Equipment Rentals in Commerce, GA

Equipment Rentals in Commerce, GA

Commerce sits along the I-85 corridor in Jackson County, giving the area a different mix of projects than many smaller communities around Madison. Commercial and industrial development, residential construction, rural acreage, farms, and wooded properties can all be found within the greater Commerce area.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides equipment for contractors, property owners, landscapers, and homeowners working on projects in Commerce and surrounding Jackson County. Our equipment is based in Madison, Georgia, with jobsite delivery available to the Commerce area.

Equipment for Commerce Construction and Property Work

Equipment needs around Commerce can range from moving material on a construction site to cleaning up several acres of rural property.

Common projects include:

  • Construction site preparation
  • Rough grading
  • Excavation
  • Drainage work
  • Moving dirt and gravel
  • Commercial property improvements
  • Driveway construction and repair
  • Land and brush clearing
  • Fence installation
  • Property cleanup

Instead of owning equipment that may only be needed periodically, customers can rent the machine and attachments suited to a particular phase of the job.

Skid Steer Rental for Grading and Material Handling

Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer is particularly useful when a Commerce-area project involves repeatedly moving, spreading, loading, or grading material.

Typical jobs include:

  • Spreading gravel
  • Moving fill dirt
  • Rough grading
  • Loading trailers
  • Preparing landscape areas
  • Moving pallets and materials
  • Cleaning jobsites
  • Repairing gravel access areas

The machine becomes considerably more versatile when attachments are changed.

Our skid steer and attachment rentals include smooth and toothed buckets, a grapple bucket, pallet forks, an auger, and a 48-inch trencher.

That lets the same skid steer grade a site, handle brush, unload materials, drill post holes, or trench depending on what the job requires.

Excavator Rental for Commerce-Area Site Work

When digging depth, reach, or heavier material handling becomes the priority, our JCB 85Z-1 excavator provides a different set of capabilities.

The approximately 18,000-pound excavator has a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.

It can be useful for:

  • Excavating building and improvement areas
  • Digging drainage
  • Trenching
  • Clearing wooded property
  • Handling logs
  • Moving rocks
  • Loading bulky debris
  • General site preparation

The hydraulic thumb is particularly valuable during clearing and cleanup because logs, brush, rocks, and irregular debris can be grabbed and controlled.

See our excavator rentals and attachments for current information.

Equipment for Commerce's Commercial and Industrial Areas

Commerce's location near Interstate 85 has helped make commercial and industrial development a significant part of the surrounding area.

Projects involving commercial sites can require equipment for several phases of work, including:

  • Site preparation
  • Material movement
  • Grading
  • Drainage
  • Utility-related excavation
  • Landscaping
  • Construction cleanup

For projects within Commerce city limits, the City of Commerce Planning & Development Department provides information concerning zoning, building permits, inspections, development plans, and related requirements.

Checking local requirements before scheduling equipment is particularly important when a project involves new construction or substantial site changes.

Working on Rural Jackson County Property

A Commerce mailing address doesn't necessarily mean the property is an urban or commercial site.

Surrounding Jackson County includes farms, wooded acreage, larger residential properties, and rural land where equipment may be used for very different purposes.

Projects can include:

  • Maintaining long gravel driveways
  • Cleaning wooded acreage
  • Moving logs and brush
  • Installing fencing
  • Digging drainage
  • Moving soil
  • Preparing areas for buildings
  • Cleaning storm debris

For projects under county jurisdiction, Jackson County Planning & Development provides information about zoning, building permits, inspections, development, and land-use requirements.

Clearing a Wooded Property

Clearing and cleaning wooded acreage often involves material that is awkward to handle with a standard bucket.

Our 72-inch grapple bucket allows the skid steer to grab brush, limbs, and other bulky debris.

For heavier material, the JCB excavator's hydraulic thumb can handle larger logs, rocks, and debris.

On a larger cleanup project, the excavator can work on heavier material while the skid steer consolidates piles, moves debris, and loads a trailer.

That can be considerably more efficient than trying to accomplish the entire job with one machine.

Gravel Lots, Driveways and Access Areas

Commercial yards, rural driveways, and private access roads can all develop surface problems from traffic and runoff.

Equipment may be useful for:

  • Redistributing gravel
  • Filling low spots
  • Repairing ruts
  • Moving new aggregate
  • Reshaping access areas
  • Cleaning accumulated material
  • Correcting minor grades

Our skid steer can handle the bulk material and grading work.

When recurring washouts are caused by drainage, the project may also require excavation or trenching to address where the water is traveling.

Drainage and Erosion Projects

Jackson County's terrain and rainfall can create drainage problems on both developed and rural properties.

A project may involve:

  • Redirecting runoff
  • Excavating drainage areas
  • Correcting low spots
  • Repairing erosion
  • Preparing stormwater features
  • Regrading disturbed ground

Larger projects can trigger local erosion-control and land-disturbance requirements. Jackson County provides erosion and sediment control information for projects under county jurisdiction.

Determining those requirements before renting equipment helps prevent delays once the machine is onsite.

Auger Rental for Fences, Gates and Posts

Farms and acreage around Commerce can require considerably more fencing than a typical residential lot.

Our skid steer auger can be paired with:

  • 8-inch auger bit
  • 12-inch auger bit
  • 16-inch auger bit

Possible applications include:

  • Fence posts
  • Gate posts
  • Sign posts
  • Landscaping projects
  • Other repeated post-hole work

For a long fence line, mechanically drilling holes can eliminate a substantial amount of manual labor.

Underground utilities should always be properly located before drilling.

Trencher Rental for Narrow Utility Runs

When a project requires a relatively narrow trench rather than a broad excavation, our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option.

Depending on project requirements and ground conditions, potential uses include certain:

  • Water-line installations
  • Electrical runs
  • Drainage projects
  • Utility installations
  • Property improvements

Customers should determine local permit requirements and have underground utilities located before beginning excavation.

Dump Trailer Rental for Commerce Cleanup Jobs

Construction, clearing, landscaping, and grading can generate a surprising amount of material.

Our 7×16 dump trailer has 4-foot sides, a 14,000-lb GVWR, and hydraulic dumping.

It can be used for appropriate loads of:

  • Brush and property debris
  • Construction cleanup material
  • Dirt
  • Gravel
  • Landscaping materials
  • Storm debris

Pairing the dump trailer with a skid steer can make cleanup substantially easier because the skid steer handles the loading.

Browse our trailer rental collection for current information.

Choosing Equipment Based on the Work

For a project centered around grading, loading, spreading material, or attachment work, the skid steer is often the logical starting point.

When the project involves deeper excavation, greater reach, drainage digging, or handling larger logs and rocks, the excavator may be the better fit.

A project involving fencing may benefit from the auger, while a narrow utility installation may call for the trencher.

Larger clearing or construction projects may require more than one machine.

Our equipment-selection guide can help explain the differences.
