Scissor Lift Rental & Boom Lift Rentals

What Are Scissor Lift Rentals?

Scissor lift rentals provide safe, stable access to elevated work areas where ladders and scaffolding aren’t practical. These aerial work platforms use a crisscrossing scissor mechanism to lift straight up, giving crews a solid platform for both workers and materials. Contractors rely on scissor lifts for ceiling installations, lighting retrofits, HVAC maintenance, and warehouse operations where vertical reach is needed in tight or enclosed spaces. With predictable movement and strong load capacity, scissor lifts make overhead work faster, safer and more efficient, especially on projects that require frequent repositioning without sacrificing stability.

What Are the Different Types of Lift Rentals?

Different projects call for different access solutions, which is why we offer a focused range of lift rentals – from boom lift rental to aerial lift rental – designed to match real working conditions on commercial and construction sites.

• Electric scissor lifts: Battery-powered lifts built for indoor environments. Quiet operation and zero emissions make them ideal for warehouses, retail installs, and office maintenance. Platform heights range from 19’–40′.
• Rough terrain scissor lifts: Gas or diesel-powered lifts with oversized tires for outdoor jobsites and uneven ground. Platform heights from 26’–50′ make them well-suited for active construction zones.
• Articulating boom lifts: Multi-jointed arms extend up and over obstacles, making them perfect for accessing tight or obstructed areas. Platform heights range from 30’–86′.
• Telescopic Boom Lifts: Straight-boom lifts built for maximum horizontal and vertical reach. Commonly used for high-elevation work like building façades and signage, with platform heights from 40’–185′.

Benefits of Renting Lifts

Renting lifts gives contractors the flexibility to work at height without the long-term costs or responsibilities of ownership. At Duralec, we focus on making access equipment simple, reliable, and ready when your project needs it. Here are just a few of the benefits of our lift rental service:

• Cost-effective: Avoid large upfront investment in purchasing equipment
• No maintenance: Servicing, inspections, and repairs are fully handled
• Flexible duration: Rent by the day, week, or month to match project timelines
• Latest equipment: Access modern, well-maintained machines
• Right tool for job: Choose the exact lift type required for each application
• No storage required: Return equipment as soon as the job is complete
• Professional support: Technical guidance and operator support available

For projects that demand safe access without unnecessary overhead, lift rentals keep crews productive, budgets controlled, and schedules on track. We’ve got your back, no-matter the challenge.

How Much to Rent a Scissor Lift for a Day or a Week?

Lift rental pricing depends on the type of equipment you need, how high you’re working, and how long the lift will be on site. At Duralec, we offer flexible daily, weekly, and monthly rental options so you’re only paying for what your project actually requires.

Electric scissor lifts for indoor use are typically more cost-effective than rough-terrain models, while articulating boom lifts carry higher rates due to their extended reach and access capabilities. For longer jobs, weekly and monthly rentals deliver better overall value. Our team can walk you through current pricing, availability, and delivery options to make sure you’re using the right lift at the right rate without overpaying.

How Do You Operate a Scissor Lift?

Operating a scissor lift isn’t complicated, but it does demand focus, training, and respect for the equipment. At Duralec, we want every crew going up to come back down safely, every time. That starts with doing the basics right.

• Pre-operation inspection: Check controls, guardrails, tires, and battery or fuel levels before use
• Platform setup: Confirm the lift is on stable, level ground before raising the platform
• Controls: Use hand or foot controls to raise and lower the platform vertically
• Movement: Drive slowly when elevated and lower the platform before traveling longer distances
• Safety: Stay within rated capacity, maintain three points of contact, and use fall protection when required

OSHA requires proper operator training before use, and most rental providers offer orientation or certification support. Follow the guidelines, respect the limits, and scissor lifts remain one of the safest, most efficient ways to work at height.

Maximum Reach of Rental Lifts

Choosing the right lift starts with understanding how high you actually need to work, not just how tall the machine looks on paper. Different lift types are built for different reach requirements, and selecting the right one keeps crews safe and jobs moving.

• Electric Scissor Lifts: 19’–40’ platform height, roughly 26’–46’ working height
• Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts: 26’–50’ platform height, about 32’–56’ working height
• Articulating Boom Lifts: 30’–86’ platform height, reaching up to 92’ working height
• Telescopic Boom Lifts: 40’–185’ platform height, reaching up to 191’ working height

Working height is calculated by adding approximately 6 feet to the platform height to account for average operator reach. Always choose equipment based on required working height and access conditions. If you’re unsure, our team can help match the right lift to your application before it ever arrives on site.

Why Choose Rental Lifts from Duralec?

Contractors rent from Duralec because we understand the realities of the jobsite. When access equipment shows up late, isn’t the right spec, or hasn’t been maintained properly, it costs time, money, and momentum. Our lift rentals are selected, inspected, and prepared with working crews in mind, so what arrives on site is ready to perform from the moment it’s unloaded.

We keep the process straightforward. Our team helps you choose the right lift for the work, not just what’s available, and we’re upfront about availability, delivery, and timelines. That means fewer surprises and fewer delays once the project is underway.

Because we already support contractors with lighting, power, and accessories, we understand how access equipment fits into the bigger picture of an installation.

When you rent from Duralec, you’re working with a partner who values reliability, clear communication, and getting the job done right the first time.The benefits of setting up a Commercial Account are significant, and you can sign up in a matter of minutes.
