Lifting Equipment and Aerial Work Platforms:  If your company has above ground maintenance or construction work exceeding a ladder's reach, an aerial lift rental is the type of heavy equipment for the job. Consisting of a platform with guardrails that can lift one or more people to heights up to 100 feet, aerial lift rentals are commonly used to maintain facilities and complete construction projects ranging from factories to shopping malls. Various aerial lift rentals are available including boom lifts, scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts, towable lifts, rough terrain lifts, bucket trucks, and push around man lifts. All lift rentals provide an aerial work platform, allowing one to perform high reach construction applications.

Different types of aerial lifts have combinations of features designed to meet the demands and specific needs of any kind of high reach construction task. Lifts can be electric-power or fuel-powered. Depending on the application one type may be better suited for a job than another. When deciding between electric-powered or fuel-powered lifts, it’s important to consider where the work will be conducted. If the job is indoors, one should probably choose an electric-powered lift rental to avoid the noxious fumes. Additionally when working inside, on level ground, it is often best to rent a lift that has "on-slab applications", offers a compact design, and has articulating functionality. This ensures one is able to elevate an aerial work platform in congested areas or narrow aisles, where tight turn radiuses are necessary and awkward positioning may be needed.

On the other hand, aerial lifts for outdoor applications need to be able to handle variations in ground terrain. Rough terrain boom lift rentals and scissor lift models, used for outdoor construction projects requiring high reach, offer a range of power systems including diesel fuel, gasoline, and dual fuel, which is a combination of propane and gas.

Lift Rental, Boom Lift Rentals, & Articulating Boom Lifts

Boom Lift Rentals and Articulating Boom Lifts:  Boom lifts, also called man lifts and cherry pickers, are types of construction equipment that create an aerial work platform. A boom lift includes a platform that can be raised and lowered to a number of different heights. As such, this makes boom lift rentals an important tool in a number of different professions. A lift rental enables companies and contractors to accomplish electrical or construction tasks in a wide range of circumstances requiring high reach applications. These heavy construction lifts come in several different types, including articulated, telescope, and articulated-telescopic. A telescopic boom lift offers maximum reach by extending its mast to the desired height.

When a boom lift has a mast that can unhinge at the joint points to extend its reach it is called an articulating boom lift. Articulating Boom Lifts are perfect for use when needing to work on an aerial construction projects in tight or awkward to reach places. An advantage to using either an articulated or telescopic boom lift is that one can navigate around obstacles. The same cannot be said of a scissor lift rental which only has the capacity to move vertically. Projects that require significant reach capability will be best suited for a telescopic boom lift with either a straight or stick boom. The machine allows a full 360 degree rotation of its turntable. The boom platform will remain horizontal while it is extended, and can be lowered and raised from vertical to below horizontal. The boom operator can steer the boom lift from the work platform, as well as move the boom forward and backward. This is possible even with the boom extended. In addition, many straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts are built to move over rough terrain.

Scissor Lift Rentals, Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts, & Aerial Work Platforms

Scissor lift rentals:  Scissor lifts are aerial work platforms, used to lift workers to heights that wouldn't be accessible otherwise. A scissor lift is attached to a moving piece of equipment and has a large work station, known as a scissor lift table, that allows users plenty of working room and a place to hold equipment. Many scissor lift rentals do not reach as high as a boom lift; sacrificing height for a larger work station. Like many boom lift rentals, there are a variety of rough terrain scissor lift rental models built to move over uneven terrain allowing them to be used outdoors under a variety of construction site ground conditions.  Most scissor lifts designed for outdoor use are fuel driven and are often called gas scissor lifts. The electric scissor lift runs on rechargeable batteries and is a commonly used in warehouses because they can fit through tight aisles, reach over equipment, and onto high shelves. Even when fully elevated, an electric scissor lift rental can be driven and moved throughout a warehouse.

Lift Truck Rentals, Bucket Trucks, & Boom Truck Rental

Lift Truck Rentals and Bucket Truck Rental:  Lift trucks, boom trucks, and/or bucket trucks are also referred to as 'cherry pickers' because these machines were first used in orchards to pick cherries and a wide variety of other fruits. However, these days one will also see high voltage electrical workers and telephone maintenance workers using them. This is due to the fact that the buckets and the operator are better insulated as a result of the grounding effect provided by a lift truck's rubber tires. Lift trucks, like most types of aerial lift equipment, are used for lifting and lowering workers into places too tall for ladders. While bucket truck rentals are used for many different purposes,  they are most commonly used by power linemen. By using this type of equipment, workers can complete their tasks in a comfortable, safe, and efficient manner. The design of the bucket truck includes a storage bin that is perfect for holding tools and materials needed by the construction worker. Lift trucks and bucket trucks come in different sizes and offer a variety of design features such as single or double-arm booms & hydraulic outrigger jacks, which provides extra stability.  Some bucket trucks provide power to their boom lifts from the actual truck engine, while others use an auxiliary engine to operate the boom.

Towable Boom Lift Rentals & Towable Articulating Boom Lifts

Towable Boom Lift Rentals and Towable Articulating Boom Lifts: The towable boom lift is unable to be driven like other aerial lift models. Towable aerial lifts must be towed behind a truck. The towable boom lift is powered by either a rechargeable battery or a gasoline engine. Although the boom lift isn't as mobile as the other varieties, it does have a high boom that rotates 360 degrees, making it easy to reach a variety of areas once elevated. A towable aerial lift rental is a piece of machinery that is used to lift workers in order to reach stationary construction projects. Towable boom lifts are also referred to as trailer mounted boom lifts. The most common design involves a bucket or platform that is connected to the end of a hydraulic system for lifting. Towable boom lifts are a commonly rented aerial lift platform since they are easily transported, require minimal set up time, and offer self leveling features. They are often rented by home owners and used by construction companies for stationary high reach applications. Additionally trailer mounted boom lifts usually require less maintenance and upkeep since they do not have a drive train or engine, making them a very reliable lift rental. The lifting arms that support the bucket often have built in safety controls keeping it stable and preventing it from tipping over.  The articulating boom lift rentals are perhaps the most versatile of all the boom lifts. This is the case with articulating towable boom lift rentals as they allow users to work at significant heights, manuever when fully extended, and rotate a full 360 degrees in every direction.

Pusharound Lift Rental & Man Lift Rentals

Man Lift Rental and Pusharound Lift Rentals:  A push around lift is a one-man lift that is easily portable, quick to setup and simple to operate for construction and maintenance jobs. Narrow width allows these lifts to pass through a standard doorway and the "X" placement of outriggers will fit tight work areas. A manual safety descent lever brings one down in the event of power failure. Most pusharound man lift rentals can reach about 25 feet and hold up to 350 lbs.
