If you’ve ever needed to work up high—on a construction site, around the house, or in a warehouse—you know how tricky and time-consuming it can get. That’s where scissor lifts come in. They’re one of the most valuable tools for reaching elevated spots safely and efficiently. And here’s the thing: you don’t need to own one to take advantage of what they can do.
Renting a scissor lift is the smart move for most people, whether you’re a contractor juggling multiple projects or a homeowner tackling a big weekend job. At Rental Supply Inc., we’ve got a fleet of scissor lifts ready when you need them without the hassle or cost of ownership.
Why Rent a Scissor Lift?
Let’s be honest—owning heavy equipment isn’t always practical. Scissor lifts aren’t cheap; when you factor in storage, maintenance, and transport, the costs add up quickly. Renting gives you flexibility, especially if you only need the lift for a short-term job.
Do you need it for a day, a week, a month, or even monthly? No problem. Rent what you need when you need it and return it when you’re done.
One Lift, Endless Uses
Scissor lifts aren’t just for big construction sites. Sure, they’re a staple on commercial builds, but we also rent them to:
- Homeowners replacing siding, painting exteriors, or trimming tall trees
- Facility managers doing maintenance in high places
- Event crews hanging banners or lights
- Warehouse workers need safe access to top racks
They offer a stable, secure platform that gets you where you need to be without the sketchy ladder balancing act.
Choose the Right Lift for the Job
We carry a range of scissor lifts to fit different types of projects:
- Electric scissor lifts – Great for indoor use with a smooth, quiet ride. Perfect for warehouses, gyms, and retail spaces.
- Rough terrain scissor lifts – Built for outdoor work with bigger tires, more power, and the ability to handle uneven ground.
Are you unsure which type you need? Just give us a call or stop by. Our team knows these machines inside and out and can recommend the right model for your job.
Safety Still Comes First
Scissor lifts are designed to keep you secure, but like any equipment, you’ve got to use them right. Here are a few safety tips we always share with renters:
- Inspect before you use it. We maintain our equipment, but it’s still wise to do a quick check—look for leaks, loose rails, or anything unusual.
- Use it on solid ground. Even the best lifts can become unstable on soft or sloped surfaces.
- Stay within weight limits. Don’t overload the platform—know your gear and stay safe.
- Wear a harness if required. Depending on height and site rules, a harness might be a must.
- Watch your surroundings. Keep an eye out for overhead hazards like power lines.
- Stay clear when operating. It’s safest for everyone not on the lift to give it space when moving or elevated.
When you rent from us, we’ll walk you through proper use and ensure you’re good to go before leaving the lot.
Renting = Smart, Simple, Cost-Effective
Owning a scissor lift ties up your money and your storage space. Renting gives you the flexibility to scale up when you need to without the long-term commitment. You get newer, well-maintained equipment and don’t have to worry about upkeep, repairs, or transport.
At Rental Supply Inc., we make it easy. We offer competitive pricing, reliable equipment, and a staff and maintenance crew dedicated to educating you on your best options and maintaining all our equipment to the highest standards.
