The Testimonials page on Toro's Web site lists positive feedback from those who have used the Dingo compact utility loader. In order to ensure all-around customer satisfaction, the company offers the following tips.

Areas where you can ensure a good rental:

  • Qualify the customer. Is he getting the correct piece of equipment to do the job he wants to do?
  • Know the Dingo's limitations. If the customer wants to move 50 yards of rock from one place to the other, is the Dingo the correct machine?
  • Ask the customer how much he plans to lift with the Dingo. Tip up on a Dingo TX is 1,480 pounds and 1,030 pounds on a wheeled Dingo.
  • Be sure the customer has an adequate vehicle to pull and stop the Dingo system.
  • Quiz the customer when the Dingo is returned to see if the Dingo operated to his expectations.
