Terms and Conditions
Pickup & Drop-off
Load Safety
Cancellation Policy
Renters are responsible for returning equipment on time to our Northern Utah or Salt Lake location. Late returns impact the next customer and will result in additional hourly or daily charges as listed in your agreement.
Safety is non-negotiable. Renters must ensure loads are properly secured, weight is balanced, and the tow vehicle's rating is never exceeded. We provide guidance, but final setup is the renter's responsibility.
Cancellation & Rescheduling. Cancellations made more than 48 hours before the scheduled rental date may qualify for a one time reschedule based on availability. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the rental date may forfeit the reservation deposit.
Prohibited Uses
Breakdowns & Emergencies
Negligence & Tickets
Trailers and excavators must stay on maintained roads. Off-roading, reckless operation, or illegal hauling is strictly prohibited. Misuse will result in immediate termination of the rental and loss of deposit.
In the unlikely event of a mechanical failure, stop the vehicle immediately and call us. Do not attempt major repairs. We will work to resolve the issue or provide a swap if equipment is available.
The renter is personally responsible for all parking tickets, tolls, and traffic violations incurred during the rental. Negligence-related damage to tires, jacks, or lights is the renter's financial responsibility.
