About this machine

Single-drum vibratory soil compactor with a padfoot drum — built for cohesive soils where a smooth drum just rides on top. The pads penetrate and knead clay and silt, which is what trench backfill, building pads, road base and subgrade prep actually need in Alberta ground. Articulated with a ROPS canopy and rubber drive tires. Delivered to your jobsite.

  • Not suppliedAn operatorThe rate is the machine on its own. You put a trained, competent person in the seat — the yard does not send one, and there is no add-on that changes that.
  • Not suppliedInsuranceThe damage waiver is not insurance. It reduces what you owe for accidental damage; it does not cover theft, misuse or an untrained operator, and it does not stand in for the policy behind your certificate.

Delivery, add-ons and the waiver

Getting it there
Add-ons
The damage waiver

What you bring

Have these ready and the yard can release the machine on the day.

  • Certified operatorA trained, competent operator. You certify at checkout that whoever runs this machine is trained and competent on this machine class.
  • Certificate of insuranceA current certificate of insurance naming Cold Steel Rentals. We verify it before the machine is released — a COI is required on every rental.
  • Staff approvalYour dates are held the moment you reserve. The yard checks your insurance and licence before the machine leaves — that is the only step that is not instant.

Things to know

Who may run it

  • Every person who runs this machine has to be trained and competent on this class of machine.
  • You certify that yourself at checkout — the yard does not test you — and it is a clause of the agreement you sign.
  • Occupational health and safety law in Alberta puts that on you.

Insurance

  • A certificate of insurance naming Cold Steel Rentals as additional insured and loss payee, on every rental without exception.
  • 12%of the rental— damage waiver, on every order. A valid certificate on file is the one thing that takes it off.
  • The yard reads the certificate before the machine is released. Send it at checkout or have your broker email it.

Cancelling

  • 24hor more before pickup — cancelling costs nothing.
  • 48hor more if we are delivering — a truck is committed sooner.
  • Inside that window, part of the rental is kept.
