How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Scissor Lift?

It's one of the most common questions we hear at All Lift Forklifts & Access Equipment... and we get it! It’s important to start planning and budgeting how and what you want to hire for your upcoming project. At All Lift, we prioritise transparency, and that's why we're happy to chat pricing with you. While we can't give a one-size-fits-all answer upfront, we can shed some light on the factors influencing scissor lift rental rates.

This blog will give you a better idea of what goes into our pricing decisions and clear up any hidden costs you might not be aware of. We'll also explain how All Lift works with you to find the perfect scissor lift for your project at a rate that works for you. Let’s together explore the many considerations that will impact the pricing of a forklift hire!  

SCISSOR LIFT HIRE RATES - WHAT TO CONSIDER?

Rental Duration 

Needing a scissor lift for a quick one-day window cleaning job? How about a month-long construction project? It wouldn't make sense to pay the same rate, right? Typically, scissor lift rentals are priced majorly based on the rental period. However, hiring long-term can help increase your savings rather than multiple short-term hires over a project length. Here’s our breakdown:

• Daily Rates: Ideal for short-term needs, like a weekend project.
• Weekly Rates: A cost efficiency option for projects lasting a week or so. 
• Monthly Rates: Best for extended rentals, offering the most daily savings.

Don't worry if your project timeline isn't set in stone. We understand things can change! At All Lift, we're flexible and can adjust your initial quote to the next tier (daily to weekly or weekly to monthly) if your scissor lift needs extend beyond the original timeframe. This ensures you get the most cost-effective rate for your rental period without stressing about organising and hiring a new forklift. 

Finding the right Scissor Lift for your budget and project needs

Sometimes, people come to us with a general idea of needing a scissor lift, but after discussing their project details, we discover a different machine might be a better fit. Here's why:

• Height range: Do you need to reach a specific platform height for window cleaning or painting? Do you need a scissor lift that can manoeuvre between multiple obstacles? We have scissor lifts with various height and weight capabilities, each with a corresponding rental rate.
• Work Environment: Are you working on a smooth indoor surface or a rough outdoor construction site? Scissor lifts designed for harsh environments may incur a slightly higher rate due to their specialised features.

By understanding your project requirements, our experienced team can recommend the most suitable scissor lift, allowing you to get the functionality you need at a competitive price.

No project is the same, and that's why All Lift offers a wide range of scissor lifts to tackle your specific needs. Whether you’re reaching high ceilings in a warehouse or tackling intricate construction tasks, we've got you covered with our elevated work platforms.

Whatever your needs, it’s important to understand that the model and type of scissor lift you need will impact the cost of your scissor lift hire. When you hire at All Lift, however, you can rest assured that you won’t receive an old, poor-quality forklift that’s clearly on its last legs. We maintain and service all scissor lifts, ensuring they're no older than five years old and operate like brand new. You can also be certain that you are receiving the highest quality stocking trusted scissor lift brands like Genie, Skyjack, and JLG, allowing you to be confident in the equipment's reliability.
