Equipment rental research library
Plan a rental with reference facts, then confirm the actual unit, quote and policies with the yard. Sources and research dates travel with every record.
Source-cited research reference
Batch 3: nationwide rules and gaps · seven more manufacturer brands · standards and NOAA climate normals · EPA/CARB references · access limitations.
New: expanded yard evidence · 50-state coverage and gaps · multi-brand model examples.
Research batches checked November 5–6, 2026 (Pacific Time). Public reference, not current rental availability, legal advice or independently verified yard policies.
Browse the research library: machine examples · 2023 market statistics · permit office directory · official rule summaries.
- Additional manufacturer examples — JSON · CSV. 21 examples / 81 measurements from Takeuchi, Yanmar, Multiquip, CASE, New Holland, Toro and Ditch Witch; configurations and withheld conflicting values are explicit.
- Nationwide coverage inventory — JSON · CSV. 51 state/DC rows exposing current public permit pointers, narrow summaries and unknown operator/dig/emissions requirements. Not completed compliance.
- Additional state rule references — JSON · CSV. 32 narrow official-source summaries/resources; edition, notice-clock and positive-response qualifications matter.
- Equipment-related standards bibliography — JSON · CSV. 12 official annual CFR references, explicitly July 1, 2025 edition. Current 2026 amendments were not verified.
- NOAA monthly station climate normals — JSON · CSV. 120 station/month rows, 10 stations, 1991–2020 reference period. Fahrenheit and inches; retain flags. Not forecasts or demand.
- Official diesel and weather references — JSON · CSV. 11 EPA, CARB, NOAA and NWS pointers. No blanket state Tier 4 mandate, machine wind limit or job clearance inferred.
- Source access limitations — JSON · CSV. URL-specific robots, unreadable-policy, HTTP denial and login-wall outcomes. No bypass; not proof of business closure.
- Multi-brand manufacturer examples — JSON · CSV. 10 examples / 43 measurements from John Deere, Kubota, Genie and JLG. No inventory or universal class-range claim.
- Additional official state summaries — JSON · CSV. 26 narrow state summaries/resources, including Ohio notice changes effective June 9, 2026. Not complete legal guidance.
- 50-state research coverage and gaps — JSON · CSV. All 50 states plus DC; distinguish directory pointers, destination attempts, narrow summaries and unknowns.
- Expanded first-party yard evidence — JSON · CSV. Unverified source-published hours, website category mentions and delivery declarations. Only confident location matches join listings.
- Yard website collection outcomes — JSON · CSV. Attempt metadata, not enriched or verified businesses. Robots-denied, unavailable and unreviewed fields stay unknown.
- Example manufacturer models — JSON · CSV. 83 Bobcat examples, not rental stock or universal classes.
- Observed model-sample spans — JSON · CSV. 19 metric spans within this sample, not typical ranges or safe limits.
- 2023 Census state market reference — JSON · CSV. 101 published state/industry rows; missing combinations are not zeros.
- 2023 Census metro and micro reference — JSON · CSV. 520 industry rows across 359 CBSAs, not individual cities.
- State transport permit offices — JSON · CSV. 50 states plus DC. FHWA directory pointers; destinations and legal thresholds not checked.
- Operator and digging rule pilot — JSON · CSV. Eight narrow official-source summaries, not a nationwide compliance database.
- First-party yard policy pilot — JSON · CSV. Six Unverified records; only two exact matches join listings. No stock or booking guarantee.
Normalized model measurements CSV (155 rows). Unknown values remain null in JSON and blank in CSV. Preserve citations, source dates and scope notes.

The original pilot remains available separately. Batch 2 expands first-party yard evidence, adds four manufacturers and 26 narrow official state summaries/resources. Neither batch represents live inventory or completed 50-state compliance. Public accessibility is not a blanket redistribution license. Sources and licenses.
