What types of construction equipment can I rent?

We offer scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, and aerial work platforms for both indoor and outdoor applications. Not sure what you need? Call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

What should I consider before renting or buying construction equipment?

Think about your load requirements, working height, site conditions, and how often you’ll need the equipment. Our team conducts this assessment every day. We can help you determine in minutes whether renting or owning makes more financial sense for your situation.

How does the rental or purchase process work?

It’s straightforward either way. Contact us, tell us about your project and timeline, and we’ll recommend the right equipment, confirm availability, and arrange delivery or pickup. Whether you’re renting for a week or buying outright, most customers are sorted out in a single call.

How do I rent or purchase a lift truck for my project?

Call our Ottawa office or fill out our contact form. Share your load requirements, project length, and site details, and we’ll walk you through your rental and purchase options. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get equipment to your site.

Do you offer both short-term rentals and outright sales?

Yes, and we mean it when we say flexible. Whether you need a lift truck for one day, six months, or want to own one permanently, we’ll build a solution around your actual needs. Reach out today, and let’s get started.

Why Choose Us for Material Handling Equipment in Ottawa & Peterborough

Rarely does an Ottawa or Peterborough business need just one type of equipment. A warehouse running forklifts today might need a scissor lift next month, and a pallet jack every single day in between. Material handling equipment covers it all under one roof.

AMB Lift has supplied material handling equipment for sale and rental across Eastern Ontario since 1990, covering everything from daily-use pallet jacks to specialized truck-mounted forklifts. Both our rental program and sales inventory draw on our team’s over 50 years of combined hands-on experience in the industry.

OUR TRUSTED BADGES

Choose the Right Rental Plan for Your Business

Daily & Weekly Rentals for Short-Term Project Needs

Buying rarely makes sense for a short-term project or a seasonal spike. Daily and weekly rental terms keep your costs tied to actual usage, whether you’re working in Ottawa or Peterborough.

Monthly Rentals for Long-Term Ongoing Operations

Ongoing operations often save money by buying or committing to a monthly term instead of paying daily rates indefinitely.

Electric, Propane & Diesel Lift Trucks Available for Rent

Electric, propane, and diesel options are all available for rent, matched to whether the work happens indoors, outdoors, or both.

Buying vs Renting Material Handling Equipment, Which Is Right for You?

If your equipment gets daily, year-round use, buying is likely the smarter investment. If you have short-term projects, seasonal peaks or want to test a model before you commit, then renting is the better choice. Whichever direction you’re leaning, our team can go through the numbers with you to help you decide.
