Fleet Equipment Types: Heavy Machinery & Construction Equipment
Selecting the Right Equipment to Power Your Business
Selecting the right mix of heavy machinery and construction equipment is essential for ensuring your teams have the tools they need to perform their work safely, effectively, and with the right level of capability for the job. These assets often represent significant investments, and the choices you make directly influence operating efficiency and long-term financial performance. At Glesby Marks, we help you identify and lease the equipment that best fits your operational needs while preserving capital and supporting future growth.
As part of our equipment leasing services, we guide you through every consideration so you can build an equipment strategy that supports today’s workload and positions your business for long-term success.
Equipment Selection Built Around Your Business Needs
Every operation has unique requirements for its heavy equipment. Our process begins with understanding your project demands, usage patterns, and long-term objectives. Together, we evaluate:
Purpose and application:
Construction companies, landscaping operations, mechanical and electrical contractors, warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities rely on a wide range of equipment to perform daily tasks. We support forklifts, backhoes, snowplows, excavators, loaders, skid steers, trenchers, compressors, and generators, ensuring each asset aligns with your operational needs.
Operating conditions:
Your environment determines the appropriate equipment configuration. Rugged machines such as excavators and trenchers must be suited for heavy-duty jobsite conditions, while forklifts and loaders must perform efficiently in warehouse or yard environments. Snowplows and generators require dependable performance in seasonal and emergency conditions.
Budget and lifecycle cost:
Heavy machinery represents substantial capital investment. Our leasing programs balance upfront cost with long-term value by allowing you to preserve capital, manage cash flow, and plan for future replacement without unexpected expenses.
Operator safety and productivity:
Equipment must support safe, efficient, and reliable operation. We help identify specifications, performance considerations, and safety features that ensure your crews can perform their work with confidence and consistency.
Through this collaborative approach, we help you make informed decisions that extend equipment life, control operating costs, and support overall job performance.

Making Smart, Data-Driven Decisions
Selecting heavy equipment requires evaluating both operational performance and long-term value. We help you assess key considerations such as:
- Operating cost specific to each equipment type and usage pattern
- Resale value and end-of-term options
- Seasonal or project-driven usage requirements
- Opportunities to standardize equipment across locations
Our guidance is based on decades of experience supporting companies that rely on heavy equipment for daily productivity and long-term operational success.
Why Companies Choose Glesby Marks
Businesses choose Glesby Marks for equipment leasing because we combine independence, expertise, and a comprehensive service approach. Most leasing providers specialize in either vehicles or equipment—but not both. We offer a single-source solution for business owners who need access to full fleet support, from cars and trucks to heavy machinery and construction equipment.
Our clients rely on us to:
- Lease both vehicles and heavy equipment through one partner
- Streamline the selection and acquisition process
- Offer lease structures that preserve capital and improve cash flow
- Provide terms that allow ownership at the end of the lease
- Align equipment lifecycle planning with long-term business goals
Typical lease terms vary by equipment type—for example, generators are often leased for three years, while excavators commonly follow five-year terms. Because useful life typically extends beyond the lease, many clients elect to take title at the end of the term through our equipment lease programs.
