No backhoe loader is listed for rent in Las Vegas just now. A contractor with trenching to do can post a request, and an owner can list a backhoe for free. The national backhoe loader rental page covers other areas.
New neighborhoods in Henderson and the southwest valley need water, sewer, gas and electric lines, and a backhoe digs the trench, lays the pipe and backfills with the loader bucket. Repair crews use the same machine to open a street, fix a leak and close the cut within a day. Irrigation lines for commercial landscaping are another steady source of work.
A backhoe has a digging arm at the rear and a loader bucket at the front, so one operator handles two tasks. Extendable dipper arms add depth. Stabilizer legs hold the machine steady while the hoe works. Many owners also carry a hydraulic thumb, a breaker and several bucket widths.
State the depth and width of the trench, the pipe and the soil. Caliche may need a breaker or ripper tooth. Ask whether utility locating has been done, because striking a line can be costly, and call the state's one-call service before digging. Confirm the operator, the fuel and the delivery. Make sure the sales tax is shown separately.
Crews dig early in summer to avoid afternoon temperatures, and an air-conditioned cab is a real plus. Dust control and water trucks are often required by permit when soil is disturbed.
