The Best Places to Rent Your Own Snow Removal Equipment in Chicago

By Barry Solomon , last updated December 26, 2011

If you live in the windy city then you are familiar with the extreme winters, and you will need to know the best places to rent your own snow removal equipment in Chicago. Depending on the scope of your removal needs, you can rent anything from snow blowers to salters to snow plows. Of course, this equipment is in high demand during and after a blizzard, so it is a good idea to act quickly or, as some places allow, to make arrangements secured by a deposit, prior to any snow event.

Your health is a paramount consideration. No matter what approach to snow removal you select, be sure that you are physically up to the task. Be fresh so that you can maintain focus. While snow removal equipment has safety features, you can still easily injure yourself if you are not using it properly.

Hanna Trailer Supply

One of the best places to rent from is Hanna Trailer Supply's Chicago snow plow and salter rental services. They have an experienced staff that can help you to determine what size snow plow will work best for your needs. They can also advise whether you will need a salter truck or can do with just a walk-behind salter. They have a broad inventory of expandable wing plows, V-plows, and straight blade plows. They also have snow pushers, V-box salters, tailgate salters, and walk behind salters from which to choose. Since Chicago has a great amount of snowfall each winter, they will do the math for you to determine whether it is better to buy the equipment or to just rent it each time. Additionally, they offer 24-hour parts and accessories availability, along with repair crews in case you have any problem with your rented equipment.

Aero Snow Removal Corp

Aero Snow Removal Corp, which has a location in Chicago as well as in six other cities, is a major snow removal company. They performs services for Chicago's O'Hare International Airport as well as for Midway Airport and the City of Chicago. One of the Dejana Companies, Aero rents all grades of snow removal equipment and equipment for melting snow. In addition to handling airports around the country, Aero also does snow removal in shopping centers and stadiums. This means that you can rest assured that no matter how big your job, Aero will have the equipment that you require. They also offer 24-hour repair and replacement services whenever necessary to keep you up and running, even in the most severe weather.

Rental Max

Rental Max has several locations in the Chicago area. Known as a major supplier of construction equipment, they have a program for renting a Bobcat-Skid s-250 W/Breaker and Bucket for plowing and removing snow. A one day rental is $461, and you can save a little money if you can finish with the Bobcat in 4 hours or less for $345.75.

Snowbiz

It is a good idea to call a snow removal service to learn how they would approach your job and what equipment they would use. They will give you pricing and you can compare that to the cost of renting the equipment and doing it yourself. One such service is Snowbiz. This is the leading Chicago based company in its field and has been for 30 years. Get a quote from them to come and do the work for you. With their number in hand, you can decide if you want to rent the equipment elsewhere to do the work yourself. They have a program called Snowcare for Troops, under which they will remove snow and ice at no charge for any family that has a member serving in the military overseas.
