How To Rent A Straight or Articulating Boom Lift With DOZR

When it comes to boom lift rentals, there are many things you've probably decided or are in the process of deciding. This would include knowing information about how tall of a boom lift you need, the kind of man lift you want, the price you're willing to pay, what brand of boom lift you prefer, and whether you could even rent a towable boom lift. 

Fortunately, you can find all of that in one place by searching for boom lift rentals on DOZR.

Know What Type Of Boom Lift You Need

When you're looking for a man lift rental it's best to go in knowing what you're looking for. This way you're not overwhelmed by options and don't end up with equipment that doesn't perform the tasks you were hoping it would.

First and foremost, make sure a straight boom lift is the right type of aerial lift for your project. Some things to consider when making this decision are if you are working indoors or outdoors, how high you need to reach, whether you need to reach around many obstacles, and how much weight you need to lift.

Scissor lifts are ideal for indoor, lower-level work while boom lifts are capable of reaching much greater heights outdoors but they must carry a lighter load. Straight lifts can extend straight out or up and are best used for work in open spaces or on relatively basic rectangular structures. When dealing with a more cluttered job site and more complex buildings, the wider array of options for movement that come with an articulating lift will fit the project much better than its counterpart. Knowing all of this will help you determine between an articulating boom lift rental, a telescopic boom lift rental, or a scissor lift rental.

The final important aspect to consider when renting this type of equipment is its compatibility with boom lift attachments. A wide range of accessories are offered that can improve the efficiency of different aerial lifts, but they are not compatible with all machines. Attachments to boom lifts can provide value by providing the worker an additional step to get to a hard-to-reach area, providing a place to keep tools/materials, allowing workers to affix themself to the platform with a cable to work outside the lift, and much more.

If you have specific accessories in mind that you'd like to use, always double-check which machines they are compatible with before making your renting decision. With DOZR, you can ask for certain boom lift attachments to be included with your rental.

Choose The Right Brand

A simple Google search of "the best boom lift brands" is all you'll need to quickly discover there are many manufacturers that carry this equipment, and each one has a variety of machines available. Many manufacturers excel in a specific aspect, be it height, maneuverability, or load capacity. Some brands also allow the choice between electric models, which prioritize efficiency and are environmentally friendly, or diesel-powered models, which focus on maximizing power and provide greater reach and capacity.

When choosing your preferred brand of lift, it's important to be aware of the selections of models and unique advantages that each of these trusted brands provides. Read our blog about the best boom lift brands and manufacturers for more.
