Rental Reservations Now Open—Reserve Your Forklifts Now for Summer Harvest

It's time for the yearly Summer Rentals Reminder.

Our rentals fleet has expanded again with the Sierra Industrial acquisition in Las Vegas!

We often run out of rentals before summer hits, so reserve your forklifts, bin dumpers, and necessary attachments now!

Rental Forklift Summer Reservations


What Goes First: The Forklifts in Highest Rental Demand

When it comes to seasonal rentals, we typically see customers rent two forklift types first:

  1. 5,000# and 6,000# IC Pneumatic Forklifts
  2. Electric Pneumatic-Tire Forklifts

Why?

Most versatile.You can use these forklift types in almost any industry, any location.

Right capacity. You don't need a heavy-duty forklift for harvesting...but you do need to move a lot of product over & over. These mid-capacity forklifts do that job reliably.

Good for indoor/outdoor use. For example, driving a bin dumper full of wine grapes out of a field and into a warehouse. Different terrain, but these forklifts handle it with no risk to the operator.

Long shifts. Since most electrics will go 2 shifts on one charge, nobody has to worry about stopping work for a quick-charge.

Good tires. You wouldn't drive a Kalmar into a vineyard—its tires would devastate half the crop! The 5,000-6,000 pneumatics have small, sturdy tires that carry product where it needs to go without slipping or sliding.

Sound like what you'd need for your summer season? Best to make your reservation now, so we'll make sure you have the forklifts available.
