FAQs for Forklift Rental

What are the alternatives to using a forklift?

At Thompson Lift Truck, we offer a wide range of alternatives including electric pallet jacks, walk-behind stackers, and reach trucks for warehouse use. For specialized jobs, we also provide Combilift and sideloader forklifts designed to handle long or bulky loads in narrow spaces.

How much does a forklift cost per hour?

Thompson Lift Truck structures our rentals by the day, week, or month, as hourly rentals are typically not cost-effective. Contact us for a quote, as our daily rates provide a much better value for an 8-hour workday.

How much is it to hire a forklift for a week?

Weekly rental rates provide significant savings over daily rates and will vary based on the forklift’s capacity, fuel type, and features.
