Types of Rental Equipment For Industrial Construction

Industrial construction projects demand reliable, heavy-duty machines. From preparing sites and moving material to handling concrete and transporting supplies, choosing the right industrial construction rental equipment helps you stay efficient and on schedule. This guide explains the main categories of industrial construction equipment you can rent from The Cat Rental Store.

1. Earthmoving Equipment

Site preparation starts with earthmovers. Excavating, grading, compacting, and moving soil or rock require machines built for power and reliability. Here are the most common earthmoving machines you’ll find on industrial jobsites:

Excavators

Tracked excavators provide stability on uneven ground. Available in full-size and mini models, they are versatile with multiple work tool attachment options.

Dozers

Bulldozers use weight and power to push and move large amounts of dirt, rock, or debris. Caterpillar offers small, medium, and large dozers with attachments for added versatility.

Loaders

Backhoe loaders combine the digging power of an excavator with material handling strength of a wheel loader. Compact track and multi-terrain loaders provide maneuverability in tight or uneven spaces.

Graders

Motor graders smooth and slope surfaces for paving and construction. Cat graders include advanced controls for precise performance. 

Scrapers

Scrapers dig and level large areas quickly, making them efficient for clearing vast sites. Elevating and open bowl models are available for different applications. 

Compactors

Compactors crush and condense soil or waste, stabilizing the ground for foundations or paving.

2. Transportation Equipment

Before construction begins, you need equipment and materials delivered to the site. Transportation equipment ensures that hauling, unloading, and logistics happen efficiently.

Dump Trucks

Essential for hauling earth and waste, dump trucks are used from site prep to final cleanup. 

Articulated Trucks

These trucks are designed for rugged terrain, hauling debris and earth across jobsites.

Off-Highway Trucks

Specialized haulers for mining, roadwork, and large infrastructure projects. They stay on-site and handle heavy payloads.  Articulated trucks are designed for rugged terrain, hauling debris and earth across jobsites.

Water Trucks

Water trucks are great for dust control. Capacity ranges from 2,000 gallons to 8,000 gallons.

Utility and Equipment Trailers

Trailers transport equipment and supplies between job sites, providing flexibility and convenience.  Utility & Dump Trailer Rentals | Rent Trailers | The Cat Rental Store

3. Material Handling Equipment

Every industrial project requires safe and efficient material movement. From lifting supplies to hoisting workers, material handling equipment is a jobsite essential.

Forklifts

Forklifts move materials across jobsites, with models designed for stability on both smooth and uneven ground.

Aerial Boom Lifts

Straight and articulating boom lifts help workers reach heights safely; some models reach up to 180 feet.

Telehandlers

Telehandlers can lift heavy loads to high places. Caterpillar’s latest models offer lift heights from 42 to 52 feet with loads weighing from 6,000 to 12,000 pounds. 

Material Handlers

These machines use attachments to grab, move, and pivot materials. They’re often used for site prep and cleanup. 

Crane Trucks

Crane trucks hoist heavy loads across jobsites. Their smaller footprint allows for maneuverability, but they require skilled operators for safe use.

4. Concrete Equipment

Concrete Buckets 

These buckets deliver concrete around jobsites and can be paired with chutes and attachments.

Concrete Buggies

Powered wheelbarrows for transporting concrete to areas trucks can’t reach. Concrete Mixers

Ensure cement, water, and aggregate are properly blended for strong results. 

Vibrators

Used after pouring, vibrators remove air bubbles for a smooth, durable finish.

From trowels and saws to drills and grinders, these tools ensure precision in finishing.
