No wheel loader is listed for rent in Miami today, as owners in the area have not yet put machines on the site. If you need one, post a request describing the work, and if you own a loader that is idle, list it at no charge. You can compare other places on the national wheel loader rental page.
In South Florida a wheel loader mostly works in yards: rock and sand piles at aggregate suppliers, bulk material at ports, recycling and concrete-crushing sites, and the staging areas of large developments. On a job site the same machine loads trucks, moves fill and cleans up after demolition. Its tires run quickly on paved ground, which is a plus when the site is a large lot instead of a pit.
A compact loader fits through gates and works around buildings. A mid-size machine, the typical rental, handles loading trucks from a stockpile. Large loaders suit continuous production, such as quarry-style or port-side handling. General-purpose buckets are standard, but rock buckets, high-tip buckets and pallet forks change what the machine can do. A quick coupler makes swaps painless.
Sandy soil and wet limestone fines behave differently under tires. Loaders can sink on soft fill, so check for pads or compacted base in the working area. Heavy summer rain makes clay and fines slick, and tire chains are seldom a solution in Florida, so plan loading areas on firm ground. Salt-laden air near the coast is hard on cooling packages, which you should ask about in an older rental.
Rate by the day, week or month, an hours allowance, fuel, delivery and who is responsible for damage to tires and buckets. Operators should have experience with the machine, and the owner will often want proof of insurance.

Tie it to the trucks you fill. A bucket that fills a truck in four or five passes is a good target.
A skid steer works in tight spaces, while a wheel loader moves much more material per hour.
Most deliver on a lowboy trailer. Ask for the cost of both the drop and the return.
Not always, so state whether you want one.
