Trencher Rental in Decatur, AL
Rent Ready Equipment & Sales rents trenchers to Decatur contractors and homeowners from our Hartselle yard at 950 Hwy 31 NW, about 12 miles south of downtown. A trencher cuts a clean, even trench in a fraction of the time it takes with a shovel — and a lot less than it costs to call someone out.

Walk-behind or ride-on?
Walk-behind trenchers suit residential jobs, shorter runs and fenced yards. They are easy to maneuver around houses, trees and flower beds. Ride-on and attachment-style trenchers cut deeper and longer, which makes sense for utility runs across a large lot or commercial site.
Ground matters. The chert and dense clay common around Decatur are harder on a chain than soft soil. Tell us the trench depth, width, length and what you expect to hit, and we will set you up with the right machine.
Before you dig
Call 811 before you trench so buried gas, power, water and communication lines get marked. It is free and it is required by Alabama law. Hitting a line costs far more than waiting a couple of days.
Delivered to your Decatur jobsite
We deliver trenchers anywhere in Decatur and to Priceville, Somerville, Trinity, Hillsboro and Moulton, or we will load one onto your trailer at the Hartselle yard. Need to backfill? Add a skid steer or mini excavator to the same ticket. Every trencher leaves serviced and ready, and we will show you how to run it safely before it goes out.

Common questions from Decatur customers
Can a homeowner run a walk-behind trencher?
Yes. We will walk you through the controls before you leave. Homeowners pay the same rate as contractors.
What if my yard has rock?
Tell us when you call. Rocky ground and hard clay change which trencher and chain will work best.
Can I rent something to backfill the trench?
Yes. Most customers pair a trencher with a skid steer or mini excavator.
