Durham rental FAQ
How do I pick up a rental near Durham?
Rentals are picked up and returned at a Carolina Iron pickup zone. We confirm the closest one to Durham when you book, along with the machine’s transport weight so you can bring the right truck and trailer.
What’s the most popular rental in Durham?
Mini excavators in the 3 – 4 ton range and compact track loaders. Between them they cover most drainage, trenching, grading, and clearing jobs on Durham properties.
Do I need to call 811 before digging?
Yes. North Carolina law requires you to contact NC 811 at least three full working days before you dig so underground utilities can be marked. It’s free.
I own equipment in Durham. Can you rent it out for me?
Yes. We consign compact equipment from owners around Durham, rent it out, handle the renters and paperwork, and pay you a share of every rental.
