What equipment does Mikro Rentals offer?
Mikro Rentals provides premium roofing and construction equipment including the Equipter 4000, Trash Rocket, Tow-A-Lift, scaffolding, custom trash chutes, and debris-handling solutions. We specialize in helping contractors move debris from the roof to the dumpster faster, safer, and more efficiently.
How do I book an Equipter or Trash Rocket?
You can book online, call us directly, or send a text. We confirm availability, provide a quote, and schedule delivery to your jobsite anywhere in Southern California. We make the rental process fast and easy for busy roofing crews.
Do you deliver the equipment to the jobsite?
Yes. Mikro Rentals offers full delivery and pickup service to San Diego, Orange County, Riverside County, and Los Angeles. Our delivery team ensures the equipment is positioned correctly so you can start working immediately.
How far in advance should I reserve a machine?
We recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead, especially during peak roofing season. Last-minute rentals are available when inventory allows. Contact us to check real-time availability.
Do you offer same-day or next-day rentals?
Yes. If the equipment is available, we can often deliver the same day or next morning, especially within San Diego County. Call us for urgent jobs.
What are your daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates?
Rental pricing varies by machine. We offer competitive day, week, and month rates for the Equipter 4000, Trash Rocket, and all other equipment. Contact us for a customized quote based on your project length and location.
Do you require a deposit to reserve equipment?
Some rentals require a deposit. For established customers, we typically only require payment at delivery. New customers may need a small reservation deposit to hold equipment.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept credit/debit cards, ACH transfers, Zelle, and company checks. For monthly customers, we offer simple invoicing.
Are there extra fees for delivery, pickup, or fuel?
Delivery and pickup fees vary by distance. There are no hidden fees—everything is clear on your quote. Fuel fees apply only for equipment that must be returned with a full tank.
How can I check if a machine is available on my dates?
You can call, text, or fill out the online request form. We'll check our scheduling system and confirm availability immediately. We operate a real-time calendar to avoid double-booking.
Can I rent multiple units for the same project?
Yes. Many contractors rent combinations like two Equipters + one Trash Rocket for large roofing tear-offs. We can support multi-day and multi-unit projects with custom logistics planning.
What happens if I need to extend my rental?
Just contact us before your return date. If the equipment is not booked for another job, we can extend your rental at the same rate.
Do I need insurance to rent equipment?
Yes. Most contractors use their General Liability or Inland Marine policy to cover rented equipment. If you don't have coverage, we offer a Rental Damage Waiver option.
What is the Rental Damage Waiver, and what does it cover?
The Rental Damage Waiver is an optional protection plan that covers accidental damage to the equipment during the rental period. It does not replace liability insurance but protects you from unexpected repair costs.
What happens if equipment gets damaged during my rental?
If you selected the Damage Waiver, accidental damage may be covered. If not, your company's insurance typically covers repairs. We provide full documentation for claims.
Is training provided on how to operate the Equipter or Trash Rocket?
Yes. Upon delivery, we give hands-on training so your crew knows how to operate the equipment safely and efficiently. We also provide quick-start guides.
Do I need any special license or certification to use the equipment?
No special license is required to operate the Equipter 4000 or Trash Rocket. Any experienced roofing or construction worker can use them after basic instruction.
Can I use the equipment in tight or hard-to-reach jobsites?
Yes. Our equipment is designed for tight alleys, backyards, HOA communities, townhomes, and limited-access projects. We specialize in difficult roofs where traditional trucks or trailers don't fit.
How much space is required for delivery and pickup?
The Equipter and Trash Rocket require minimal space for access. As long as a pickup truck can enter, we can deliver. For tight-access jobs, call us—we've seen every type of site and can offer creative solutions.
Can you assist with debris-handling solutions for complex sites?
Absolutely. We specialize in custom debris systems, including plywood trash chutes, custom scaffolding setups, and multi-step debris transfer solutions. We work with you to design the safest and most efficient plan.
Do you offer custom trash chutes or debris systems?
Yes. We design and install custom plywood trash chutes and specialized setups for buildings with no truck access, courtyards, parking lots, and multi-story projects.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations are free up to 48 hours before delivery. Last-minute cancellations may incur a small charge due to scheduling and transportation costs.
What happens if weather delays my project?
We work with you. If heavy rain or wind makes work impossible, we can adjust your schedule or provide a partial credit depending on the situation.
Are there minimum rental periods?
Most machines have a one-day minimum. Weekly and monthly discounts apply on longer projects.
Who do I contact if there's an issue with the equipment?
Call us immediately. We provide troubleshooting over the phone and can send someone out if needed. We keep our equipment well-maintained to minimize downtime.
Do you offer on-site troubleshooting or assistance?
Yes. If something isn't working properly, we will come to your jobsite to fix or replace the equipment whenever possible.
Is it hard to use the equipment?
No — our equipment is designed to be easy to use, even for first-time operators. The Equipter 4000, Trash Rocket, and our debris-handling tools all feature simple controls, smooth mobility, and intuitive operation. During delivery, our team provides hands-on training, safety tips, and a quick demo so your crew feels fully confident before starting the job. Most customers learn to operate the equipment in just a few minutes.
Do you have people that can help do the job?
Yes. While Mikro Rentals does not provide labor directly, we work with trusted tear-off crews and roofing installation partners throughout Southern California. If you need help completing the job — whether it's tear-off, debris removal, cleanup, or even full roof installation — we can connect you with reliable contractors who specialize in using Equipters, Trash Rockets, and advanced debris-handling systems. This ensures you get the right labor + the right equipment so your project runs smoothly, safely, and on schedule.
