What heavy equipment rental software has to handle

Heavy fleets mean high-value machines, long job-site rentals, and transport that takes real planning. MOAB covers every part of that work on the same live data.

01

Utilization by cat class

Track financial and physical utilization for every excavator, loader, and lift, by cat class and branch, so you know where to move, re-rate, or sell.

02

Transport and delivery

Plan lowboy and flatbed moves on a live map, with a warning when a truck goes over its weight or volume limit.

03

Customer portal and mobile

Customers request equipment and pay invoices in their own portal. Your reps quote from live availability on their phones.

04

Service and repairs

Work orders live beside the rental schedule. When a machine goes down, the counter and dispatch know before they promise it to a customer.

05

Contracts and billing

Every machine on a contract keeps its own start and end dates. Cycles prorate, and the math shows on the invoice.

06

Accounting built in

AR, AP, and the general ledger stay in sync with every contract and work order, so month-end closes without a spreadsheet.

One excavator rental, one record

Follow a single machine from the first request to the final invoice. Each step updates the same record, so the counter, yard, drivers, and accounting all work from the same picture.

01 Request

A contractor emails for a 30-ton excavator next Monday

AI drafts the quote from the email. Once signed, it becomes a reservation that holds the machine.

02 Delivery

Dispatch books the lowboy

The driver logs photos and a signature on site, and the contract goes on rent.

03 On rent

Mid-job, the crew needs a hammer attachment

It bills on the same contract, prorated to the cycle.

04 Off rent

The job wraps and the customer requests a pickup

The pickup lands on the dispatch board.

05 Service

Back in the yard, a tech opens a work order

The counter sees when the machine is ready to rent again.

06 Invoice

The final invoice posts to the ledger

Revenue and utilization update the cat class dashboard.

The AI-native heavy equipment rental ERP

Legacy rental systems were built decades ago, on data models that were never designed for AI. MOAB runs every workflow on one real-time data model, so AI works inside the job itself.

Orders drafted from customer emails

AI reads the request, matches the account, and drafts the order with live availability.

Fleet questions answered in plain English

Ask about utilization, pickups, or a branch's numbers and get the answer from live data.

Payments applied automatically

AI matches wires, ACH, and checks to open invoices, including short-pays.

How heavy equipment rental companies grow on MOAB

Every heavy machine ties up serious capital, so idle days add up fast. MOAB shows utilization, fleet OEC, and P&Ls by branch, cat class, asset, and customer, refreshed every five minutes.

Heavy hauls planned around real truck capacity

Heavy equipment rental software FAQ

Have a question that isn't here?

What is heavy equipment rental software?

Heavy equipment rental software is the system rental companies use to manage fleets of construction and industrial machines like excavators, loaders, dozers, and aerial lifts. It tracks availability across branches, writes contracts, schedules transport, manages service, and bills customers. Enterprise platforms also run accounting and fleet analytics. For a broader look at the category, see equipment rental management software.

What features matter most in heavy equipment rental software?

Look for utilization reporting by cat class and branch, dispatch that accounts for truck capacity, condition records at delivery, service that's tied to availability, and contract billing that handles swaps and partial returns. Multi-branch fleets also need the data to update in real time, since a machine's status changes throughout the day.

How does MOAB track heavy equipment utilization?

Built-in dashboards show fleet OEC and financial and physical utilization by branch, cat class, and asset, refreshed every five minutes. You can also ask a utilization question in plain English and save the answer as a dashboard.

How does MOAB handle heavy equipment delivery and pickup?

Dispatchers plan on a live map with truck and driver locations, and MOAB warns before a truck is overloaded. Booking an outside hauler creates the purchase order, and drivers record condition photos and customer signatures on their phones.

How does MOAB bill long-term heavy equipment rentals?

Billing runs on cycles you set, and the contract follows the job as it changes. Add a machine or attachment mid-rental and it bills on the same contract, prorated to the cycle. Swaps, partial returns, and extensions update billing automatically, and the branch dashboard flags anything delivered but not yet billing.

Does MOAB work for dealer rental stores?

Yes. Dealer rental stores, including H.O. Penn Cat and Decker, partner with MOAB. Dealerships that also sell and service equipment can run rental and sales together on the MOAB dealership ERP.

Who is MOAB built for?

MOAB is built for heavy equipment rental companies ready to modernize, from regional fleets adding yards to national operators. If your current system is holding the team back, it's worth a demo.

Can MOAB replace our current rental system?

Yes. A named MOAB implementation lead maps your branches, cat classes, rates, and billing cycles, then moves your customers, assets, and open contracts. Teams train and test on their own data before going live, branch by branch or all at once.
