The whole front end of the loader pivots to turn the mini loader in the direction required. Articulated steering isn't hard on tyres, the ground, the operator (particularly if he is sitting on the rear of the mini loader - this is critical to the right choice in buying a mini loader, that the operator sits on the rear of the mini loader, every major manufacturer now has they operator sitting on the rear chassis of the mini loader) or on the mini loader. Skidsteers on the other hand must generate a lot of pressure in the other wheels to force the whole machine to skid and turn around on the spot. 463940 2009-07-18T22:44:31-07:00 Zac We were going to rent U-haul, but we were told that the price you see is only for a 5 hour rental. Why pay $30 for 5 hours when you can pay $80 at Penske for a bigger truck, better gas milage and get it for 24 hours. 463960 2009-05-28T05:27:39-07:00 Dennis M Hmmm I wonder Raymond why all the yanking to the American's ? When you know nothing about Canada____________________________all of my posts are directly mostly at Americans. I'm not sure if UHaul offers truck rental services are available in Canada. Are you blonde or just "dumb" ! 463920 2009-05-06T02:54:51-07:00 Raymond My feeling is that UHaul centers seem to vary widely in quality from location to location. There doesn't seem to be any real uniformity among the various Uhaul truck rental facilities the way you'd except franchises like McDonalds for example, to be. I've seen a few nicer places...but on the whole, most of the places I've come across are decrepit mom and pop run operations with fleets of dented out wrecks, or ancient looking gas stations doubling as a Uhaul truck renting lot. But I guess in life, you get what you pay for. Uhaul trucks are definitely cheap, but they are like that due to their complete lack of frills or conveniences. Donna, I hope you make it to Texas in one piece. Let us know if you get a flat or if your engine suddenly cuts out..heh 463950 2009-05-05T19:23:25-07:00 Donna D. Well, I have to say I had a bad experience with the online registration. But the local dealer worked with me to make things right. But, will not know for sure until I get to Texas, leaving this weekend from Connecticut. Do not trust the online registration, they reel you in and then once you get to the location, it seems as though your basically stuck, because you have a deadline already. But, like I said, the local dealer worked on making things right, so we shall see! The truck did not have any dents either, LOL! 463910 2009-04-16T10:59:06-07:00 Raymond Mian, I'm not a UHaul Truck Rental Service. You might want to call UHaul directly or visit their website for a moving van price quote. And another thing...all of my posts are directly mostly at Americans. I'm not sure if UHaul offers truck rental services are available in Canada. 463900 2009-04-16T10:50:06-07:00 mian i want to move with my family from 3161-eglinton ave east to edmonton with luggage.so pl. give me the estimate 463930 2008-11-18T15:37:02-08:00 Luke I have to call BS on this... I am a Budget Truck Rental dealer. We are often if not always cheaper on both locals and one ways than UHell. People perceive us to be more because the equipment is nicer but its really not the case. I can always beat a UHell deal if I want to. ALWAYS check around and compare prices when you rent. Never assume one is cheaper than the other. 463890 2008-07-16T08:18:32-07:00 Lorraine We used U-haul to make our move in MA and the customer service was great. We rented two 26 foot trucks to move our house to another house in MA. We had no problems and the trucks ran fine. It was the cheapest way out and I'd do it again. I noticed the ones complaining took the cheap route, if they want better.....pay for it! I can't believe people would slam them about their trucks being dented- Who dented them! The one's who Rented them.....LOL Let's have some common sense here.
