Heavy Equipment Available for Riverhead Projects
These are the machines East End crews ask for most. Each one links to its own page with sizing and usage details, so you can check fit before you call.
Mini Skid Steer: Bobcat MT100
A compact stand-on loader for narrow gates, backyards and finished landscapes. It grades, hauls stone and moves soil where a standard skid steer won’t fit.
Mini Excavator: Bobcat E35
Compact digging power for trenches, drainage, footings and utility tie-ins. Rubber tracks are easier on lawns and finished surfaces.
Compact Track Loader
Tracks give better traction on soft or uneven ground. Check lift capacity against your material before you book.
Scissor Lift: Skyjack SJ3219
A narrow electric lift for indoor work like lighting, ceilings and signage. Doorway clearance is the first thing to confirm.
Boom Lift: JLG 450AJ
An articulating boom that reaches up and over obstacles. A solid pick for rooflines, exterior repairs and building facades.
Air Compressor: Atlas Copco 185 CFM
A towable compressor for breakers, jackhammers and pneumatic tools when job-site power is limited.
Concrete Buggy: Multiquip WBH
Moves concrete from the truck to the forms without the cost of a pump on smaller pours.
Plate Compactor: Wacker Neuson
Compacts base material for pavers, patios, driveways and trench backfill.
Match the Machine to Your Riverhead Job
Work around Riverhead varies a lot. You’ll see retail and service jobs along Route 58, warehouse space near Calverton, farm and vineyard projects on the North Fork and plenty of residential work in between. Here’s how we’d point each one.
Trenching and drainage
The E35 is the usual answer for drain lines, irrigation and utility trenches. It’s compact enough for most residential lots and strong enough for commercial excavation.
Landscaping and grading
For beds, walkways and material moves in tight spaces, a mini skid steer saves time and protects the property.
Site preparation and earthmoving
Clearing, leveling and prepping a pad or driveway base calls for the right mix of loader, excavator and compaction.
Concrete work
A buggy for the pour, a plate compactor for the base and a compressor for demolition. We can bundle them for one delivery.
One local note: much of the East End sits on sandy soil. It drains well, but trench walls can slump and loose backfill settles if it isn’t compacted in layers. Our guides on soft ground and rubber tracks and soil compaction are worth a read before you break ground.
Pro tip: Not sure whether you need a lift or an excavator? Describe the job and the access width. Most sizing questions get settled in one call. If you’re deciding between lifts, scissor lift vs boom lift is a quick read.
Delivery and Availability in Riverhead
We deliver machines to jobsites across Suffolk County and Riverhead is part of that run. Our office is in Melville, so we’d rather be straight with you: the East End is a longer trip than western Suffolk and timing depends on the machine and the day’s schedule.
That’s why we ask for the basics up front: the equipment you need, your site address, access width and start date. With that, we can confirm availability and give you a realistic delivery window instead of a guess.
- Booking a weekend or a busy start date? Request availability early.
- Delivery cost depends on the equipment, distance and schedule and it’s included in your quote.
- A clear, accessible drop-off spot keeps delivery fast. Our jobsite prep checklist covers what to clear.
- Planning ahead? See how far in advance to reserve.
- Need something urgent? Ask about emergency skid steer rental.
Full delivery details are on our jobsite delivery page.
Rental Rates and What Shapes Your Quote
We don’t post one flat price because the right number depends on your job. Here’s what moves it, so nothing in your quote is a surprise.
- The machine. A mini skid steer and a mini excavator are priced differently.
- The term. Daily, weekly and monthly rentals are quoted separately. Be honest about how long the job really runs.
- Attachments. Buckets, augers and other tools affect the total.
- Delivery. Distance and schedule are part of the picture.
