By Deborah Kelly


Finding the right forklift to rent might not be much of a problem. However, it will be difficult to find the right equipment for a particular job. The selection of forklifts is important because different jobs have different requirements. There are various factors to consider when you are looking for a suitable equipment to rent. In consideration of forklift rentals Ontario residents should follow some tips.

One should begin by knowing exactly what kind of equipment they will need. Forklifts come in different sizes and shapes. Besides the traditional-style versions, you will find dealers who have different equipment designed for different applications. You can have forklifts designed for aerial lifts, pallet trucks and walker stalkers. You can also get personal carriers. The most important thing is to know what the project requirements are to know what type will be most suited for it.

It is important to know the length of time for which the rental will be required. Forklift operations offer vehicles on daily, weekly or monthly basis. When you rent for longer, you should expect to pay less as opposed to renting for a short period. In order to increase efficiency, you need to properly organize and plan the workflow so that the equipment is kept running for as long as possible. When you are done using it, you will need to call the rental service provider so that you are not charged for hours when the equipment is not in use.

It is important to consider equipment height and what weight it is able to handle. In order to rent the equipment with the right stability and power which is able to accommodate your needs, it is important to offer detailed information on weight and volume requirements of a project. The rental service provider needs to know the height to which you plan to lift loads. If the lifting is done with equipment of the wrong power, it will not be effective.

You should consider whether the equipment you require will be used outdoors or indoors. When the equipment is to be used in a warehouse, it will be fitted with cushioned tires which are best used on smooth and hard surfaces. The outdoor operated ones have pneumatic tires that enable them to traverse challenging surfaces and terrains.

Renting a forklift also means you need to consider service. Reputable dealers provide service for their forklift rentals. Whenever you have a problem with their equipment during rental period, they will send a technician to handle it. If a replacement is needed, they will organize that by swapping it with another option. Such details should however be spelled clearly in the rental contract.

You need to treat a rented forklift as though it is yours. Dealerships assess the rented equipment after they are returned to check whether there are damages caused. If there are damages, you will most likely be fined. Before you rent equipment, you need to check whether there are damages to it.

Insurance is important. Dealers will usually insure their forklifts but it is up to you to insure your company operators. You should check insurance requirements before renting.
