Equipment Rentals in Crawford, GA

Crawford and the surrounding Oglethorpe County countryside are well suited to the kind of projects where having your own heavy equipment isn't practical, but trying to complete the work with hand tools or a small tractor isn't practical either. Farms, pasture, timberland, wooded homesites, gravel drives, barns, and larger rural properties create plenty of work that benefits from a skid steer or excavator.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Crawford and surrounding Oglethorpe County for land and property maintenance, excavation, drainage, fencing, driveway work, construction, and cleanup projects.

Put Neglected Acreage Back to Work

On a larger property, areas can gradually become unusable.

Brush takes over an old access lane. Fallen trees block the edge of a field. Fence lines disappear into vegetation. Storm debris accumulates in areas that aren't regularly maintained.

The goal isn't necessarily to clear the entire property. Often it's simply to recover the ground you actually want to use.

Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer with a 72-inch grapple bucket can grab and move brush, limbs, and irregular debris.

For larger logs, rocks, and heavier material, our excavator provides considerably more capability.

Handle Logs With the Hydraulic Thumb

Our JCB 85Z-1 excavator weighs approximately 18,000 pounds and is equipped with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.

That thumb is particularly useful on wooded and rural properties because the excavator can grab material rather than trying to balance everything against the bucket.

Potential uses include:

Handling logs
Moving rocks
Storm cleanup
General excavation
Ditch work
Drainage projects
Site preparation
Loading bulky debris

For projects involving both digging and cleanup, the same excavator can perform both types of work without changing to a completely different machine.

Maintain Farm Roads and Gravel Access

A rural access road may carry pickups, tractors, trailers, delivery trucks, and other heavy traffic.

Eventually, rainfall and traffic can produce ruts, potholes, displaced aggregate, and washed areas.

Our 72-inch smooth bucket can be used to move gravel, fill damaged areas, recover displaced material, and work the road surface.

For harder ground or areas that need more aggressive engagement, the 72-inch toothed bucket provides another option.

If the same section repeatedly washes away, however, the road may be showing you where the drainage problem is.

Give the Water Somewhere to Go

A ditch that has filled with sediment or a culvert approach that no longer drains properly can send water across a driveway, field entrance, or work area.

The excavator can handle heavier ditch and drainage excavation.

For appropriate projects requiring a narrower trench, our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option.

Once the drainage work is finished, the skid steer can move fill or aggregate and repair the surrounding surface.

Addressing the water first can keep you from repeatedly repairing the damage it causes.

Fence Work Across Fields and Pasture

Long fence lines can turn post-hole digging into one of the biggest parts of the project.

Our skid steer auger is available with three bit sizes:

That provides options for ordinary fence posts, larger corner and gate posts, signs, and other repeated post-hole work.

Once drilling is complete, the skid steer can switch attachments and continue working elsewhere on the property.

Always have underground utilities properly located before augering, trenching, or excavation begins.

Work Around Barns and Outbuildings

The ground around barns, shops, storage buildings, and equipment sheds often becomes a work area of its own.

Gravel needs to be spread. Ruts need to be repaired. Materials need to be moved. Drainage may need attention.

Our 48-inch pallet forks allow the skid steer to handle suitable palletized or properly secured materials.

Switch to a bucket for dirt and gravel, or install the grapple when brush and debris need to be cleaned up.

See our skid steer and attachment rentals for the available options.

Preparing a Rural Building Site

A new barn, workshop, garage, equipment shelter, or home on acreage can require substantial preparation before construction begins.

Depending on the property, that may include:

Opening access
Selective clearing
Excavation
Rough grading
Drainage work
Moving fill and aggregate
Material handling
Site cleanup

The excavator can perform the heavier digging while the skid steer handles material movement and grading around the site.

Oglethorpe County Permits and Land Development

Crawford is in Oglethorpe County, so customers planning construction or substantial land work should check the applicable requirements before scheduling equipment.

Oglethorpe County Planning & Zoning provides information concerning land use and zoning, while Oglethorpe County Building Permits & Inspections provides information for building permits and inspections.

Getting required approvals settled beforehand means rental time can be spent working rather than waiting.

Load the Debris as You Clean

Cleaning several acres can create a much larger debris pile than expected.

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

For appropriate loads, it can help transport:

Brush and limbs
Storm debris
Dirt
Gravel
Construction cleanup material
Landscaping material
General property debris

Pairing the trailer with the skid steer or excavator allows much of the loading to be done mechanically rather than by hand.

Equipment Delivery to Crawford and Oglethorpe County

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Crawford and surrounding Oglethorpe County, subject to equipment and delivery availability.

That can be particularly useful with our larger machines because customers don't necessarily need to provide the heavy tow vehicle and equipment trailer required to transport the skid steer or excavator.

Send us the jobsite location and tell us what work you're planning so we can determine the appropriate equipment and delivery options.
