Choose the Right Mini Excavator for Your Job

Compact Mini Excavators
Built for tight access — narrow gates, backyards, indoor demo, and residential utility work. Lightweight enough to transport on a standard trailer (we rent trailers too, if you need one). CX26C and 17P units available.

Mid-Size Mini Excavators
The everyday workhorse. Strong enough for utility trenches, foundation work, septic and irrigation jobs, and small-scale site prep — without the bulk of a full-size excavator. 35P, 35P with cab, and 50z units available.

Mini Excavator Rental FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a mini excavator in Nampa or Boise?
Rates depend on the size of the machine and your rental duration. Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates are available across the fleet, and you can see live pricing for any unit by selecting your dates in our online rental portal. For job-specific quotes or to confirm availability, call us at (208) 495-5858.
What size mini excavator do I need?
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.
How deep can a mini excavator dig?
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.
Do you deliver mini excavators to my location?
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.
What attachments are available for your mini excavators?
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.
What do I need to rent a mini excavator?
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.
Can I tow a mini excavator with a regular pickup?
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.
Can homeowners rent mini excavators, or only contractors?
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.
