Rates and availability »Between commercial growth along the Highway 371 strip in Baxter, ongoing work around the hospital and college corridors in Brainerd, and a steady calendar of lake home builds and remodels from Gull Lake to the Whitefish Chain, contractors in this market juggle tight schedules and tighter site access. We stock the machines that keep those projects moving: telehandlers for truss and sheathing packages, electric scissor lifts for interior commercial work, articulating boom lifts up to 135 ft, and a serious earthmoving lineup, from compact track loaders and mini excavators to a 29,000 lb CAT 315, for everything from demo to final grade.
Two things set our Brainerd area fleet apart. First, earthmoving depth: CAT track loaders with the attachments that make them earn their keep (Harley rakes, augers, grapples, brooms), mini and mid-size excavators with thumbs, smooth drum rollers, and a wheel loader for material handling at scale. Second, temporary heat: Wacker Neuson hydronic ground heaters from 2,500 to 10,000 sq ft, indirect-fired air heaters, curing blankets, glycol, and hose. When a Brainerd winter tries to freeze your pour schedule, this is the equipment that keeps concrete curing and excavations open.
Whether you are an individual clearing land with a compact track loader for a weekend or a contractor lining up equipment for a season-long project, our rental terms flex to fit the job.
We offer flexible delivery and pickup options that make it easy to get exactly what you need, where you need it, with machines placed on site rather than dropped at the curb. Our Backus yard sits about 30 minutes up Highway 371. Weekly and 4-week rates are available on most units, and every machine is inspected and serviced before it leaves the yard.
When frost or a cold snap threatens the schedule in the Brainerd Lakes area, our temporary heat fleet keeps excavations open, pours curing, and enclosed buildings warm enough to work. Start with the guide that fits the job, or call and we will size it with you.
