About Highgate,
Vermont
Highgate sits in Franklin County near the Quebec border, where rural land development, farm infrastructure projects and seasonal road work keep contractors and landowners busy throughout the year. Mini excavators see heavy use here for drainage ditching, culvert installation and clearing the kind of overgrown acreage common across this corner of Vermont. Skid steers are a go-to for gravel work, barn site prep and moving material on properties where access is tight. Residential projects — deck demolition, septic system excavation, yard grading — come up regularly in the unincorporated stretches between Highgate Center and Highgate Springs. Dump trailers pair well with any of this work for hauling debris, fill or brush off-site. Big Rentals connects you with local equipment owners in and around Highgate so you can compare options and book the right machine for the job.

What is the Big Rentals damage protection policy?
