Best Places to Rent Forklifts – Recommendations?

[Mr.PeterJ]

Hey everyone,
I’m looking to rent a forklift for an upcoming project and want to make sure I’m getting the best deal. Where do you usually rent forklifts from, and what should I look out for when choosing a rental company?

Some specific questions:
Are there national rental chains that offer better rates or service?

• Do local rental companies tend to have better deals?
• What’s the typical cost range for short-term vs. long-term rentals?
• Any must-know tips to avoid hidden fees or get the best value?

Would love to hear your experiences and recommendations! Thanks in advance.

Good question! I’ve rented forklifts a few times, and I’ve noticed that local rental companies sometimes have better deals, especially if you negotiate a bit. National chains like Sunbelt or United Rentals are solid for reliability and availability, but they can be pricier. One thing to watch out for is delivery fees—they can add up fast! Anyone have tips on getting the best rates for long-term rentals?
