Rentals
Large forklift rentals
Large-forklift rentals can fit projects, temporary capacity needs, outages and demand spikes. We do not operate a rental fleet; this is independent guidance on specifying and comparing commercial rental equipment.
What drives a rental rate
| Factor | What to expect | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Machine class | Higher capacity and specialized configurations generally cost more | Rated capacity, not just model name |
| Duration | Weekly and four-week rates lower the daily cost | Break-even point between day and week rates |
| Attachments | Attachments and specialized fork packages may be priced separately | Whether a bucket is included |
| Delivery | Usually a separate round-trip charge | Delivery window and after-hours return policy |
| Damage waiver | Optional coverage or proof of your own insurance | What the waiver excludes |
| Fuel and hours | Return-fuel policy and hour allowances apply | Included hours per day or week |
| Season | Specialized fleet availability varies by market and project demand | Lead time for the required capacity and configuration |
Inspect before you sign
- Photograph the machine from all sides before it leaves the yard.
- Inspect tires, wheels, forks, mast and carriage for visible damage.
- Look for hydraulic leaks at hoses, cylinders, valves and attachment connections.
- Confirm forks and attachments are correctly installed and rated for the application.
- Test lift, tilt, side shift and any hydraulic attachment functions.
- Note hour meter reading and fuel level on the contract.
