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.

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.

Industries We Serve With Electric Forklift Trucks in Ottawa & Peterborough

Warehousing & Distribution

Warehouses across Ottawa and Peterborough run electric forklifts for rental units for picking, staging, and truck loading where indoor air quality and noise both matter.

Manufacturing & Production Facilities

Manufacturing floors across Ottawa and Peterborough favour electric units for precise, repeated moves between stations, where emissions and noise from a combustion engine would be a real problem.

Retail & Cold Storage Operations

Retailers and cold storage operations need an electric forklift truck that starts reliably in refrigerated conditions without the cold-start issues combustion engines face.

Construction & Outdoor Job Sites

Outdoor job sites still lean toward propane or diesel for range, but electric units increasingly handle covered or semi-outdoor material moves as battery technology improves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Forklifts

Have questions about renting or buying equipment in Ottawa? Here is what we hear most.

How much does it cost to rent an electric forklift?

Capacity and lift height drive the rate. But no matter the unit, you’ll get a written quote before committing to anything.

Should I rent or buy an electric forklift?

It all depends on how often you would be using it. Renting is a great option for short-term or seasonal jobs, while buying might make more sense if you need to use it daily all over Ottawa and Peterborough. Either way we can help you determine the costs.

How long does an electric forklift battery last on a single charge?

That depends more on usage and charging habits than anything else. Still, most batteries will carry you through a full eight-hour shift when charged the right way.

What maintenance is required for an electric forklift?

Battery upkeep, tire wear checks, hydraulic inspections. That’s the bulk of it. No oil changes, and far less mechanical work overall compared to a combustion engine.

What size electric forklift do I need for my warehouse?

This is determined by your space, aisle width, ceiling height and the weight of what you need to lift. We’d rather walk through your warehouse first and recommend the right fit, whether you’re looking to buy or rent.
