FAQs

What is the difference between working height and platform height?

• Platform height is the total height the base of the equipment cage reaches at its highest point, fully extended. Add the maximum height an operator can reach to the platform height and you have the working height.

What is the OSHA limit for lifting?

• According to osha.gov, OSHA doesn't have a standard maximum weight a person can lift or carry in the working environment. However, OSHA recommends a maximum lift weight of 50 lbs. If the load is more than 50 lbs., the recommendation is that two or more people lift and/or carry the load.

What manufacturers can I expect to find with United Rentals?

• United Rentals rents equipment from top-tier manufacturers in the industry, such as Genie boom lifts, Skyjack vertical lifts, JLG boom lifts.
