Skid Steer Loaders for Rent

A skid steer loader is a compact, engine-powered machine with lift arms that attach to buckets, forks, augers, or grapples. It steers by skidding its wheels or tracks rather than turning them, allowing tight maneuverability in confined job sites, residential lots, and construction areas.

The best value depends on your project. The John Deere 318G offers a fuel-efficient 65 HP Tier 4 Final engine at roughly 6,542 lbs, while the CAT 257D delivers higher capacity at 3,100 lbs rated operating load and 74 hp. Both are reliable, well-supported options available for rent.

A wheel loader has a fixed axle and articulated steering for larger-scale earthmoving, while a skid steer turns by skidding its wheels or tracks, giving it tighter maneuverability. Skid steers are more compact and versatile with attachments, making them better suited for confined or residential job sites.

Rental rates typically range from $300 to $450 per day or $900 to $1,350 per week, depending on the model and attachments needed. Monthly rates and hire-with-operator pricing are available upon request, with volume and project-specific discounts offered for longer-term rentals.

Our skid steer fleet is compatible with a wide range of attachments including buckets, forks, augers, sweepers, brush cutters, and grapples. This versatility allows one machine to handle material handling, debris cleanup, land clearing, post-hole digging, and grading tasks on the same job site.

No CDL is required to operate most compact skid steer equipment for homeowners and general contractors. All units feature a ROPS-compliant cab for operator safety, and Rossini Equipment Corp also offers hire-with-operator service for customers who prefer a skilled professional to run the machine.
