United Rentals has the industry's largest fleet of heavy equipment and tools for rent. Our rental inventory features aerial equipment like boom lifts and scissor lifts, forklifts including telehandlers and warehouse forklifts, earthmoving equipment including skid steers, excavators, and more. From power tools and work lights to air compressors and welders, whatever your team needs onsite, we can provide expertly-maintained and inspected equipment where and when you need it. We also offer a wide array of well-maintained used construction equipment for sale from popular manufacturers like Genie, Skytrak and Case.

If you have to rent a lift from these guys be sure to order 2 because at least one of them won't work. You'll end up spending the whole day waiting for a working lift to be delivered.

I needed to rent a generator since we lost power and it wasn't expected to be on for a couple of days. I had no idea what I was doing or how to operate it. The guy I spoke to walked me through the process and answered all my questions respectfully and patiently. After speaking with him, I felt more secure in what I was renting and that the size I was getting was going to meet my needs. Thank you.
