Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of material handling equipment can I rent?
A: Cat Rentals offers a complete lineup of material handling equipment rentals designed to move heavy or bulky items safely and efficiently. Choose from forklifts, telehandlers, and material handlers on wheels or tracks — all maintained and ready to perform in warehouses, construction sites, and industrial yards.
Q: What capacity forklift should I rent?
A: Select a forklift rental that supports your heaviest load and maximum lift height. Most warehouse operations work best with 5,000–6,000 lb. units, while outdoor or rough-terrain jobs may call for 8,000 lb. or larger models. Your local Cat® dealer can help size the right machine for your job.
Q: When should I rent a telehandler instead of a forklift?
A: A telehandler rental is ideal when you need more reach or height — for example, lifting materials to rooftops, upper floors, or uneven ground. Forklifts perform best on stable, flat surfaces where quick loading and unloading are the priority.
Q: When does renting make the most sense for my business?
A: Renting is a smart choice when you need equipment temporarily — whether to replace a unit in for service, handle seasonal demand, or access the latest technology. A material handling equipment rental gives you flexibility without the costs of ownership, storage, or maintenance.
