Does your operation sometimes face a material handling challenge that goes beyond the capabilities of a standard forklift? Whether you have an oversized load, a high-density warehouse layout or a unique industrial environment, you need a specific, powerful and reliable piece of equipment that can do the job safely and efficiently. The right specialty forklifts for rent can ensure you have the equipment you require at your jobsite.
Our Fleet of Specialty Forklift Rentals
At Burns Industrial Equipment, we offer a diverse fleet of specialized forklifts to meet any demand. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for complex applications, and while we maintain a full inventory of conventional forklift rentals, our specialty fleet can manage your most difficult tasks.
High-Capacity and Heavy-Duty Forklifts
Our high-capacity forklift rentals deliver the power you need for the heaviest jobs. These robust lifts can transport and elevate extreme weights, making them essential for machinery rigging, industrial manufacturing and moving large-scale materials. With the demand for versatile strength on the rise, our fleet includes models in the crucial 5- to 15-ton capacity range and beyond.
Articulating and Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Modern warehouses are designed for maximum density, and our articulating and narrow aisle forklift models can navigate them flawlessly. Brands like Bendi and Drexel excel in tight spaces, allowing you to maneuver in aisles that are inaccessible to standard forklifts. This capability is critical as warehouse automation steadily advances and efficient space utilization becomes a top priority.
Multidirectional and Sideloading Forklifts
Handling long, bulky or awkward loads presents a significant safety and efficiency challenge. Our multidirectional and sideloader forklifts, including versatile Combilift models, are the solution. These innovative machines combine the features of a counterbalanced forklift, sideloader and VNA truck in one, allowing you to move pipes, lumber and other oversized materials through standard doorways and tight corridors with ease.
Compact Electric Forklifts
When you need lifting power in an extremely confined area, our compact electric forklifts from brands like Mariotti are an excellent choice. These machines offer impressive performance in a small footprint, making them ideal for navigating tight corners and crowded indoor spaces where emissions and noise are a concern.
Key Specialty Rental Applications
Understanding the right tool for the job is the first step to a successful project. Our specialty rentals perform well in specific scenarios where standard equipment falls short.
Solving Heavy Lifting and Rigging Challenges
Industrial and construction environments frequently require moving objects weighing several tons. A specialty forklift rental with a high lift capacity is essential for safely handling everything from heavy machinery and industrial components to steel beams and prefabricated structures, keeping your project on schedule.
Optimizing Warehouse and Distribution Center Layouts
For warehouse and logistics managers, space is money. An articulating narrow aisle forklift allows you to design your facility with higher-density pallet racking, effectively increasing your storage capacity without the cost and disruption of physical expansion.
Maneuvering Long, Bulky or Uniquely Shaped Loads
Operations in industries like lumber, pipe distribution and furniture manufacturing depend on the ability to safely transport long or unwieldy materials. A multidirectional specialty forklift rental simplifies this process, improving safety and reducing handling time.
