Renting offers construction companies flexibility.

projects

Since different projects require different types and sizes of lifts, having the option to rent allows contractors to match equipment to each job’s specific demands. This reduces the burden of long-term storage, maintenance, and transportation. Additionally, for small-to-mid-sized firms that can’t afford to purchase multiple machines, renting provides access to state-of-the-art equipment without the capital investment.

industries

While many industries use lifts in some capacity, there are five key sectors that benefit the most from rental lift solutions due to the frequency, complexity, and scale of their operations.

organizations

For many organizations, renting a lift is a smart and cost-effective alternative to purchasing. It allows access to specialized equipment without long-term maintenance responsibilities.

storage

Whether it's for construction, maintenance, storage, or event setup, businesses frequently face tasks that require safe and efficient elevation. That's where rental lifts—such as scissor lifts, boom lifts, and vertical mast lifts—come in.

Electric

Furthermore, electric-powered lifts are ideal for indoor warehouse environments. They operate quietly, produce no emissions, and are compact enough to maneuver in narrow aisles. This makes them perfect for use in climate-controlled or product-sensitive areas, such as cold storage or food-grade warehouses.

Facility maintenance

Facility maintenance, especially for large commercial buildings, campuses, and industrial sites, frequently involves tasks that require elevation. From changing light fixtures and cleaning HVAC ducts to inspecting roofs and repairing signage, maintenance teams rely on lifts for both planned upkeep and emergency repairs.

For indoor tasks, vertical mast lifts and compact electric scissor lifts are preferred. These machines can fit through standard doorways, elevators, and narrow hallways, making them ideal for use in office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, and schools. When working outdoors, articulating boom lifts help technicians navigate around landscaping, structures, or signage poles.

Warehousing

In the warehousing and logistics sector, vertical storage is a core element of space optimization. Facilities often use high shelving systems that require lifts to stock, retrieve, or inventory goods. While forklifts are commonly associated with ground-level pallet movement, vertical mast lifts and narrow-aisle scissor lifts play a vital role in reaching upper storage racks—especially in modern fulfillment centers and high-bay warehouses.

Rental lifts are especially valuable during inventory audits, seasonal peaks, or warehouse reorganizations. For instance, a distribution center might not need a lift every day, but during end-of-year inventory or when setting up new storage infrastructure, a lift becomes essential. Renting allows facilities to bring in the right equipment as needed, without disrupting regular operations.

Rental lifts

Rental lifts are particularly useful for property managers overseeing multiple buildings. Instead of maintaining a lift at every location—which would be logistically and financially impractical—they can rent lifts as needed for scheduled work or unexpected issues. This on-demand approach ensures timely service while reducing equipment overhead.

Setting

The events and entertainment industry might not be the first to come to mind when thinking about lift rentals, but it is a sector that depends heavily on them.

Whether setting up for a concert, sporting event, trade show, or film production, teams regularly need to work at height to install lighting rigs, construct stages, hang banners, or operate cameras from elevated platforms.

Rental lifts

Rental lifts provide production crews with the flexibility to adapt to different venues and production requirements. Some events take place in stadiums with massive ceilings; others may be held in theaters or convention centers where space is tight. Depending on the location, the production crew might need an electric scissor lift for indoor lighting work or a boom lift to hang signage on the side of a building.

Because event timelines are often tight and short-term, purchasing equipment makes little sense for most production companies.
