About Boyd CAT
Boyd CAT is a heavy equipment dealership based in Louisville, Kentucky, providing machinery for industries such as construction, mining, and agriculture. They offer a comprehensive range of new, used, and rental equipment alongside parts and service support.
Renting Equipment in Louisville
Louisville's equipment rental market is supported by a mix of logistics and distribution construction along the I-64 and I-65 corridors, healthcare campus development around the University of Louisville medical complex, and consistent residential activity in the eastern suburbs. The Ohio River proximity means flood-related pump and generator rental spikes during wet springs, which can draw down available inventory quickly. Late winter and early spring tend to be the tightest periods — reserve early if your project starts before May.

Renting Loaders & Dozers: What to Know
Loaders and dozers handle the heavy earthmoving that kicks off most construction projects — clearing land, moving fill dirt, grading roads, and pushing material. Backhoe loaders are popular for their dual-purpose design with a loader bucket up front and a digging arm in back. For large-scale grading, motor graders deliver the precision a flat finish requires.
Renting Compaction Equipment: What to Know
Proper compaction is critical for stable foundations, roads, and utility trenches. Plate compactors work well for granular soils and paver base, while jumping jacks (rammers) are better for cohesive clay soils in narrow trenches. Ride-on rollers handle larger paving and road projects. Match the compactor type to your soil conditions for the best results.
Renting Excavators: What to Know
Excavators are the workhorses of any dig job — from foundation work and trenching to demolition and land clearing. Mini excavators fit through gates and work in tight residential spaces, while standard-size machines handle commercial site prep. Rental rates typically vary by machine weight class, and most rental companies offer daily, weekly, and monthly pricing.
Renting Generators & Light Towers: What to Know
Generators provide temporary power for construction sites, outdoor events, and emergency backup. Sizing depends on what you need to run — a small portable unit handles tools and lighting, while towable generators power entire job trailers and welding rigs. Light towers extend work hours on night shifts and improve safety at events and road projects.
Renting Skid Steers & Track Loaders: What to Know
Skid steers and compact track loaders are among the most versatile machines on a job site. With dozens of available attachments — buckets, augers, grapples, trenchers — one machine can handle grading, material handling, and demolition. Track loaders provide better traction on soft or muddy ground, while wheeled skid steers are faster on pavement.
Renting Aerial Lifts & Boom Lifts: What to Know
Aerial lifts are essential for construction, maintenance, and warehouse work that requires safe access to elevated areas. Scissor lifts work well for indoor jobs and flat surfaces, while boom lifts reach over obstacles on rough terrain. When renting, consider the platform height you need, indoor vs. outdoor use, and whether the job site surface is level or uneven.
Renting Tractors: What to Know
Tractors serve farming, landscaping, and industrial applications with a wide range of implements — mowers, tillers, box blades, and post-hole diggers. Compact tractors are popular for property maintenance and small acreage work, while full-size agricultural tractors handle field prep and hay operations. Renting lets you match the tractor size to seasonal needs without a long-term investment.
Renting Concrete Equipment: What to Know
Concrete work requires specialized equipment at every stage — mixers and buggies for placement, vibrators for consolidation, screeds for finishing, and saws for cutting joints and making modifications. Renting makes sense for most contractors since concrete pours are intermittent and the equipment sits idle between jobs.
Renting Cranes: What to Know
Crane rentals range from small boom trucks for HVAC units to large crawler cranes for structural steel and bridge work. Most crane rentals come with a certified operator, and many companies handle permitting and lift planning. Key factors include lift capacity, boom reach, and site access — your rental provider can help match the right crane to the job.
Renting Pumps & Dewatering: What to Know
Water management is a constant challenge on construction sites, especially in low-lying areas and after heavy rain. Submersible pumps clear flooded excavations, trash pumps handle water with debris, and wellpoint systems manage groundwater levels during foundation work. Rental companies can help you calculate the flow rate and head pressure your job requires.
Renting Trailers: What to Know
Trailers move equipment, materials, and debris between job sites. Flatbed trailers haul machinery, dump trailers handle fill dirt and demolition waste, and enclosed trailers protect tools and supplies. When renting, check the trailer weight rating against your load, and confirm your tow vehicle has the hitch class and braking capacity to pull it safely.
Renting Scaffolding & Ladders: What to Know
Scaffolding provides stable, OSHA-compliant work platforms for painting, masonry, siding, and building maintenance. Frame scaffolding is the most common for straightforward access, while system scaffolding adapts to complex building shapes. Many rental companies offer delivery, setup, and teardown as part of the package, along with guardrails and safety netting.
