As the construction season starts to wind down and the weather turns cooler, many contractors shift gears from peak project mode to planning for the year ahead. For savvy business owners, that makes late fall one of the smartest times to invest in used construction equipment, especially from a trusted rental company like Art’s Rental.

Whether you’re looking to expand your fleet, replace aging machines, or finally own that piece of equipment you’ve been renting, this is the time to find quality machines at unbeatable value. Here’s why late fall is the best time to buy, what types of equipment are available, and how Art’s Rental helps you get the most from every purchase.

🆕 Year-End Fleet Updates Mean Fresh Opportunities

Every year around this time, Art’s Rental updates and rotates its rental fleet to prepare for the next season. That means late fall brings a wave of well-maintained, fully serviced equipment ready for sale. These aren’t old, worn-out machines — all are fleet-kept units that have been regularly inspected, maintained on schedule, and serviced by professional technicians. You get proven reliability and performance at a fraction of the cost of new.

Looking for something specific? This year’s lineup includes:

• Scissor lifts from leading manufacturers—multiple platform heights, power options, and brands available.

• Straight boom lifts (45 ft and 65 ft) ideal for exterior work or maintenance projects.

• Compact utility loaders like the Toro TX427 and Vermeer CTX100, perfect for tight-space excavation and landscaping.

• Skid steers and track loaders, including the Bobcat T870 and John Deere 333G, built for heavy lifting and versatility.

• Compaction equipment such as smooth drum rollers (36”, 66”, and 84”) for paving and site prep.

• Utility vehicles like the Kubota 4-seater and diesel-powered 4WD models, ready for all-terrain transport and site hauling.

• Backhoes, air compressors, trucks, and light construction tools rounding out the mix.

All equipment is clean, serviced, and ready to work.

🏃 Beat the Rush Before Spring Prices Rise

When the spring construction season kicks off, equipment demand skyrockets—and so can prices. By purchasing used equipment in late fall, you can avoid the spring rush and lock in better value before inventory tightens.

Contractors who buy now often enjoy:

• Lower off-season pricing 💰

• Better equipment selection ✅

• Faster delivery and less competition 📦

It’s a simple equation: more options, less pressure, and greater savings. The best inventory moves quickly, especially with high-demand categories like skid steers and aerial lifts.

🎯 Stretch Your Year-End Budget Further

If your company still has funds left in this year’s equipment or capital budget, late fall is the perfect time to put them to work. Instead of losing budget dollars that won’t roll over, investing now allows you to purchase tangible assets that can generate revenue for years to come. It’s also a great time to talk with your accountant about potential tax benefits for qualifying equipment purchases.

Whether you’re adding another skid steer to handle snow work, a used boom lift for winter maintenance, or a utility vehicle for jobsite transport, these purchases can strengthen both your fleet and your balance sheet.

💯 Trust What You’re Buying—Fleet-Maintained and Ready to Work

When you buy used equipment from Art’s Rental, you’re not buying from an auction or an unknown seller—you’re purchasing from a company that knows each machine’s full history.

Our rental fleet is maintained according to manufacturer guidelines. Before any piece is listed for sale, our team:

• Performs a complete multi-point inspection.

• Replaces worn components as needed.

• Cleans, tests, and verifies safe operation.

• Ensures all fluids, filters, and hydraulics are up to standard.

You’re getting equipment that’s been rental-proven, not just used. That reliability means less downtime, fewer surprises, and confidence that your new investment is ready for the next job.

🤝 Access Equipment You Already Know and Trust

If you’ve rented from Art’s Rental before, there’s a good chance you’ve already operated some of the same equipment now for sale. That familiarity is a big advantage — you know how it handles, what it can do, and that it’s maintained to our standards. Buying a piece of equipment you’ve already used can eliminate the guesswork that often comes with purchasing secondhand.

And because these units were part of our rental fleet, you’re getting top-tier brands — the same trusted manufacturers used across the industry. You’ll find names like John Deere, Bobcat, Kubota, Vermeer, Dynapac, Toro, and JLG among our listings.

🏁 Avoid Downtime—Start Next Season Ahead of the Curve

The off-season doesn’t have to mean downtime. Many buyers use the slower months to get their fleets ready for next spring. By purchasing now, you’ll have time to:

• Customize your new equipment with attachments.

• Train operators before busy season hits.

• Handle registration, transport, or decals with no rush.

When your next project starts, your equipment will already be in place—no waiting for orders, no unexpected shortages. Plus, if you need short-term rentals while you finalize your purchase, Art’s Rental can bridge that gap seamlessly. Our rental and sales teams work together to make the transition easy.

📞 Support That Continues After the Sale

Buying used doesn’t mean you’re on your own. Art’s Rental can help support every piece of equipment we sell. Our team can assist with:

• Parts and accessories for ongoing maintenance.

• Equipment training and support to ensure safe, efficient use.

We take pride in offering the same level of customer care for our used equipment buyers as we do for our rental customers. That’s part of what makes our program unique — you’re not just buying equipment, you’re building a relationship with a team that’s here for the long haul.
