With flexible rental terms and a large fleet of ready-to-work equipment, you can scale your operation up or down while keeping costs predictable and productivity moving.

  • Short-Term Rentals: Get equipment for a day, week or month to cover temporary needs, unexpected downtime or short-term increases in demand.

  • Long-Term Rentals: Add equipment for extended periods with predictable costs and the flexibility to adapt as your operational needs change.

  • Seasonal Rentals: Scale your fleet during peak seasons, year-end surges and other periods of increased demand without investing in equipment you may not need year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s important to know the weight of what you’re picking up. This way, our rental team can place you with the right forklift truck.

Also, be aware of the dimensions of the products to ensure proper fork attachment length – and remember – a load longer than 48” will reduce the capacity.

Whatever the load, contact us and we can assist you in sizing the right forklift for your application.

Now that you have identified the type of forklift you need and its fork attachment length, there’s only more factor to consider – What is the terrain that the forklift needs to travel over?

Indoor applications with hard surfaces use cushion tires as they are smaller, made of hard rubber compound, and typically more compact and maneuverable.

Outdoor or applications on softer terrain demand pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires are larger and have deeper traction grooves allowing for travel over wet, rougher conditions.

Measure how high the forklift needs to lift – measure in inches, then add 6 inches. Lift trucks are a reliable way to improve products and materials onto a racking system, truck or other storage areas. However, keep in mind that some forklifts might not fit through standard doors or entryways. To be certain, measure doorways (width and height), aisles and any other overhead obstructions.

Also, remember that the forklift will need to turn around – possibly in an aisle. Your application might require a 3-wheel sit-down forklift or a narrow aisle forklift truck.

Preparing yourself with each piece of this information will ensure a job well done by the truck that you rent.

Wolter offers forklift and warehouse equipment rentals for short-term and long-term needs, including electric forklifts, LP forklifts, gas forklifts, narrow aisle forklifts, pallet jacks, reach trucks, order pickers, aerial lifts, and other material handling equipment. Availability varies by location, application, capacity, power type, and rental term.

Forklift rental pricing depends on the type of forklift, lift capacity, power type, tire type, lift height, fork length, attachments, rental duration, and delivery location. Short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and specialty equipment rentals may be priced differently. The fastest way to get accurate pricing is to request a rental quote with your application details.

Yes. Wolter offers flexible forklift and warehouse equipment rentals for short-term projects, seasonal demand, breakdown coverage, facility moves, inventory projects, construction work, and long-term operational needs. Rental availability may vary by equipment type and location.

Wolter provides forklift and warehouse equipment rental support across Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, & South Carolina. Delivery options depend on your location, equipment availability, and rental requirements.

To get the right forklift rental quote, be ready to share the equipment type, rental start date, rental length, power type, tire type, load capacity, maximum clearance height, minimum lift height, fork length, whether you need a walk-behind or rider unit, and any required attachments or special application details.

Choose forklift capacity based on the heaviest load you need to lift, the load dimensions, the lift height, and the required fork length. Loads longer than 48 inches may reduce the forklift’s effective capacity, so it’s important to provide accurate load weight and size when requesting a rental. Wolter’s rental team can help size the right forklift for your application.
