The Big Tex 14LP-16-16 dump trailer handles soil removal directly from the dig site. Customers can add the dump run service ($1,000/run) and Pacific Iron Rental hauls the dirt to an approved disposal facility. ### Drainage & Irrigation Trenching for French drains, area drains, downspout drainage, irrigation lines, and underground conduit. The zero tail-swing design fits in tight residential backyards throughout OC. ### Grading & Leveling Grade driveways, building pads, and yards before paving, seeding, or laying artificial turf. The included dozer blade levels material in place; excess loads go straight into the dump trailer. ### Demolition & Debris Removal Break up and load concrete slabs, block walls, and demolition debris. Add the optional dump run service ($1,000 per run) and Pacific Iron Rental hauls the loaded trailer to an approved disposal facility. ### Landscaping & Hardscape Prep Excavate for retaining walls, raised planters, walkways, and patios. Popular with landscapers and homeowners across Irvine, Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, and South Orange County. ### Foundation & Footing Work Precision trenching for footings, piers, stem walls, and utility conduit. The compact U27 operates in spaces that full-size excavators cannot access. ### Tree Stump Removal Remove stumps and root balls efficiently with the excavator bucket, then load debris directly into the dump trailer. ### General Residential Earthwork Backfill, soil moving, site prep, and any general digging project around the home. --- ## How to Book — Step by Step 1.

A: 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. ### Q: Does the customer need a CDL or special license to rent from Pacific Iron Rental? A: 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. ### Q: Does a renter need prior excavator experience? A: 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. ### Q: What projects is this equipment commonly used for? A: Pacific Iron Rental customers in Orange County most commonly rent the Kubota U27 and Big Tex 14LP-16-16 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. ### Q: What is the Dump Run Service? A: 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-16-16 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. ### Q: What is Pacific Iron Rental's cancellation policy? A: 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. ### Q: How does Pacific Iron Rental compare to large equipment rental chains? A: 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. ### Q: How do I contact Pacific Iron Rental? A: Pacific Iron Rental can be reached by phone at (949) 385-3576, by email at info@pacificironrental.com, or through the contact form at pacificironrental.com/contact.
