About Essington, Pennsylvania

Essington sits along the Delaware River in Delaware County, just south of Philadelphia International Airport, where ongoing commercial development, utility upgrades and stormwater infrastructure work drive consistent demand for construction equipment. Contractors working corridor projects along Route 420 or near the Tinicum industrial waterfront regularly need mini excavators for tight-site excavation and skid steers for grading and material handling. Aerial work on warehouse facades, loading dock structures and older commercial buildings calls for boom lifts with the reach to handle multi-story access safely. Residential lots in the borough and surrounding Tinicum Township are dense and often dated, making compact equipment essential for demo, drainage work and landscaping without tearing up neighboring properties. Dump trailers round out most job site setups for debris and spoil removal. Big Rentals connects contractors and property owners with local equipment owners in the area so they can compare options and book directly.

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.
