Spring & Summer Equipment Prep: The Ultimate Rental Checklist for Alberta Projects
When the frost lifts and job sites come back to life, it’s go-time. But rushing into your spring or summer projects without the right prep can mean downtime, busted gear, and wasted money.
Whether you’re breaking ground on a new build, working lease roads, or just digging in the backyard — ADV Energy Rentals has you covered with reliable gear and a no-BS approach to service.
Here’s a seasonal equipment prep checklist to help you hit the ground running this spring and summer:
✅ 1. Check Access and Site Conditions
Meltwater, frost heave, and soft ground can throw a wrench in your plans. Before delivery:
Clear mud, ice, or debris from access points
Lay mats if needed for soft terrain
Let us know in advance if a tracked unit or 4x4 delivery is required
Pro Tip: We’ve got rig mats, tracked mini excavators, and even hotshot trucks for those hard-to-reach sites.
✅ 2. Get the Right Equipment for the Job
Don’t overpay for something oversized or struggle with underpowered junk. Tell us about your project — we’ll match you with exactly what you need.
Our fleet includes:
Mini Excavators – perfect for trenching, landscaping, or foundation prep
Wheel Loaders – for material moving, gravel work, and clean-up
Light Towers – for early mornings or overnight pours
Heaters – because spring mornings can still drop below freezing
Power Equipment – generators from small plug-ins to industrial-grade
Hotshot Transport – from small parts to 40-foot trailers
✅ 3. Inspect Rental Gear on Arrival
We fully service and inspect every piece of equipment before it leaves our yard — but you should still:
Check fuel and fluid levels
Inspect tires, hoses, and tracks
Test lights, hydraulics, and safety systems
If something's off, call us right away — we’re on-call 24/7 and dispatch fast to make it right.
✅ 4. Don’t Get Burned by Hidden Fees
Lots of rental companies will ding you for:
Fuel top-ups
Delivery fees
Cleaning charges
Weekend hours
At ADV, we keep it straight: what you see is what you pay, unless something gets broken. Our quotes are clean, clear, and honest.
✅ 5. Book Early — Spring and Summer Get Busy
Once the sun comes out, so does every crew in Alberta. Don’t get stuck waiting on gear or paying a premium at the last minute.
📅 Book your rentals early and lock in your dates — we’ll have your gear ready and waiting.
✅ Bonus: Keep It Local, Keep It Simple
ADV Energy Rentals is family-run, Alberta-owned, and built to serve real crews doing real work. We answer the phone, show up on time, and give a damn about your deadlines.
