Aurora is known for its hydro-compactable soil. Make sure you consider this fact when you’re choosing rental equipment. This type of soil is quite soft and loose. You will notice it displacing when you walk because it has less than 30 percent clay content.
Standard scissor lifts and manlifts should work fine on Aurora’s ground. However, the soft soil conditions mean you’ll need an elevated working platform on your boom lift. It’s also smart to choose a machine that has four-wheel drive or a crawler undercarriage. Forklifts should work fine unless you’re using them on a sloping plot of land.
Some plots of land in Aurora have different gradients and soil types. Look at the job site before renting equipment to make sure you’re selecting the right machines for the job.
Do your research before starting your new building project in Aurora, Colorado. With the right paperwork filed and rental equipment lined up, your project is sure to succeed.
