Here are a few things to consider when renting a Backhoe or Loader.
- Talk to the AAA Rental Staff to go over the proper operation and safety proceedures
- Decide how deep you need to dig. A full-sized backhoe reaches down 14 to 16 feet.
- Use a compact backhoe to dig eight to 10 feet deep. It is less expensive, more maneuverable, and easier to transport than a full-sized backhoe.
- Check that the loader has adequate lift height to load your dump truck.
- Choose attachments to increase the machines' flexibility. Substituting forks for a bucket lets you transport pallets.
- Choose a backhoe with a quick coupler, or integrated tool carrier to use multiple attachments.
- Look for stabilizer legs that have either grouser shoes for a firm grip on dirt or rubber-padded shoes for use on asphalt.
- Choose four-wheel drive backhoes for better traction on mud or loose ground.
- Select four-wheel steering for improved maneuverability on crowded job sites.
