Mini Excavator Rentals and Environmental Considerations

Posted on Wednesday, February 28, 2024

If you’re nervous about the environmental impact of heavy equipment like compact excavators, you can rest assured you’re in good hands at The Equipment Source.

Does Mini Excavator Meet Any Emission Standards or Environmental Regulations? 

Yes, all of our mini excavators meet environmental regulations.

Are There Any Restrictions on Where I Can Use the Equipment?

You cannot use your mini-excavator around salt water. Compact excavators don’t have the reach required to safely operate in salt water, and damage to the engine or corrosion is likely to occur.

Are Renting Mini Excavators More Environmentally Friendly Than Buying One?

Renting a mini excavator is more environmentally friendly than purchasing one. For starters, Equipment Source takes great care of our excavators, which ensures that each piece of equipment has the longest possible lifespan.

Also, when many people share the same piece of equipment by renting it, it requires fewer resources to produce more of them.

In short, renting an excavator ensures that valuable resources and storage space are optimized. And because fewer excavators are being produced, it will also reduce the amount of equipment that is discarded once it reaches the end of its usefulness.
