Trimble GPS & GNSS Equipment Rental

Yes. One day is the minimum. The R580 starts at $89 per day and the R12i at $129 per day. If your job runs four days or longer, the weekly rate is usually cheaper than the day count, and we apply whichever tier costs you less. Minimum rental periods vary by equipment — some scanners and total stations have longer minimums, so check the individual rental page for that item.

If the receiver is in the fleet and your rental is approved, we can usually prepare, test and ship the same or next business day. Expedited and next-day carrier services are available depending on destination and cutoff time. Send your dates and we will tell you exactly what delivery date is achievable.

Yes. Rentals ship from our Houston / Cypress facility to anywhere in Texas — Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Midland, Lubbock and the rest. Fast ground and expedited shipping options are available throughout Texas. Send us the delivery ZIP and required date and we'll confirm the best shipping option.

Yes. Houston-area customers can have equipment delivered, and local pickup can be arranged in Cypress and may be the fastest option for urgent projects, subject to availability and rental approval.

Yes — Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, Lawton and the rest of Oklahoma, plus Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas and nationwide across all 50 states.

Every receiver rental includes two batteries, a dual-bay charger, the appropriate radio antenna, quick-connect adapter, required cables and a hard case. The R750 Model 2 package adds the Zephyr Model 3 antenna, antenna cable, tribrach and adapter, tripod and field power equipment. The exact contents are listed on each card above.

Yes. We build matched RTK pairs — R750 base with an R12i or R780 rover, or matched R12i or R780 pairs — and test them together before shipping so the radio settings and firmware agree. Package pricing depends on the receivers, radio band and rental length, so we quote it. Use the reservation form and select "base and rover".

Short version: the R580 is the lowest-cost rover. The R12i is a survey-focused 450 MHz rover or base with TIP tilt compensation. The R780 Model 2 adds dual-band UHF and 900 MHz alongside tilt, and is the value pick when you need both bands. The R980 is the premium integrated receiver — dual-band radio, tilt and built-in 4G LTE. The R750 Model 2 is the complete modular base-station package. Tell us the job and we will pick with you.

Both use Trimble ProPoint positioning, TIP IMU tilt compensation and 450/900 MHz dual-band radio, and Trimble publishes the same 8 mm horizontal / 15 mm vertical RTK precision for both. The R980 is Trimble's premium integrated receiver and adds a built-in 4G LTE modem for VRS and internet corrections without a separate device, on the newest platform. The R780 Model 2 has no integrated cellular modem — it connects through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or your controller — and remains the lower-cost choice when you want dual-band radio and tilt without moving up to the R980.

Both have ProPoint GNSS and TIP IMU tilt compensation, and both run as base or rover. The practical difference is the radio: the R12i uses a 450 MHz UHF radio, while the R780 Model 2 in our fleet is configured with UHF plus 900 MHz spread spectrum. If the site may run either band, or you do not know what the base is broadcasting on, take the R780. In the United States, 900 MHz spread-spectrum operation is commonly used where 450 MHz is congested; outside the U.S., radio band rules differ by country and are the renter's responsibility.

No. The R580 does not have Trimble TIP IMU tilt compensation. You level the pole as normal. If you need to shoot points off level, rent the R12i or the R780 Model 2.

No. The R580's 450 MHz UHF radio is receive-only — it can take corrections from a base broadcasting on 450 MHz, but it cannot broadcast them. It is a rover. For a base, use the R750 Model 2, R12i or R780 Model 2.

Yes. A 2 m carbon-fiber survey pole is $10 per day, $35 per week or $75 for 28 days with the R580, R12i and R780 Model 2 — tick the add-on box on the reservation form and it ships with the receiver. The R980 kit already includes one pole per receiver, so you only pay for extras beyond that.

Data collectors are available with a rental subject to availability, and we quote them with your receiver. Tell us which Trimble Access version and workflow you need and we will configure the controller before it ships.

Yes, by arrangement. Shipping, customs, insurance and security authorizations vary by destination, so international rentals are handled manually rather than through instant checkout. Contact us with your destination and dates.

Yes — a refundable security authorization is placed on your payment card before equipment ships: $1,000 for the R580, $2,000 for the R12i and R780 Model 2, and $2,500 for the R750 Model 2 package. It is held separately from the rental charges, it is not an additional rental fee, and it is released after the equipment is returned and inspected, subject to the rental agreement. A Certificate of Insurance naming 9JA Enterprise LLC as Additional Insured is required before equipment is released. Arrangements for established commercial accounts are reviewed case by case and are not automatic.

Your rental runs from the start date to the end date recorded on your rental agreement. Tell us the date you expect to ship the equipment back and we will set the end date to match. If the job runs long, contact us before the end date and we will extend and re-rate it.

Call or email before your end date and we will extend it. Extensions are re-rated on the same tier logic, so rolling from six days into a second week is charged at the weekly rate rather than stacked daily charges.

Yes, and it costs nothing. Tell us the job — boundary, topo, layout, utility, GIS, machine control checks — plus what controller and correction source you have, and we will set the receiver up for it and confirm the setup with you before it ships.
