As the Northland shakes off winter and the to-do lists start piling up, one thing is certain: projects don’t wait. Whether it’s landscaping, home improvements, construction, or business needs, having the right equipment at the right time can make all the difference. That’s exactly where Lumberjack Rental steps in.
Opened in February 2026, Lumberjack Rental is the vision and hard work of local entrepreneur and veteran business owner Troy Persaud. Located in Cloquet’s West End Business District at 119 Avenue B, the business has quickly positioned itself as a much-needed resource for the region. After purchasing and revitalizing the former Lyn’s Auto Body building, Troy transformed the space into a dual-purpose hub, home to both Lumberjack Rental and Nordic Legend Products.
His motivation was simple and rooted in real need.
“I was tired of driving to Duluth to pick up equipment rentals after McDonald Rental closed. I knew Cloquet needed this. I’m an entrepreneur. I saw the gap, and I went for it.”
That mindset is exactly what defines Lumberjack Rental: proactive, community-driven, and built on solving real problems.
Equipment That Works as Hard as You Do
Lumberjack Rental isn’t just filling a gap—it’s raising the bar. Troy has invested heavily in a robust lineup of top-tier equipment, carrying trusted brands like Kubota, Genie (a Terex brand), Toro, Skyjack, JLG, Polaris, Can-Am, PJ Trailers, and more.
Their inventory spans across a wide range of categories, including:
Aerial & Lift Equipment
Construction & Compaction Equipment
Concrete & Demolition Tools
Emergency Equipment (generators, heaters, steamers)
Flooring Equipment (grinders, sanders, tile strippers)
Excavators & Skid Steers
Pumps & Plumbing Tools
Trailers & Transport Solutions
Tree, Yard & Landscaping Equipment
And essential tools like drills, saws, and sewer snakes
Whether you’re a contractor managing a job site or a homeowner tackling a weekend project, Lumberjack Rental delivers the tools to get it done right.
Service That Sets You Up for Success
What truly sets Lumberjack Rental apart isn’t just the equipment, it’s the approach.
Troy and his team prioritize customer understanding, ensuring renters have a general working knowledge of the equipment they’re using. It’s about more than just handing over keys; it’s about setting customers up for success.
They also emphasize planning ahead, especially during peak seasons. With high demand in the warmer months, customers are encouraged to think proactively, whether that means bringing a trailer, renting one on-site, or scheduling delivery for added convenience.
A Business Built on Action
Lumberjack Rental is more than a new business. It’s a reflection of Cloquet’s entrepreneurial spirit. It’s about identifying a need, investing in the community, and building something that supports both residents and local businesses.
Troy didn’t wait for someone else to solve the problem. He became the solution.
