Forklift rentals and Forklift Leasing: Forklifts, also called lift trucks, are powered material handling machines used to lift and transport heavy material.

Forklifts have a power operated forked platform in front that can be inserted under loads in order to lift and move them. The forklift was invented in 1917 by a transmission manufacturing company in order to make it easier to move large, heavy, assembled units. In the 1940s, warehouses began to implement new means of storage and needed forklifts and material handling equipment in order to transport heavy material around the warehouse.

Standard Forklifts are available with a variety of fuel and tire types as well as numerous weight capacities, lift heights, and attachment options, such as forklift booms, that allow the forklift to reach greater heights.

The standard forklift is normally used in small businesses or warehouses that utilize a single truck. They normally weigh between 3000 and 4000 lbs and are wide aisle trucks that require at least 11’ to turn. Standard forklifts are used to reach heights around 20 feet.

Warehouse Forklift Rentals & Forklift Leasing

Warehouse Forklift Rentals:  Warehouse forklifts are generally designed for indoor use, although some can be indoor/outdoor when used at at manufacturing centers. They are key in organizing inventory and helping the company operate efficiently. These forklifts produce low emissions, and their engines are designed to run more quietly than other forklifts since they are usually being used indoors.

Warehouse forklift rentals are also slightly smaller than standard forklifts, since they often need to be able to operate and turn in tight areas. Most are equipped with pneumatic tires, which make the forklifts better for indoor use. Warehouse forklifts are used in large stores and warehouses all over the country. They are deployed in manufacturing plants because they are so helpful in transporting merchandise. Whether you need it to organize inventory in a retail store, or to load your products onto a moving truck, a warehouse forklift can prove to be very helpful.

Rough Terrain Forklift Rental & All Terrain Forklifts

Rough Terrain Forklift Rentals:  Rough terrain forklifts are examples of material handling equipment whose characteristic large tires with deep treads allow them to manuever over tricky ground without slipping or sliding.  These material handling lift trucks tend to operate using an internal combustion engine and often run on regular gasoline. Many rough terrain forklift rentals have load capacities up to four thousand pounds. Telescoping booms are a feature available with these vehicles, allowing them to stack materials higher  The telescoping feature gives these industrial machines tremendous flexibility for material handling applications. As a result, rough terrain forklift rentals are typically grouped within two forklift truck categories: The straight mast forklift rental and the reach forklift rental or telehandler.

In addition to functioning well on unpaved surfaces, these all terrain forklifts also work well on paved floors or smooth surfaces. This makes it possible to use one unit to transport materials from an outside working area into a warehouse or other finished space. Whether being used on a construction site to move building materials , or for the various material handling needs within a warehouse or industrial facility, rough terrain forklifts are a staple in the heavy construction equipment rental industry.

Telehandler Rentals, Reach Forklift Rental, & Boom Forklift Trucks

Telehandler Rentals: A telehandler, or telescopic handler, is a type of material handling machine that looks similar to a straight mast forklift, but also possesses some crane-like characteristics. The telescopic boom attachment makes a telehandler the perfect heavy equipment rental vehicle when it comes to high reach material handling applications. The telehandler, commonly referred to as a reach forklift or forklift boom truck, has the ability to extend its load forward and upward from the vehicle. There are many attachments, similar to the standard forklift attachment, which may be added to the end of the boom facilitating various aerial lift and reach purposes.

The most common attachment is the pallet fork, which allows the telehandler to move loads to places that are unreachable for standard straight mast forklifts. Reach forklift rentals are able to perform functions that previously required a crane. Telehandlers are becoming increasing popular in many areas because they are more versitale than cranes, are typically designed to work on rough terrain, and are therefore able to perform the duties of a variety of material handling and heavy construction equipment rental machines.
