Second Machine Rental

with just one operator

Bobcat Service

Machine-with-Operator Service

Ocassionally a customer will have a need to have 2 of our machines on site simultaneously, but will require only 1 of our operators to run them both, alternately.

When does this need need occur?

Generally this is a needed when you require both a mini-excavator for trenching or excavating and also a bobcat for moving the dirt away.  For example, additions in the back of a house or pools both require deep and extensive holes dug (requiring use of the mini-excavator) and the bobcat to move the excavated dirt to the front to be hauled away.

Rates and Pricing

Rates specifically for this situation: jobsites requiring 2 machines, but only one operator of ours' to run them both.

1) For the first machine (generally the excavator), nothing changes - all is the same as would be a normal service for machine and operator.  (Float fee, hourly rate, with a minimum number daily hours, and plus any rental attachments)  At time of writing, a mini-excavator and operator were running in the $75-95 per hour range.  Get specific pricing here.

2) In this case, the rental would be not an attachment, but rather a whole machine - typically the bobcat loader.  There would be no hourly rate if you have only 1 operator (him being charged with the first machine), and there may or may not be a second float fee charged - dependent on whether or not both machines were (or could be even) floated together or had to be brought in separately (size and weight often being the issues, and sometimes timing - the second machine not being needed immediately, but day(s) later into the project.  See the "What's a Double-Float" section for more details).

Second machine rental pricing: (based on these specific terms and conditions)

3 and 4* foot bobcat class machines, $150 per day

5-foot* bobcat class machines, $175 per day
