About Gunnison, Colorado

Gunnison sits at nearly 7,700 feet elevation, and the compressed mountain construction season drives demand for equipment that's ready when the ground finally thaws. Contractors working on utility corridors along US-50, site prep near Almont or grading projects outside town lean on mini excavators and skid steers to move fast in the limited window between snowmelt and the next freeze. Residential work around Gunnison's older neighborhoods often means tight lots, retaining wall installs and septic work where compact equipment is the only practical option. Commercial projects tied to Western Colorado University facilities or the steady tourism infrastructure around Crested Butte keep aerial lift demand active through the warmer months. Dump trailers handle debris and material hauls across the region, especially when contractors are managing multiple sites spread across the valley. Big Rentals connects you with local equipment owners in and around Gunnison so you can compare available machines and book without coordinating a long-distance haul.

The initial rental period must be paid in full at booking. If you need more time, extensions can be requested before the rental period ends and require advance payment before they are approved.

If you think you might need extra days, book them upfront. Last-minute extensions depend on availability and owner approval.

What is the Big Rentals damage protection policy?

Before operating rented equipment, contact your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy covers liability or damage claims related to the rental.

Eligible rentals booked through Big Rentals also include Basic Rental Protection at checkout. This added protection can help limit your financial responsibility for certain damage or theft events during the rental period.
