WHAT'S A BACKHOE?
A backhoe is a digging machine. It consists of an articulating arm that is composed of a boom, a stick, and a bucket. This is usually attached to a tractor where the driver sits. On the other side of a backhoe is a small front end loader that has a bucket as well but can use other Cat attachments when needed. The first backhoe was a simple bucket mounted to a regular tractor, but the concept and design is much the same today.
USES OF A BACKHOE
It's safe to say that almost every industry uses a backhoe. Construction, demolition, bridge building, excavation, landscaping, road building, paving, forestry, coal mining, and many more make great use of this powerful machine. Some of the more common uses of a backhoe include:
- Trench digging. Used backhoes help with trench digging, which is useful for utility companies who are laying underground wiring and internet lines, as well as digging up a trench to make feeding of cows easier.
- Construction. Almost every function on a construction job site can benefit from a used backhoe. From carrying materials to place to place and hauling away demoed concrete, backhoes come in super handy on construction sites.
- Snow removal. When it snows more than a couple inches, used heavy machinery is the best way to clear areas fast. This is because they can easily move heavy weight.
- Cleanup. Let's face it, any type of work requires cleanup services, from demolition and construction to road building, mining, and more. Used backhoes are the perfect fit for cleanup due to their pushing and digging capabilities.
Caterpillar manufactures backhoes in many different sizes to suit your particular needs. Call one of our Cat dealers in Colorado, New Mexico, and west Texas to ask about backhoe rental today.
BENEFITS OF RENTING A BACKHOE
Minimizes Costs
Used heavy equipment can be expensive both to purchase and to maintain. When you invest in a backhoe rental, you save the upfront cost of purchasing a backhoe, and you save the cost of having to maintain this piece of machinery as the rental company often covers this cost.
Meets Job Demands
Let's face it, heavy equipment can do a lot of sitting around if it is unneeded for job purposes. When you invest in backhoe rental when you need one, you are only paying for when you use the machine. This can save you money in the long run, too.
Props Up the Season
Many industries have peak seasons where they are working overtime in order to meet demand. This holds true for many outdoor industries, such as construction, landscaping, and road building. Backhoe rental can help ensure you are able to meet this uptick in project demand swimmingly.
Offers Tax Deductions
Since backhoe rental is an operating expense, it is tax deductible for most businesses in the United states. This also saves you from having to deal with depreciation of your equipment with your accountant over time.
Offers Peace of Mind
In a small business, every penny counts. Renting heavy equipment is more affordable than purchasing heavy equipment. Plus, heavy equipment rental, such as a backhoe rental, offers limited liability in terms of maintenance, service, and complete and total breakdown failure. In addition, many backhoe rental companies will deliver the backhoe to your job site and pick it up, without having to worry about storage issues, too.
Affords Latest Technology
One of the best benefits of backhoe rental is the fact that our used equipment comes with the latest in technology. From machine control and site control systems to all of the safety features you could imagine, including backup cameras, backhoe rental can help you improve your productivity immensely.
Can Try Before You Buy
