Every summer, Tucson braces for the intense weather that comes with the North American monsoon. Also known as the monsoon season, this period usually hits between June and September, bringing sudden downpours, flooding, and muddy terrain. Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or landscaper, preparation is key. At TRS Equipment Rental, we offer the heavy-duty tools you need to get ahead of the storm and protect your property, your job site, and your timeline.
Understanding the Monsoon Shift
The typical monsoon is driven by a seasonal shift in wind patterns. In the summer, hot air rises and draws in moisture-rich air from the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea, and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)—a belt of low pressure near the equator. This pulls in clouds and water vapor, leading to the kind of heavy rainfall we experience here in Arizona. While winter monsoons in some parts of the world bring dry air, Tucson’s monsoon summer is anything but dry.
Unlike areas with clearly defined wet and dry seasons—like northern Australia or regions north and south of the equator—Tucson’s summer monsoons are abrupt and unpredictable. That’s why being ready with the right equipment is essential.
Top Equipment Rentals to Help You Weather the Storm
At TRS Equipment Rental, we stock powerful and reliable machines that are perfect for managing the challenges that come with monsoon weather.
- Skid Steers & Attachments: From grading muddy driveways to clearing debris after a storm, skid steers help you regain control of your property. Attachments like buckets and grapples make cleanup faster and easier.
- Excavators: When erosion or stormwater runoff causes serious ground shifts, excavators can help reshape and stabilize terrain.
- Trailers: Worried about hauling equipment, sandbags, or construction materials during the wet season? TRS offers trailer rentals to move what you need—safely and efficiently.
- Compactors: After flooding, soil often becomes loose and unstable. Compactors help reinforce the ground before the next storm rolls in.
- Generators: Power outages are common during monsoons. Renting a generator can keep lights, tools, and critical systems running.
Why Renting Makes Sense
Because dry winters and dry seasons leave much of the year storm-free, purchasing heavy equipment isn’t always practical. Renting allows you to access high-quality tools only when needed, without the expense of ownership or storage. Our team at TRS will help you choose the right equipment for the job and provide the guidance you need to operate it safely.
