Common questions
How do I know which size machine I need?
Every machine page lists the sizes we rent and what each one suits. If you're choosing between two, the compare tool puts them side by side and, for generators and compressors, tells you whether one will run the other.
The machine won't start — what should I check first?
Search the problem in Troubleshoot. Each fix lists the likely causes and the checks in the order to try them, starting with the things that are usually the cause: fuel, the run switch, the choke, and safety cut-outs.
What generator size will run my tools?
Open the generator page and pick a size under “What this will run”. It lists what that size handles, allowing for the surge when a motor starts, which is what usually catches people out.
Does the rental come with attachments?
Where a machine has attachments or a kit, they're listed on its page, and anything marked “comes with the rental” is included. Everything else is an add-on — ask at the counter.
Can I see whether something is available, or book it?
Not here — this site is the reference for what each machine does. For availability, rates and reservations, use the contact buttons on any machine page or call the branch.
