Mini Excavator Rental in Nampa & Boise, ID

For most residential utility, landscaping, and small site work, a compact 1–2 ton mini excavator is the right pick — it fits through standard gates and trailers easily. Step up to a 3–5 ton mid-size machine for deeper trenches, foundation work, or anything where reach and bucket capacity matter. If you're unsure, call us — we'll match the machine to the depth, reach, and access of your job.

Dig depth depends on the model. Compact 1–2 ton units typically reach 6 to 8 feet, and mid-size 3–5 ton units reach 10 to 12 feet. Most residential utility, irrigation, and septic work falls inside that range. Check the spec sheet on any unit in the portal, or call us with your required depth and we'll point you to the right machine.

Yes. We deliver across the Treasure Valley, including Nampa, Boise, Caldwell, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Middleton, and Kuna. Delivery fees depend on distance from our Nampa yard. You can also pick up at 220 11th Ave N in Nampa during business hours.

Every mini excavator in our fleet comes with a tooth bucket and a thumb — the thumb is a clamp-style attachment that works with the bucket to grab and hold material like rocks, stumps, brush, and debris. We offer a few bucket sizes depending on the unit: a 12-inch tooth bucket (fits our 26, 30, and 35P units), an 18-inch tooth bucket (35P), a 24-inch tooth bucket (35P), and 12-inch and 18-inch tooth buckets for the 17P. Hydraulic breaker attachments are available on select units for concrete and rock work. Trailer rentals are also available as an add-on if you need to haul the machine yourself — call (208) 495-5858 to confirm which bucket, breaker, and trailer fit your job.

A valid driver's license, a credit card for the deposit, and proof of insurance for higher-value machines. We'll walk you through the rental agreement and equipment safety briefing at pickup or delivery. First-time renters are welcome — we'll cover controls and safe operation before you leave the yard.

Most compact 1–2 ton mini excavators can be safely towed with a half-ton or three-quarter-ton pickup on a standard trailer. Mid-size units typically require a heavier-duty truck and trailer combination. We can confirm weight ratings and trailer requirements at booking, and delivery is always available if you'd rather we bring it to you.

Both. We rent to licensed contractors and homeowners alike. Mini excavators are popular with homeowners tackling drainage, irrigation, landscape projects, and stump removal. If you're a homeowner taking on a project for the first time, we're happy to help you pick the right size machine and walk through the basics.
