A Long Island Rental Company That Actually Knows the Area
Hempstead sits in a busy corner of Nassau County. Between Hofstra University traffic, the LIRR station and dense residential blocks off Fulton Avenue, getting a mini excavator or a boom lift onto a job site here takes more than just showing up with a flatbed. Our dispatch team plans routes around Hempstead Turnpike congestion and knows which streets can’t handle a full-size delivery truck. That local knowledge is why contractors keep calling us back instead of rolling the dice with a national chain’s call center.
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We stock the equipment that actually gets used on Long Island jobsites: excavators, compact track loaders, aerial lifts, concrete equipment and compaction equipment. Everything in the fleet is inspected between rentals, so you’re not troubleshooting a hydraulic leak on day one of a two-week job.
Equipment Contractors Rent Most in Hempstead
A lot of Hempstead work is tight-lot residential and small commercial: additions, driveway tear-outs, drainage fixes, the occasional interior renovation that needs an aerial lift for exterior work. Here’s what tends to move fastest for this area.
Mini Excavators
Most Hempstead lots don’t leave room for a full-size excavator, so the Bobcat E35 is usually the right call. It’s compact enough to work a narrow side yard but still has the digging depth for footings, drainage lines and small foundation work. Tail-swing clearance matters more here than almost anywhere else on Long Island and this machine handles it well.
Compact Track Loaders
For grading, material handling or clearing a lot before a build, the Bobcat MT100 gets used constantly on smaller Nassau County jobs. It’s narrow enough to fit through a standard gate, which matters when half your job is figuring out how to get equipment into a backyard without tearing up the neighbor’s fence.
Aerial Lifts
Roofing, siding, tree work or signage jobs around Hempstead’s commercial strips usually call for an aerial lift rather than scaffolding, especially on a tight timeline. The JLG 450AJ articulating boom lift reaches over obstacles like awnings and utility lines and the Skyjack SJ3219 scissor lift is the better pick for indoor work or flat, paved lots where you just need straight vertical height.
Concrete and Compaction Equipment
Sidewalk replacement, patio pours and small slab work are a constant in this area. The Multiquip WBH concrete buggy saves a crew from wheelbarrowing mix across a yard and a plate compactor from our compaction equipment lineup handles base prep before the pour. For jobsite air needs like breaking up old concrete or running pneumatic tools, the Atlas Copco 185 CFM compressor is the one contractors ask for by name.
Delivery to Hempstead and the Surrounding Area
We deliver directly to Hempstead jobsites, along with West Hempstead, Uniondale, Garden City, Elmont and Franklin Square. If your project sits somewhere else in Nassau County, our Nassau County rental page covers the wider footprint and our Long Island hub has the full regional picture including Suffolk County. Exact delivery windows and any distance-based fees depend on your specific address and the machine’s transport requirements, so confirm those details when you call rather than assuming a flat rate.
Same-day delivery is available in most cases if you call before early afternoon and the equipment you need is on hand. For anything scheduled a few days out, which is honestly the safer bet if your project has a hard start date, we’ll lock in the machine and delivery window ahead of time.
What Equipment Rental Actually Costs in Hempstead
Nobody likes vague pricing, so here’s the honest version: cost depends on the machine, how long you need it and whether delivery is involved. As a general reference, our featured units run from around $128 a day for a concrete buggy up to $675 a day for the boom lift, with most excavators and loaders landing in between. Weekly and monthly terms bring the daily rate down noticeably, which matters if you’re not sure whether a job will wrap in three days or three weeks.
We’ll give you a straight number before you commit to anything. There’s no reason to guess when a five-minute call gets you an actual quote for your equipment, your dates and your address

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver equipment to Hempstead, NY?
Yes. Hempstead is a regular delivery area for us, along with West Hempstead, Uniondale, Garden City and the surrounding parts of Nassau County.
Can you get equipment to a job site the same day?
Often, yes, if you call early in the day and the machine you need is available. For anything with a firm start date, booking a few days ahead is the safer route.
What size excavator works best for a tight residential lot?
A mini excavator like the Bobcat E35 is usually the right fit. It has enough digging depth for most residential footing and drainage work while still maneuvering through narrow side yards.
Do I need a license to rent an excavator or skid steer?
No special license is required for most rentals, though we do ask for insurance documentation and, on certain equipment, proof of operator familiarity. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed for your specific machine.
How far in advance should I book equipment?
A few days ahead is ideal, especially for boom lifts and popular excavator models that tend to book up during busy construction seasons. Same-day requests are handled when possible but aren’t guaranteed.
Can I rent equipment for just one day?
Yes, daily rentals are available on every piece of equipment in our fleet, alongside weekly and monthly terms for longer projects.
What happens if the equipment breaks down during my rental?
Contact us right away and we’ll arrange a swap or repair as quickly as possible. Every machine is inspected between rentals, but if something does go wrong, downtime on your end is our priority to fix.
Do you serve areas outside of Hempstead itself?
Yes. We cover all of Nassau County and the broader Long Island and NYC metro area. See our Nassau County page for the full coverage picture.
