AERIAL LIFT GUIDE
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIFT FOR YOUR JOB
TYPE OF AERIAL LIFT
Identify the type of lift your job requires. Aerial
lift equipment describes a broad range of lifts
with varying lift heights, platform capacities and
power options.
We have an extensive collection of
aerial lifts in our rental fleet ready
to take on your next job. Our newer
fleet of rental units are the right
choice for just about any application
- indoors or out, on smooth or rough
surfaces.
LIFT HEIGHT
Identify the maximum working height needed for
your application. To get the maximum working
height, add approximately 6 feet to the listed
platform height to account for the operator.
Ex. a 19’ scissor lift has a working height of 25’.
PLATFORM CAPACITY
How much weight do you need the lift to carry?
If you plan to take tools, equipment or another
person on the lift with you, make sure the platform
or basket can handle the combined weight without
exceeding recommended capacities.
TERRAIN TYPE
What type of surface terrain will you be working
on? We have lifts for smooth surfaces like cement
and blacktop, as well as rough terrain lifts for grass,
gravel and dirt.
POWER SOURCE
Our aerial lifts can be manual (material lifts), battery
powered (electric), gas or diesel power. Typically,
larger equipment like boom lifts have diesel engines.
