Choosing a Forklift Dealer Versus a Rental House for Your Rental Needs

Forklift rental is a common practice for the manufacturing industry. While partnering with a forklift rental dealer is an option for our customers, we understand ProLift isn’t the only option. Because of the variety of offered equipment, the appeal of using a large rental house is strong.

Renting the Correct Equipment

The primary advantage of using a forklift rental dealer is the assurance that you’re getting the right equipment for the job. A dealer's support team is trained on each forklift model and its ideal applications. When you reach out about rentals, their consultants ask specific questions about your project to help determine the best equipment for your requirements.

Operator Safety

Ensuring you have the correct forklift for your production needs and employee safety is a top priority. If the required forklift is currently rented to another customer, the rental dealer can leverage its partnerships to locate the equipment. At ProLift, the goal is to accurately match equipment to customer needs; if a specific model isn’t available in-house, they’ll source it for you, providing a seamless rental experience. 

As a full-service provider, ProLift also offers safety training courses for rental customers, promoting compliance with federal law and enhancing operator awareness of site hazards.

Dependability

Forklift dealers can assure the quality of their rental equipment, as most of their fleet is sourced from trusted manufacturer partners. For example, as a Toyota dealer, ProLift provides its rental customers with top-rated lift trucks, backed by direct support and the latest product information from the manufacturer. Dealer rental fleets are often newer models, maintained meticulously during and after each rental by certified technicians.

Technician Support

Lastly, technician support from a forklift dealer is available not only near their local branches but throughout every county they service. Rental equipment is secured with specific timelines in mind, and waiting even a day for repairs can disrupt project deadlines. To ensure swift response to rental breakdowns, technicians are strategically positioned to assist nearby customers promptly.
