About Wausau, Wisconsin

Wausau sits along the Wisconsin River in Marathon County, where residential development on the city's west side and commercial work along Business 51 and Stewart Avenue keeps contractors moving from spring thaw through late fall. Mini excavators see regular use for utility trenching, basement work and site prep on the rocky, uneven terrain common across central Wisconsin. Skid steers are a staple for grading, debris clearing and material handling on both new builds and renovation projects in older neighborhoods like Schofield and the historic downtown core. Aerial lifts — boom lifts and scissor lifts both — come into play for facade work, industrial maintenance and the kind of high-bay warehouse jobs that dot the US-51 corridor north toward Rib Mountain. Homeowners tackling landscaping, drainage or demo work rent dump trailers and compact equipment to handle loads without hiring out full crews. Big Rentals connects you with local owners and small operators across the Wausau area so you can compare available equipment, specs and pricing before you commit.

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.
