Aerial Work Platforms (98)

We offer the largest rental equipment fleet in the world - with an aerial fleet that includes personnel lifts, scissor lifts for indoor or outdoor applications, boom lifts for straight reach jobs, or articulating (knuckle) boom lifts for spots that aren’t easily accessible – all sourced from top-tier equipment manufacturers. Our gas and diesel aerial work platforms are built to navigate difficult outdoor job site terrain, while our electric and propane aerial lifts easily maneuver through indoor environments with clean, fume-free operation.

Whether you’re a service professional doing indoor repairs and maintenance at thirty feet, or a contractor completing a new construction fabrication at 150 feet - we have the aerial lift equipment for rent or for sale to fit your project needs.
