About Cohoes, New York

Cohoes sits at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers, and its built environment reflects that industrial history — brick mill complexes, tight urban lots and infrastructure that sees regular maintenance and upgrade cycles. Contractors working along Remsen Street or tackling utility work near the old Harmony Mills district routinely need mini excavators for confined-space excavation and skid steers for debris and material handling in areas where larger equipment won't fit. Residential projects across the city's dense neighborhoods generate consistent demand for dump trailers to haul landscaping material, concrete rubble and demolition waste. Facade and roofline work on the historic mill structures calls for boom lifts capable of reaching significant heights safely. Scissor lifts see use on commercial interior buildouts throughout the Capital District fringe. Big Rentals connects contractors and property owners with local equipment owners in and around Cohoes so renters can compare available machines, check specs and arrange pickup or delivery on their schedule.

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.
