Specialty Equipment Rental

U.S. Aqua rents marsh excavators in multiple size classes and submersible dredge pump systems. All equipment is owned, built, or maintained in-house and is available for both wet hire (with operator) and dry hire (equipment only) arrangements. Our marsh excavators feature low-ground-pressure undercarriages for operating in soft soils, marshes, and shallow water. Our dredge pumps are submersible systems compatible with excavator mounting.

Wet hire means U.S. Aqua provides the equipment along with a trained operator. The operator is on our payroll, knows the machine, and works under our safety program. Dry hire means you receive the equipment only and supply your own operator. Both options include maintenance support from our in-house service department. Most clients prefer wet hire for specialty equipment like marsh excavators because our operators have extensive experience in the specific conditions these machines are designed for.

Equipment rental is a supporting service for contractors who need specialty machines for specific project scopes. Most of our work is delivered as full-service contracting under fixed-price or T&M contracts with our own crews, superintendents, and project management.
