Trencher, Trench Box & Shoring Rental

Rent trenchers for irrigation, drainage, electrical and utility lines, from walk-behind units for yard work to larger ride-on trenchers for longer runs.

Walk-behind trenchers cut narrow trenches fast. OSHA requires a protective system (a trench box, shoring or sloping) for trenches 5 feet deep or more. Trench boxes, shoring and road plates are rarely listed on our marketplace partner, so plan to source those from a shoring specialist. Call 811 before you dig.

Search by city and rental dates on Derental to see available equipment, compare suppliers by location, delivery and rates, and request the rental in one place — no phone tag.
