Where to Rent Lifters and Unloaders in Chicago

04/30/2009 12:40 AM

Lifting and unloading? skid steer / forklift / telehandler .. where to rent?

What might be a good place to rent one of these for the day or less.. or more?

I like the small rough terrain units that can lift ~5,550lb

they don't have them at the local hardware store

Chicago area of course

Give one of United Rental locations in your area a call. If they don't have it they should know who does.

How about wasting our time with an intelligent question.

Google produced a bazillion answers to your lame question.

There's no need for that!

You might need a lame question answering very soon!

the topic line is perfectly clear.

I'm not asking for brains.

I have companies that I would and would not recommend for particular services.

In that thinking..

When you have a couple flatbeds or just a train car of heavy pallet stacked material arriving from far off lands and you need to coordinate the details of a very complex delivery over very rough terrain?.. it really doesn't hurt to asks for suggestions.

Thanks
