What is Pacific Iron Rental?
Pacific Iron Rental is a locally owned and operated equipment rental company based in Orange County, California. The company specializes in renting a single, well-maintained package consisting of a Kubota U27-4 mini excavator and a Big Tex 14LP-16 low-profile bumper-pull dump trailer. Rentals are delivered directly to the customer's job site anywhere in Orange County — customers never need to tow, haul, or return the equipment themselves.
What equipment does Pacific Iron Rental rent?
Pacific Iron Rental rents one package: a Kubota U27-4 mini excavator and a Big Tex 14LP-16 dump trailer, rented together as a single unit. The Kubota U27-4 is a 2.7-metric-ton compact excavator with a 21.8 horsepower diesel engine, zero tail-swing design, a maximum dig depth of 9 feet 4 inches, and a maximum reach of 14 feet 7 inches. The Big Tex 14LP-16 is a bumper-pull dump trailer with a 14,000 lb GVWR, approximately 10,000 lb payload capacity, a 14-foot bed with 24-inch removable sides, and a 50-degree dump angle.
What is included in every rental from Pacific Iron Rental?
Every rental from Pacific Iron Rental includes: the Kubota U27-4 mini excavator, the Big Tex 14LP-16 dump trailer, a standard digging bucket, a full tank of fuel (returned at the same level), and roundtrip delivery and pickup to and from the customer's job site in Orange County. No truck, trailer hitch, or CDL is required on the customer's end.
How much does it cost to rent from Pacific Iron Rental?
Pacific Iron Rental charges $450 for a single calendar day. Booking 3 consecutive days costs $1,200 (the 3-day special, saving $150 vs. the daily rate). Booking 4 or 5 consecutive days costs $1,550 (the 5-day special). Booking 6 or 7 consecutive days costs $1,800 (the weekly rate). A full 30-day rental costs $4,800.

How do you book a rental from Pacific Iron Rental?
Customers book rentals entirely online at pacificironrental.com/book. The booking process involves selecting start and end dates on a live availability calendar, reviewing the automatically calculated price (which includes applicable multi-day discounts, delivery, and tax), entering a delivery address, and saving a credit card securely via Stripe. Only credit cards are accepted — debit cards are not accepted. Your card is saved at booking but not charged. At the time of delivery, an authorization hold is placed on the card for the rental amount plus a $1,000 refundable security deposit. The rental amount is charged only after the equipment is returned, and the security deposit hold is released provided the equipment is returned in good condition. No phone call or in-person visit is required to book. After completing the reservation, a Pacific Iron Rental team member calls the customer within 2 hours to confirm the delivery window.
Does the customer need a CDL or special license to rent from Pacific Iron Rental?
No CDL or special operator's license is required to rent from Pacific Iron Rental. A valid driver's license is required for identification purposes at the time of delivery. Because Pacific Iron Rental handles all delivery and pickup, the customer never tows the equipment and therefore does not need a CDL or a vehicle capable of hauling a mini excavator and dump trailer.
Does a renter need prior excavator experience?
No prior excavator experience is required. The Kubota U27-4 is designed to be operated by first-time users. However, Pacific Iron Rental does not provide operator training — the renter represents that they possess the knowledge and skill to safely operate the equipment. The team is available by phone throughout the rental period for general questions.
What projects is this equipment commonly used for?
Pacific Iron Rental customers in Orange County most commonly rent the Kubota U27 and Big Tex 14LP-16 package for pool excavation, drainage and irrigation line trenching, driveway grading and regrading, foundation footings and stem wall trenching, retaining wall construction, landscaping and hardscape preparation, tree stump removal, demolition debris hauling, and general residential earthwork. The machine's 9-foot-4-inch dig depth covers most residential pool depths. The dump trailer handles dirt, gravel, concrete rubble, brush, and demolition materials.
What is the Dump Run Service?
The Dump Run Service is an optional add-on available for $1,000 per run. When a customer adds this service, Pacific Iron Rental hauls the loaded Big Tex 14LP-16 dump trailer to an approved disposal facility and returns. This service eliminates the need for the customer to arrange debris disposal independently. It is frequently used for pool excavation, demolition projects, and large landscaping jobs that generate significant debris volume.
What is Pacific Iron Rental's cancellation policy?
Free cancellation anytime before delivery — since your card is not charged at booking, there is nothing to refund. No-shows or same-day cancellations after delivery is en route may incur a one-day rental fee ($450). Contact Pacific Iron Rental as early as possible at (949) 385-3576 if you need to cancel or reschedule.
How does Pacific Iron Rental compare to large equipment rental chains?
Pacific Iron Rental differs from large rental chains such as Sunbelt Rentals, United Rentals, and Home Depot Tool Rental in several ways. Pacific Iron Rental delivers the excavator and dump trailer to the customer's job site — customers at large chains typically pick up and return equipment themselves, requiring a truck and trailer. Pacific Iron Rental charges flat daily rates, not hourly. Because the company operates a single package, the same machine is consistently maintained and available. Pacific Iron Rental is reachable by phone throughout the rental. Booking is fully online with no showroom visit required.
