BCI Rentals delivers professional-grade construction equipment to job sites throughout the Brainerd Lakes area, including Brainerd, Baxter, Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, and Crosslake. Our fleet is based in Backus, about 30 minutes up Highway 371, which means same-day or next-morning delivery to most Crow Wing County job sites without big-city logistics or big-city minimums.
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.

How does delivery to Brainerd or Baxter work?
We offer flexible delivery and pickup options designed to get the right equipment exactly where you need it. Tell us where the job is when you reserve and we'll arrange the rest.
Can you deliver to islands or tight lakeshore lots?
Yes. Lakeshore access is a daily reality here. Tell us about your access constraints when you book and we'll match the machine and trailer to the site.
What if I need several machines at different phases of the project?
That's normal for builds in this market. Reserve what you know now and our team will help you stage the rest as the schedule firms up.
