Renting from Tallman Is Simple

If you’re new to renting from us, don’t worry—the process is straightforward and designed with your schedule in mind. All we need to get started is a completed New Customer Application, which collects some basic information about your company and project. Once that’s submitted, our team can quickly get you a formal quote tailored to your tooling needs.

We work hard to make sure every step of the rental process is efficient and transparent. There are no hidden fees, no unnecessary delays—just the tools you need, when you need them.

Protection and Peace of Mind: The Equipment Protection Plan (EPP)

Accidents happen. Tools get dropped, banged up, or exposed to the elements. That’s why we offer an Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) on every quote. EPP is our way of helping you breathe easier on the job. It insures your rental tools against accidental damage, so you won’t be hit with unexpected repair costs when the equipment is returned.

With the EPP in place, you can focus on getting the work done without worrying about minor mishaps or wear and tear.

Convenient Delivery and Return Options

We know your time is valuable, and transporting tools shouldn’t be a burden. Once your rental quote is finalized and you’re ready to move forward, Tallman Equipment offers flexible delivery and pickup options:

• Need equipment on-site? We can arrange direct shipment to your jobsite.

• Prefer to pick it up yourself? You’re welcome to schedule a pickup from our warehouse.

• Finished with the job? Either return the tools to us or let us arrange the return shipment for you.

We adapt to your timeline and project logistics, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Like It? Keep It.

It is not uncommon for customers to fall in love with a tool after using it in the field. If that happens to you, there’s good news—many of our rental tools are available for purchase at a pro-rated price. Simply let us know, and we’ll work with you to turn your rental into a permanent part of your toolkit.

Quality and Reliability, Every Time

One of the things that sets Tallman Equipment apart is the meticulous care we take with our rental inventory. Every piece of equipment that comes back to our warehouse goes through a rigorous inspection process. Our skilled technicians:

• Thoroughly clean ever piece of equipment

• Inspect for any wear, damage, or issues

• Make any necessary repairs to ensure everything is functioning at peak performance

Only then do we return the item to our rental inventory. This means when you receive a rental from us, your crew is getting tools that are ready to go to work immediately.
