Safety Guidelines

Your safety is our top priority. Follow these guidelines to operate equipment safely and effectively.

Essential Equipment Safety Tips

Wear Proper PPE

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, steel-toe boots, and high-visibility vests when operating heavy equipment.

Inspect Before Use

Conduct a walk-around inspection before each use. Check fluid levels, tire condition, hydraulic hoses, and all safety features. Report any issues immediately.

Know Your Equipment

Read the operator manual and understand all controls before operating. We provide free training on all equipment rentals to ensure you're comfortable and confident.

Maintain Clear Zones

Keep bystanders and co-workers clear of the work area. Establish a swing radius zone and use a spotter when visibility is limited or when working near others.

Check Ground Conditions

Assess the terrain before operating. Avoid slopes steeper than equipment ratings, watch for soft ground, and be aware of underground utilities before digging.
