Heavy Equipment Rentals in Central NH, White Mountains & the Lakes Region

Serving the Backbone of New Hampshire Projects

A Locally Tailored Introduction 

New Hampshire’s Central Region, the White Mountains, and the Lakes Region are known for their distinct beauty, rugged terrain, and varied seasonal activity. Stretching from the scenic shores of Lake Winnipesaukee to the forested peaks of Franconia Notch, this area includes beloved towns like Meredith, Plymouth, Lincoln, Ashland, and Conway. With a population mix of year-round residents, second-homeowners, and seasonal visitors, this region offers a diverse and active customer base.

Campton, Holderness, and Sandwich attract outdoor adventurers year-round, while Laconia and Tilton thrive with busy commercial development, especially along US Route 3 and Interstate 93—key arteries that move traffic throughout the region. NH Route 25, Route 132, and Route 104 also play major roles in regional access and commerce. Whether it's summer tourism or winter snowfall, infrastructure and roadwork remain constant needs here, making heavy equipment indispensable.

Contractors, landscapers, municipalities, and homeowners alike are tackling an increasing number of building, road maintenance, land clearing, and excavation projects. This growing demand reflects both seasonal infrastructure needs and a steadily expanding housing market. The hilly geography of central New Hampshire and the rocky soils of the White Mountains require powerful machinery to get the job done efficiently. And due to limited municipal budgets and tight contractor timelines, renting heavy equipment often becomes a more practical and cost-effective option than purchasing.

Seasonal traffic peaks can bring delays along I-93, particularly near the Ashland exit and into Plymouth during ski season or summer lake tourism. During the fall foliage season, routes such as the Kancamagus Highway and NH Route 112 see increased congestion, prompting road maintenance and seasonal clearing projects. Throughout all this, local contractors need reliable access to heavy equipment with minimal downtime.

At the heart of this region’s construction activity is Ashland—strategically located near the junction of I-93 and Route 3. Ashland serves as a logistical hub, offering fast access north to Lincoln and Franconia, south to Meredith and Laconia, and east toward Conway. This central location makes it the perfect home for NorthPoint Equipment Rentals.

With New Hampshire’s rugged climate, snowfall, and terrain—ranging from granite ledges to forested wetlands—contractors face daily challenges that require equipment like skid steers, tracked excavators, compact loaders, and telehandlers. Moreover, projects such as septic installation, foundation digging, utility trenching, and gravel driveway repairs are common across the region’s rural areas, lakefront properties, and small-town neighborhoods.

Local character also plays a role. Many of the communities we serve, like Thornton, Hebron, and Center Harbor, have a mix of newer development and century-old structures. Work here demands equipment flexible enough for modern construction yet maneuverable enough for small driveways and forested lots. Whether you’re clearing a pasture in Gilmanton, trenching a sewer line in Woodstock, or building a lakeside retaining wall in Moultonborough—having access to powerful, well-maintained heavy equipment is essential.
