Why Rent From NorthPoint
THE LOCAL DIFFERENCE
NorthPoint is a family-owned New Hampshire equipment rental company founded in 2024 by Kyle DiGiacomo, whose family has 25+ years in the construction industry. Here's what that means when you rent an excavator from us.
Every Machine Inspected Before Delivery
Every excavator is serviced, inspected, and verified job-ready before it leaves our yard. Equipment arrives fueled and clean. If something isn't right, we fix it before it reaches your site.
Real Equipment Advice From People Who've Used It
Our team has actual construction experience. When you call to ask which excavator fits your job, the answer comes from people who have run that machine in NH terrain — not from a script.
Operator Walk-Through With Every Rental
Every excavator rental includes a full operator walk-through before you leave the yard. Controls, safe startup and shutdown, and site-specific considerations are all covered. First-time renters always welcome.
Local Accountability — Not a National Call Center
When something needs attention mid-rental, you call the store — not a 1-800 number. The people you deal with live in your region, know your roads, and are invested in your project's success.
Best Price Guarantee
NorthPoint matches or beats any local competitor's quote for the same excavator. Bring us a lower price and we'll match it. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Earn Loyalty Club Discounts
Every excavator rental earns NorthPoint Loyalty Club credits. The more you rent, the more you save — Gold, Silver, and Platinum tier discounts of 10%, 15%, and 20% off book rates.
Excavator Rental FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to rent an excavator in New Hampshire?
Excavator rental rates vary by machine size and rental duration. NorthPoint offers daily, weekend, weekly, and monthly rates. All rates are backed by the

(603) 499-7926.
Where can I rent an excavator near me in New Hampshire?
NorthPoint has five NH excavator rental locations: Ashland (603) 375-4161, Tilton (603) 499-7926, Hooksett (603) 736-7145, Rumney (603) 952-3550, and Colebrook (603) 255-3790. Free delivery within 5 miles of any location. Statewide delivery available — always quoted upfront.
What is the smallest excavator available for rent at NorthPoint?
The smallest machine is the Bobcat E10 at 1.3 tons. Its retractable undercarriage narrows to 28 inches — it fits through a standard 30-inch doorway or gate. Zero tail swing allows full rotation in extremely tight spaces. It's the right machine for interior work, walled backyard access, and any site where a larger machine simply can't get in.
Do I need a license to operate an excavator in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire does not require a government-issued license to operate an excavator on private property. OSHA does require operators to be trained on the specific type of equipment they use. NorthPoint provides a full operator walk-through with every rental. If you have no excavator experience, call us — we'll help you assess whether the job is appropriate for a first-time operator.
Can I get same-day excavator delivery in New Hampshire?
For mini and compact excavators, same-day delivery is often possible depending on current availability and your location relative to the nearest NorthPoint store. Call your nearest location directly to check. For full-size machines and peak construction season (spring through fall), booking ahead is strongly recommended to guarantee availability and schedule delivery.
What happens if I hit ledge rock during my excavation?
A standard bucket won't break through ledge. You'll need a hydraulic breaker attachment. NorthPoint carries breakers compatible with several excavator models. If you suspect ledge on your site, book the breaker when you reserve the excavator — don't wait until you're mid-job. NH's geology makes ledge encounters common across Grafton, Carroll, and Coos counties in particular. Call your location to confirm breaker availability for your machine.
Can I pick up an excavator myself instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Pickup is available at all five NorthPoint locations. You must provide a flatbed trailer rated for the machine's operating weight, with a compliant 5-point tie-down configuration, electric trailer brakes, valid registration, and current inspection. NorthPoint will not release equipment to an inadequate trailer or tow vehicle. Delivery is often the simpler option for excavators — call us to compare the logistics and cost.
Can NorthPoint deliver to my job site in the North Country or Coos County?
Yes. NorthPoint's Colebrook location (88 Main St, 603-255-3790) serves Coos County — including Pittsburg, Lancaster, Stewartstown, Gorham, and surrounding communities. Free delivery within 5 miles of the Colebrook store. Delivery throughout Coos County and the North Country is available for a fee, always quoted upfront. This is the only family-owned equipment rental company in northern NH with a true North Country location.
