Concrete Equipment Rental
Concrete equipment rental covers the machines to mix, place, finish, cut and remove concrete and masonry. Match the tool to your job's volume and slab thickness, plan for dust and wash water and compare suppliers for your dates.
What this equipment is used for
Contractors and DIYers rent this equipment to pour small slabs, set posts, finish floors, cut control joints, core holes for pipe, grind floors and break out old concrete. Paving crews also rent pavers and millers. If you already know your machine, see the concrete mixer, concrete saw, concrete grinder or jackhammer guide.
Equipment types
| Equipment | Used for |
|---|---|
| Concrete mixer | Small batches for slabs, footings and posts |
| Concrete buggy | Moving wet concrete across a site |
| Screed and vibrator | Leveling and consolidating a pour |
| Power trowel | Finishing large flat slabs |
| Concrete or masonry saw | Control joints, cutouts and block |
| Core drill | Clean round holes for pipe and conduit |
| Floor grinder | Leveling and polishing, or removing coatings |
| Jackhammer or demo saw | Breaking and removing concrete |
How to choose the right equipment
- Work out the volume. Small pours can use a mixer, while large ones usually call for ready-mix and a buggy.
- Know slab thickness. It sets your saw blade and core bit depth.
- Plan for finish. A power trowel needs the slab at the right stage, so have a backup plan for heat and timing.
- Choose wet or dry cutting. Wet cutting controls dust, but you need to manage slurry.
- Ask what's included. Blades, bits and pads are often extra or billed by wear.
How to plan a concrete job
- Check for buried utilities and embedded lines before you cut or core.
- Prepare forms, base and reinforcement.
- Line up materials, helpers and equipment for pour day.
- Place, consolidate and screed, then allow time before finishing.
- Cut control joints at the right time, and keep the slab curing.
- Clean machines right away, and keep wash water contained.
Mistakes to avoid
- Waiting too long to clean. Hardened concrete can ruin equipment and add fees.
- Pouring without enough help. Concrete won't wait.
- Cutting without locating rebar and conduit. Scan or check plans first.
- Skipping dust control. Silica dust is a serious health hazard.
- Adding too much water. It weakens the mix.
Tips before you rent
- Ask how blade or bit wear is billed.
- Confirm power needs for electric machines.
- Pick up the equipment the day before a big pour.
