A forklift rental lets you lift and move pallets and heavy materials in a warehouse, yard or jobsite.

Tiller Rental in Santa Barbara, CA

Dump Trailer, Truck & Utility Vehicle Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
A dump trailer rental lets you haul and unload debris, mulch, gravel and junk behind your own truck, with no loading dock needed. Check your tow vehicle's rating, hitch and brake controller first, then compare suppliers. For bigger sites, dump trucks, tracked dumpers, water trucks and UTVs handle the material your pickup cannot.
California limits vehicles towing a trailer to 55 mph, so check your tow rating and plan your route and load cover before you book.
Skid Steer Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
A skid steer rental gets you a compact, highly maneuverable loader that can dig, grade, lift and carry, and switch jobs in minutes by swapping attachments. Choose the frame size and attachments for your job, then compare suppliers on rates, delivery and terms.
California requires 811 notice before digging, and off-road diesels of 25 hp and up must be reported to CARB, so ask the supplier for the equipment ID.
Lawn Aerator Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
If you rent an aerator, you get a machine that pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn so air, water and fertilizer can reach the roots. Choose a core aerator sized for your yard, time it to your grass type, and compare a few suppliers.
Aerate warm-season grass like Bermuda in late spring and summer, and cool-season fescue in fall, watering a day or two ahead in clay soil.
Boom Lift Rental in Santa Barbara, CA

Concrete Mixer Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
A concrete mixer rental gives you a rotating drum that blends cement, sand, gravel and water into consistent concrete right where you are pouring. Size the mixer to your batch and project, plan your water and power, and compare a few suppliers.
Don't rinse a mixer where the water can reach a California storm drain; plan a contained washout spot before pour day.
Jackhammer Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
A jackhammer rental breaks up concrete slabs, sidewalks, footings, asphalt and rock that would be impossible to remove by hand. Most jobs use an electric demolition hammer or breaker; heavier work calls for a pneumatic breaker or a skid steer hydraulic hammer.
Breaking concrete makes silica dust covered by Cal/OSHA's Section 1532.3, and many California cities limit noisy work hours, so plan both.
Mini Excavator Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
A mini excavator rental puts a compact tracked digger on your site for trenches, footings, ponds and demolition where a full-size machine will not fit. Pick the size class by dig depth, access width and transport, then compare a few suppliers.
California requires 811 notice two working days before digging, and a trench workers enter at 5 feet or deeper generally needs a Cal/OSHA permit.
Trencher, Trench Box & Shoring Rental in Santa Barbara, CA
A trencher rental cuts narrow, clean trenches for irrigation, drainage and buried lines much faster than digging by hand. Choose a walk-behind or ride-on machine based on trench depth, width and soil, have utilities marked and compare suppliers for your dates.
