Published by ToolRentalsMN.com | Powered by Reddy Rents

If you're in construction, you already know the right tools make all the difference. But should you rent or buy?

Renting construction tools is a smart move for contractors across Minnesota. Whether you’re working in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or the greater Twin Cities area, having access to the right equipment without the hassle of ownership keeps your projects moving and your margins healthy.

Here are the top 7 construction tools every Minnesota contractor should consider renting in 2024:

1. Skid Steers

Skid steers are one of the most versatile tools on the job. Whether you’re grading a site, moving materials, or prepping a foundation, renting a skid steer lets you match the machine size to your job—without the overhead.

✅ Available in both wheeled and tracked models✅ Great for tight spaces and heavy lifting

2. Mini Excavators

Need power in compact areas? Mini excavators are ideal for trenching, digging footings, or doing utility work in tight residential or urban spaces. Rent by the day or week and scale up as needed.

✅ Perfect for landscaping and concrete work✅ 1T to 6T+ options available

3. Concrete Saws

From flatwork to vertical cutting, a professional-grade concrete saw is essential. Skip the maintenance and downtime—rent the blade size and power source (gas or electric) you need for each job.

✅ Ideal for slabs, walls, and curbs✅ Choose from handheld or walk-behind models

4. Demo Hammers

Tearing out tile, concrete, or brick? A 60# electric demo hammer gets it done fast without killing your crew. Renting means you always get a well-maintained tool with the right power.

✅ Plug-and-play for fast demolition✅ No maintenance, no downtime

5. Compaction Tools

Every pro knows that a solid base makes or breaks the job. Rent forward plates, reversible plates, or jumping jacks to compact soil, gravel, and base materials like a boss.

✅ Ideal for patios, sidewalks, and foundations✅ Electric and gas options available

6. Scissor Lifts & Mast Lifts

Ladders don’t cut it on commercial jobs. For drywall, electrical, HVAC, and signage installs—rental lifts improve safety and speed. Choose indoor or outdoor models to match your project.

✅ 19' to 32' height options✅ Electric and 4WD driveable lifts available

7. Dump Trailers & Tilt Trailers

Need to move debris, dirt, tools, or materials? Renting a trailer makes hauling simple. Tilt trailers are great for loading equipment, while dump trailers handle site clean-up like a champ.

✅ 2-yard to 5-yard dump sizes✅ Easy towing with standard pickups
