Before you book
- Confirm rated capacity (lbs) and load center for your heaviest load.
- Confirm lift height, free-lift requirements, and whether you're working in racking.

- If you need attachments (side shifter, fork positioner, clamps, boom), confirm compatibility and availability.
- Delivery/pickup: confirm lead time, site access constraints, and whether a forklift is needed to unload.
- Operator requirements: confirm training expectations, documentation, and any insurance/damage waiver options.

FAQ
Pricing varies by capacity, fuel type, term (daily/weekly/monthly), delivery distance, and attachments. The fastest way to compare is to request a few quotes with the same specs and term.
Many providers offer delivery and pickup for an added fee. Confirm lead time, access constraints, and whether the site can receive a truck safely (dock height, clear turning radius, gate access, etc.).
Start with your heaviest load (lbs) and load center. Add margin for uneven surfaces, attachments, and lift height. If you're close to a capacity boundary, ask the provider to confirm the rating at your lift height and configuration.
Electric is common for indoor warehouses and docks (quiet, no exhaust). LPG is a flexible option for mixed indoor/outdoor use (check ventilation requirements). Diesel is typically used outdoors and on job sites (higher torque; exhaust considerations).
Have your capacity (lbs), lift height, indoor/outdoor use, rental term, and delivery address ready. Mention aisle widths, ramp/slopes, tire type preferences, and any attachments or fork length requirements.
Most job sites require trained operators and safe operation practices. Providers may ask about operator training, supervision, and site conditions. If you need an operator, ask whether the provider offers operator services or referrals.
