Okay so picture this. You have a perfect plan for your backyard in Franklin. Maybe a patio. Maybe you want to rip out some old bushes. You rent a machine. It shows up. And it does not fit through your side gate. I have literally seen this happen, and if you need a small mini skid steer rental that squeezes through a 36 inch gate in Franklin, TN, this is for you.
That gate. You know the one. Every house in Franklin has it. Looks normal. 36 inches wide. Big enough for a mower, not big enough for a normal skid steer. That is why at Falcon Rentals on 1222 Lakeview Dr, Franklin, TN 37067, we kept a whole fleet that is built for this exact headache. I am not kidding when I say we measured gates around here before we bought machines.
Why That 36 Inch Gate Ruins Your Whole Day
Let me tell you why it matters so much.
Franklin homes are beautiful but they are fenced. Front yard is open, backyard is private. That side gate is the only way in. A regular skid steer? It is like 5-6 feet wide. You are not getting it in without taking the fence down. And who wants to do that? You will damage the fence posts, tear up the grass, and your HOA will love you for it. Not.
So what happens? People go back to wheelbarrows. I had a guy last month tell me he spent two weekends moving gravel with a wheelbarrow because he thought nothing would fit. He was exhausted. His back hurt. And he still had half the job left. All because he did not know a mini could get through.
What you really want is simple. You want something that slips through that gate like a bike, but still does the work of a crew.
Our Mini Fleet - Small Where It Counts, Strong Where You Need It
We call it versatile for a reason. Introducing our versatile collection of Mini Skid Steers. They are around 35-36 inches wide. On tracks, not wheels. That is huge.
Why tracks? Franklin soil gets soft. Especially after it rains. Wheels will spin, they will rut your lawn, they will leave marks on your driveway. Tracks float. They spread the weight out. I have taken these across a freshly mowed lawn and you can barely tell. Homeowners love that. Landscapers love that even more because their client does not call them yelling about tire tracks.
And do not be fooled by the size. I have watched this little thing carry a full bucket of wet clay that two guys could not even push. Hydraulics are strong. You get real lifting power, just in a skinny body. It is like that small guy at the gym who deadlifts 400 lbs.
How Renting Works - I Made It Dumb Simple
I hate complicated rentals. You have work to do. So here is how we do it at Falcon.
You are allowed to rent over the internet and by calling us or by physically visiting us. All you have to do is choose your item, pick the renting hours and make the pick up or delivery times. That is literally it.
You go to our catalog. You see the mini. You pick day or week rental. You tell us delivery or pickup. We handle the rest.
And look, we do not send you dirty junk. Our gear is in good working condition is kept clean and safe and ready to work. We promise 100% satisfaction. I mean, you are driving this through a client's nice driveway. You do not want oil dripping. We wash it, we check it, we fuel it. You get it ready to work.
Points - What happens after you order:
- I or my team confirm by call or text - hours, gate size, delivery window
- We prep the machine for 36 inch access - bucket tucked, ready to slide through
- We deliver fast to Franklin and surrounding areas - you can also order online or call (615) 554-0013
- You work, we pick up, or you bring it back to 1222 Lakeview Dr
No extra charges. Low prices. That is on our Why Choose Us list because we actually do it.
What Can You Actually Do With It Once Inside?
A lot more than you think. Once that mini is through the gate, your backyard becomes a real job site.
I have seen one mini do an entire patio prep in a day. Grading, moving base rock, leveling sand. By hand? That is a week.
Points - Real jobs I see every week in Franklin:
- Grading and leveling for a shed or patio - saves you hours of raking
- Hauling mulch, soil, gravel - one bucket equals like 10 wheelbarrow loads
- Clearing brush and old bushes - grapple does it in minutes
- Trenching for drainage - small but mighty
And attachments. This is where it gets fun. Discover unparalleled versatility with our Mini Skid Steer Attachments. You rent the machine, then you clip on what you need. Bucket for dirt. Grapple for brush. Trenchers for pipes. It is like Legos for grown-ups doing real work.
And hey, if you ever need deeper reach for a footing or a big dig, sometimes people think about getting a full excavator rental for that day, but honestly for anything inside that 36 inch gate, the mini with an auger is usually the smarter move.
Why Local Matters - I Am Not a Big Box
You can rent from anywhere. But here is the difference.
We are owned and operated locally in Franklin, TN. I know which streets have tight gates. I know Westhaven, I know Cool Springs. I know that clay here will stick to everything. When you call (615) 554-0013, you talk to someone who knows Franklin, not a call center three states away.
We keep prices honest. No extra charges. Competitive daily, weekly, monthly rates - prices are on product pages. Choice of day or week rental. And HABLAMOS ESPAÑOL - text or call, we have Spanish support because half my crews speak Spanish and I want them to feel comfortable.
