For guys who has lot of heavy equipment that are lying idle for the time being and they are unsure as to when they might need them again they can rent it out to people who will make some use of it and keep the machine in working order. If you keep heavy equipment idle for a long time and then all of a sudden start using it, it will generate issues. It may just not start or might give problems for which you need the help of a mechanic to get that sorted. This is why it is always better that you rent the machine out to someone who can use the machine and also pay you the rental.
There are some companies who solely deal with renting heavy machines to contractors and other small and big sized construction companies. As a matter of fact most of the big construction companies to a certain extent depend upon rented heavy equipment. The big sized companies hire contractors for the job who in turn largely depend on rented heavy equipment. This means that as long as you have a thriving construction industry, the parallel business of renting heavy equipment will never run dry. One of the most common heavy equipment that is used in almost every construction jobsite is an excavator. So you will normally find the demand for excavators on an increasing trend and if you have them in plenty then you can for sure make good sum of money by not doing anything.
All you got to do is simply rent them out to contractors or construction companies and ensure that they do not misuse it or overload it with work. Normally people have the tendency to get more work done on heavy equipment that are rented. They know that they do not have to keep the machine with them forever and therefore do not have to bother about the maintenance and service costs. Since it belongs to you, you are supposed to make sure that the excavator is not overloaded with work and is also serviced at regular intervals.
You can rent your excavator by listing the machine on an online portal. Portals that are meant for renting heavy equipment should be used for this purpose. Register on one such website and take few pictures of the excavator to post it on the listing. Please mention the model number of the excavator on the title of the listing and be a little descriptive about the machine. You may want to add things like the age of the machine and few of its features that will attract the attention of the prospect. The pictures that you add should be clear for the prospect to make out if at all the machine is worthy to be taken on rent.
Leave your number on the listing for interested people to contact you and if they want to inspect the machine you should not have any problem with that. The website will charge you some fees to list the item but that will be too nominal and should not be an issue.
