some of the available rentals.
• Lawn and landscaping: Clear the way for maintenance tasks and remove obstacles that could damage fiber optics or other utility pipes and cables with lawn and landscaping equipment rentals from Herc. Wood chippers, electric chain saws, sod cutters, rear-tine tillers, lawn mowers and dethatchers come in various makes and models to address projects large and small.
