About Memphis, Tennessee

Memphis sees consistent construction activity across its industrial corridors along the I-240 loop, the South Memphis warehouse district and infill residential work in neighborhoods like Binghamton and Frayser. Contractors running utility work, site grading or concrete prep along high-traffic arterials like Summer Avenue or Lamar Avenue rely on mini excavators and skid steers to work efficiently in tight right-of-way conditions. The city's concentration of distribution and logistics facilities—tied to its role as a major freight hub—drives ongoing demand for boom lifts and scissor lifts for maintenance, racking installation and building envelope work. Residential owners tackling landscaping, drainage correction or storm debris cleanup in areas like Germantown and Collierville also turn to compact equipment rentals rather than hiring full crews. Dump trailers see steady use for hauling fill, debris and demolition material across projects of all sizes. Big Rentals connects renters with local equipment owners so they can compare availability, specs and pricing before booking.

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.
