Avoid equipment downtime and contractor schedule delays with Dig-It Rentals’ high-performance, job-ready machines. Discover how our rental uptime guarantee keeps your projects moving.

Downtime Is Costly—We Help You Avoid It

In the construction and landscaping industries, time is money. Every hour of equipment downtime eats into your schedule, profits, and reputation. That’s why at Dig-It Rentals, we’ve built our entire process around minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity for contractors and landscapers across New Jersey.

Whether you're trenching utilities, grading sites, or completing full landscape redesigns, you need tools you can trust. Our fleet of excavators, skid steers, wheel loaders, and more is meticulously maintained and backed by a rental uptime guarantee you can rely on.

Why Equipment Downtime Hurts Your Business

Even a single breakdown can cause significant disruptions:

  • Delays subcontractors and follow-up trades
  • Causes missed deadlines and dissatisfied clients
  • Increases labor costs with idle crews
  • Results in lost revenue from rescheduled jobs

Whether you're managing a tight commercial timeline or multiple residential projects, equipment reliability is critical to staying on schedule.

How Dig-It Rentals Helps You Stay on Schedule

We know contractors can’t afford surprises. That’s why we focus on reliability, readiness, and rapid support.

1. Job-Ready Equipment Every Time

All of our machines are thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and serviced between rentals. When your equipment arrives, it’s ready to work.

Popular uptime-ready machines include:

2. Uptime Guarantee

If your rental equipment fails due to a mechanical issue, we’ll replace it quickly—often same-day or next-day—so your crew can stay productive with minimal interruption.

3. Expert Help On Call

If something isn’t working right or you need help troubleshooting, our team is ready to assist. We’re committed to supporting you both before and during your rental.

Why Renting Helps Prevent Downtime

Renting with Dig-It gives you more flexibility and fewer maintenance responsibilities than owning equipment outright.

Benefits of renting include:

  • No maintenance or repair costs
  • Access to the latest, fully-serviced machines
  • Flexible rental periods for any size job
  • Rapid replacement in case of equipment failure

With rentals, you stay focused on the job. We handle the rest.

Real-World Example: Staying on Track Despite Issues

A landscaping contractor in Warren County recently rented a CASE SV280B Skid Steer for a hardscaping project. On the second day, the unit wouldn’t start. Dig-It Rentals delivered a replacement within three hours, allowing the team to continue work the same day and complete the project on time.
