Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a scissor lift?
Scissor lift rental rates typically range from $120-$500 per day depending on the lift height and type. Electric scissor lifts start around $120/day, while rough terrain models cost $200-$500/day. Weekly and monthly rates offer significant discounts, typically 40-60% off the daily rate.
Do I need a certification to operate a scissor lift?
Yes, OSHA requires that all scissor lift operators be properly trained and certified. We can provide information on certification resources, or you can have a certified operator on your team.
What size scissor lift do I need?
Measure the maximum working height you need to reach and subtract 6 feet for operator height and arm extension to get the platform height needed. Also consider weight capacity, indoor vs. outdoor use, and surface conditions. Our specialists can help you select the right model.
Can I use an electric scissor lift outdoors?
Electric scissor lifts can be used outdoors on firm, level surfaces in good weather. For rough terrain, uneven ground, or challenging outdoor conditions, we recommend a rough terrain scissor lift with diesel power and all-terrain capabilities.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 3-5 days in advance, especially during peak construction season (spring through fall). We maintain a large fleet and can often accommodate last-minute requests. For specialized equipment or long-term rentals, 1-2 weeks notice is ideal.
