Rent construction equipment from TRULAND at Wauseon, OH and Angola, IN. Earthmoving, material handling and site work machines by the day or week.
Access usually decides it before capacity does. Measure the narrowest gate, gap or turn the machine has to pass, and the space it has to work in. Then figure out how deep you need to dig and how far you need to reach from where the machine can sit, or the real weight and height of the heaviest load. Call us with those numbers and the ground conditions and we will match a machine that both fits and does the work.
The machines that move dirt, move material and prepare a site. Digging and backfilling for footings, utilities, septic, tile and drainage. Grading a driveway, a pad or a lot. Loading and hauling material around a site. Demolition and cleanup. Handling pallets, block, lumber and equipment where a forklift cannot reach.
For farms this is the pond, lane, tile and building work that comes up between seasons. For contractors it is filling a gap in the fleet, covering a machine that is down, or taking on a job that needs one size larger than what you own.
Start with access. The width of your gate, the turns in the lane, the ground you have to cross and the space to swing all put a hard ceiling on machine size before capacity ever enters the conversation. A machine that cannot get to the work is not the right machine.
Then look at depth, reach and capacity. For digging, you need to know how deep you actually have to go and how far you have to reach from where the machine can sit. For material handling, you need the real weight of the heaviest load and the height it has to go.
Ground conditions decide track versus wheels. Tracks spread weight and hold up on soft, wet or sloped ground. Wheels are faster on hard surfaces and gentler on finished pavement. On a lawn or a finished lot, ask about turf-friendly options before you tear something up you will have to fix.
Call 811 before any digging job, every time, and wait the required period for utilities to be marked. This is free, it is required, and hitting a gas, electric, water, fiber or sewer line is dangerous and expensive. Marks are approximate, so hand dig near them.
Also find out what is on your own property that a public locate will not cover. Private lines, septic laterals, tile, irrigation, invisible fence and old lines from previous owners are your responsibility to know about, and they show up regularly in the middle of a job.
Plan how the machine gets to the site. Weight, trailer rating, ramps and tie-down points all matter, and loading and unloading is where a large share of rental damage happens. Tell us the machine size and your trailer when you book if there is any doubt.
On site, keep people out of the swing radius and off the ground around a working machine. Never let anyone stand under a raised load or a raised attachment. Trench walls collapse without warning, and any excavation deep enough to get into requires proper protection, which is a separate and serious subject.
Watch overhead lines before raising anything, keep loads low while traveling, and work slopes deliberately. Fuel, grease and check fluids at the start of a day rather than in the middle of a push.
General contractors, excavators, builders, landscapers, farms doing their own tile and site work, municipalities and townships, property owners taking on a large project, and businesses handling a one-time job that does not justify a purchase.
Rentals are available at Wauseon, 419-335-7368, and Angola, 260-665-5820.

Yes, every time, on every job, including on your own property. It is free, it is required, and it gets public utility lines marked before you break ground. Wait the required period, and hand dig near the marks because they are approximate. Separately, know your own private lines, since locates do not cover septic laterals, tile, irrigation, invisible fence or old lines from previous owners. Those are the ones that surprise people.
Tracks spread weight and hold up better on soft, wet, muddy or sloped ground, which covers most farm and early-stage site work. Wheels move faster on hard surfaces and are easier on finished pavement. If you are working across a lawn or a finished lot, ask about turf-friendly options when you book, because repairing the ground afterward often costs more than the difference in the rental.
Either haul it yourself with a trailer rated for the machine's weight, with adequate ramps and tie-down points, or talk to us about the size you need and we will work through the options. Loading and unloading causes a large share of rental damage, so if your trailer is marginal, say so up front. Wauseon 419-335-7368, Angola 260-665-5820.
