BCI Rentals brings well-maintained construction and industrial equipment to Grand Rapids, Cohasset, Deer River, and the wider Itasca County area. From our Backus location we run deliveries east on a regular basis, putting telehandlers, aerial lifts, and temporary heat on Grand Rapids job sites the same week you call, often the same day.

Built for Industrial and Plant Work

Grand Rapids runs on heavy industry, and maintenance windows do not wait. For plant shutdowns, paper and wood-products facility maintenance, and utility work, we stock the equipment those crews actually request: electric scissor lifts that fit production floors, articulating boom lifts up to 135 ft for structural and overhead access, indirect-fired heaters that deliver clean vented heat into enclosed spaces, and heat exchangers for temporary process and space heating.

Equipment Itasca County Crews Rent Most

  • Aerial access: 19 to 32 ft scissor lifts (electric and rough terrain), 45 to 135 ft articulating boom lifts.
  • Material handling: CAT telehandlers from 6,000 to 12,000 lb with forks, buckets, and jib boom attachments.
  • Industrial heat: 200K to 600K BTU indirect air heaters (diesel and LP/NG), make-up air units to 1.5M BTU, and HX200 heat exchangers.
  • Dirt and site work: compact track loaders, mini and mid-size excavators, smooth drum compactors, wheel loaders.
  • Power and air: towable diesel generators, WhisperWatt units to 75 kVA, 185 CFM air compressors with breakers.

Winter Work Does Not Stop Here

Northern Itasca County winters are long, and we treat cold-weather capability as core inventory rather than a seasonal afterthought. Wacker Neuson hydronic ground heaters thaw frost and cure concrete on schedule, glycol and PEX supplies are stocked alongside the machines, and reflective curing blankets protect flatwork when temperatures drop. If your Grand Rapids project has a winter pour or a frozen excavation in front of it, this is the fleet built for it.
