Jimco Rentals
Late-Model Excavator-Mounted Rental Packages
Jimco’s rental drills are available mounted on late-model Caterpillar and Komatsu excavators, giving you a proven platform that’s ready for production. This setup is a practical fit for contractors who want a complete, job-ready package: excavator + mounted rock drill + support from the people who build and service the equipment. If you’ve ever dealt with downtime from a worn-out rental unit, you already know why “late-model” matters. With Jimco Rentals, you’re not just renting equipment—you’re renting uptime, consistency, and a platform designed to perform on real-world job sites.
Built for Real Jobsite Drilling Needs
Rock drilling work isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why Jimco Rentals is a strong option for contractors tackling varied applications—everything from rock blasting jobs to pipeline ditch work, soil nailing, and other rock drilling needs where steady performance matters. Renting can also be a smart move when your workload changes project-to-project: you can scale up for a big push, add capacity without overextending your fleet, or test a configuration before committing to a purchase. The goal is simple: match the right machine to the job and keep production predictable.
Options That Fit Your Operation
Some crews want a full rental package; others want flexibility around existing equipment. Jimco can support both approaches. If you need a complete machine on a trusted excavator platform, Jimco Rentals can help you line up a solution that’s ready to mobilize. If you already have a suitable excavator and want to build around it, Jimco can also help you explore rental and mounting options that make sense for your timeline and site constraints. The end result is a rental plan that supports the way you work—without forcing you into a one-size-fits-all setup.
You’ve Got Options.
Package Mounts for Your Existing Excavator
For contractors with their own late-model excavators, Jimco offers a package mount option—such as a JH-series drill package designed for excavators around 30,000 lbs or greater. This can be a great path if your team prefers your own machine, operators, and jobsite setup, while still leveraging Jimco’s drill systems and support. Transportation to Jimco’s manufacturing facility can be arranged either by your team or with Jimco’s help, which can simplify logistics when you’re trying to hit a tight schedule. It’s a practical, job-focused way to get drilling capability onto the equipment you already trust.
Support That Extends Beyond the Rental
A rental only works as well as the support behind it. Jimco backs Jimco Rentals with a strong parts and service mindset—helping you stay productive during the rental period and reduce the risk of delays. Need the right component identified quickly? Jimco provides support to help determine accurate parts placement and keep your drill running the way it should. This is especially valuable when you’re working against weather windows, inspection schedules, or crew availability. The rental isn’t just a drop-off—it’s a relationship designed to keep your project moving.
Drill Steel, Bits, and Consumables When You Need Them
Drilling performance depends on more than the machine—consumables matter. Jimco supports customers with top hammer drill steel, bits, and striker bars, plus common thread types like T38, T45, and T51. If your project needs ongoing consumable supply while you’re running a rental, that’s a big deal: it means fewer surprises and fewer last-minute scrambles. With locations supporting customers from both the Charleston, WV area and the Nashville, TN area, Jimco can help you plan around supply needs and keep your drilling operation consistent across the entire job.
