Why are you here? Not in an existential sense of course but in a practical immediate sense, you’re here because you’re thinking about renting utility tools and equipment from Tallman Equipment. Maybe you were just awarded the contract for a new transmission line construction project (congrats!), and you need dozens of helicopter blocks, some traveling grounds, and dynos. Or maybe your hydraulic pump is out of commission (our repair department can help with that!), and you need a temporary replacement to get you by. Perhaps you have a one off job that requires a 60 or 100 ton press or some 15 ton crimpers or ACSR cable cutters, and you don’t want to buy the tools outright.
These are all great reasons to explore renting with Tallman Equipment. Whatever your reason, Tallman Equipment Rental is ready to outfit your crew with everything you need to get the job done.
Why Rent from Tallman?
The reasons to rent are endless. It is cheaper on the front end to rent and return tools than it is to buy them. It is cheaper on the back end to not have to warehouse bulky equipment. Maintenance and repair costs don’t fall on you. It’s all pretty straightforward.
The real question is: why rent from Tallman?
Answer: Because Tallman Equipment has over 70 years of experience serving the utility industry, because we have the most knowledgeable team with the best tools and equipment, and because our commitment is to always do the right thing. From the beginning, the mission of Tallman Equipment has been about serving linemen. We recognize the critical nature of utility work, and our goal is not to provide a lineman with a tool but the right tool to get the job done.

Or you can rely on our tool experts to help you find the right tools to accomplish whatever the job requires. With their wide knowledge of the industry, our people often have useful insight into the best options to help get your job done.
Keep It Simple
You know that feeling when you accomplish a task you have been dreading and can finally cross it off your to-do list? The mental relief does wonders, and that is how you should feel when renting from Tallman.
The rental process itself is simple. Supply us with some basic information so we can get you set up in our system, and we can get started on a formal quote. To keep things as simple as possible, we include our EPP (Equipment Protection Plan) on every quote. This insures the rental items against any damage, and ensures you don’t have to pay unexpected charges when returning equipment. We don’t do hidden fees. So you should never be surprised with additional unexpected charges. The price you see is the price you pay.
Once everything is agreed upon, you can either arrange for your own pick-up: we rent equipment out of our Columbus, IN and Lake City, FL locations. Or leave the transportation to us, and we can have the equipment delivered to you. When you’re done, bring the equipment back. Or contact us, and we can arrange return shipping as well.
If you decide you love a tool and don’t want to return it, you can always buy it from us at a pro-rated price.
That’s all it takes for you to cross another item off your to-do list and move on to other things. Let Tallman worry about the cleaning, repairs, and storage.
Trust the Tools
Speaking of cleaning, repairs, and storage. Here at Tallman, our technicians pride themselves on their ability to return tools and equipment to as close to like new condition as humanly possible. Every item that returns from rental service is taken through a thorough cleaning and inspection. Grounds and jumpers are cleaned and put through dielectric testing. Stringing blocks are cleaned and the bearings repacked with grease. Battery and hydraulic tools are cleaned and function tested. Fiberglass and rubber goods are all carefully cleaned, inspected, and dielectric tested. In short, we make sure everything is functioning perfectly before returning it to our rental inventory to be available for your next project.
