Lifting equipment is not listed for rent in Nashville yet; local owners have not begun adding machines. A contractor can post a request describing the lift, and an owner of forklifts, aerial platforms or hoists can list them without a fee during the launch. The national lifting equipment rental page covers other places.
Hotels, offices and apartment towers downtown and in the Gulch need material hoists, scissor lifts for interiors and boom lifts for facades. Stadium and arena projects bring lifts for seating, lighting and cladding. Music venues and studios use aerial platforms for rigging, and distribution centers along the interstates depend on forklifts and order pickers daily.
Rough-terrain lifts need firm, level ground, and red clay turns to slick mud after spring rain. Use mats or a gravel pad. Wind and lightning limit aerial work, and operators keep an eye on forecasts. Indoor jobs call for electric machines, which avoid exhaust and are quiet for occupied buildings.
Operators need training for the machine class, and fall protection is required on boom lifts. Inspect the machine before every shift, test the emergency lowering controls and read the capacity plate. Ask the owner to supply the manual and the last inspection record.
Give the working height, horizontal reach, load, power type and whether the work is inside or outside. Mention door and elevator sizes, floor load limits and how the machine will be unloaded.
