Nothing under lifting equipment is available for rent in Miami at present, since local owners have not listed anything yet. A contractor can post a request describing the lift, and an owner of forklifts, aerial platforms or hoists can list them free while the launch runs. The national page for lifting equipment covers other places.
High-rise construction in Miami is the obvious customer: material hoists on the facade, passenger-and-goods lifts inside the frame, and scissor lifts for interior finishing. Hotels and condo renovations along the beach rely on boom lifts to reach exteriors, and warehouses near the airport run forklifts every day. Marinas and boatyards need lifting too, for engines and heavy equipment.
Aerial lifts have wind limits, and the ocean breeze at upper floors can exceed them quickly. Ask for the wind rating and know that platforms are brought down in a storm. Soft sand and wet ground reduce stability, so slabs or mats are often needed. Operators of aerial lifts and forklifts should hold training for the machine type, and fall protection applies at height.
Summer heat and sudden afternoon storms limit work at height, so crews often start before sunrise to finish aerial tasks early. Rental demand rises before the winter high season, when hotels and condominiums rush to finish renovations, so asking early gives you more choice. In storm season, owners expect lifts to be lowered, stowed and tied down, and they will ask how fast you can return a unit if a warning is issued.
An aerial lift or hoist usually arrives on a flatbed, and a forklift on a trailer. Check the clearance at the gate, the weight limit of the slab and whether a street permit is needed to unload. Parking garages and elevators often cap the machine size, so measure first.
Does the rental include delivery and pickup, inspection documents and a trained operator? Is the unit electric, which suits indoor work, or diesel for outdoor use? What is the working height and the platform capacity at that height?

A telescopic boom lift gives the most outreach, and a hoist suits continuous material flow on a tower.
Yes. Electric scissor lifts avoid exhaust indoors, while diesel rough-terrain models cope with outside ground.
The owner may offer familiarization, but your employer remains responsible for operator qualification.
Often, though check each owner's minimum and weekend rates.
