Skid Steer Loaders Rental in Livingston County, MI

Rent skid steer loaders in Livingston County, Michigan. ECS Rents stocks compact and full-size skid steers for grading, hauling, landscaping, and site prep — with daily, weekly, and monthly rates.

A skid steer is the most versatile machine on a job site, and it's the most popular rental we offer. ECS Rents carries a range of skid steer loaders sized for everything from tight-access residential work to full-scale commercial site prep across Howell, Brighton, Hartland, and the rest of Livingston County. Pair any of our skid steers with a bucket, pallet forks, grapple, auger, or brush cutter and you've got a complete one-machine work crew.

Choosing the right skid steer comes down to two questions: how much weight do you need to lift, and how much access space do you have? Compact skid steers (around 1,300–1,700 lb operating capacity) fit through standard residential gates and work great for landscaping, light grading, and small grading jobs. Full-size skid steers (2,000–3,000 lb operating capacity) handle pallets of pavers, concrete debris, and serious dirt work. Not sure what fits? Call 517-518-1661 and we'll match you up.

All ECS Rents skid steers are inspected before every rental, fueled and ready to roll, and come with clear operating instructions if you've never run one before. Most homeowner customers are comfortable on a skid steer within 30 minutes. For commercial customers, we offer multi-day, weekly, and monthly pricing that beats the national chains.
