Denver currently has no lifting equipment listed for rent. If you need forklifts, aerial lifts or hoists, post a request; if you own such gear, list it for free. Lifts in other cities are on the national lifting equipment rental page.
Distribution centers around the airport and in Aurora keep stocking racks and loading docks, which calls for forklifts and reach trucks. Office and hotel renovations downtown need scissor lifts for ceilings and ductwork. Sports venues and concert halls change over repeatedly, so rigging and hoists are always required for stage and lighting rigs. Brewery and food plants add tanks and conveyors that must be lifted into place.
Describe the load, the height and the floor. Outdoors in cold months, battery lifts slow down, so engine-driven units may be better. Indoors on finished floors, ask for non-marking tires and check slab limits. At altitude, engine-powered lifts lose some output, which matters for the heaviest rated loads.
Ice on loading yards and snowy ramps make travel risky. Gloves and cold-weather gear change how a platform operator moves, and extreme cold can affect hydraulic fluid. Training must be current for every operator, and inspection tags should be clear. Confirm sales tax is its own line on the quote.
Write down who stands where, how the load travels from the truck to its place, and what happens if the weather turns. Keep bystanders out from under suspended loads, and never go beyond the rated capacity on the data plate. A competent rigger can help with slings and shackles when hoists attach to building steel.
