Forklift rentals, serviced out of Carson.

One pallet jack for a week or four trucks for peak season — you're renting from the Big Joe dealer, not a broker with a phone number. Published rates, planned maintenance included, and factory-trained techs in the same corridor you operate in.

Short-term. Long-term. Seasonal. Emergency.

Rentals for every application

When you need equipment without the commitment of ownership, renting gives you room to move. Cover a seasonal surge, bridge a truck that's down, or run a lithium walkie in your own aisles before you commit capital to one. Tap a category to see rates, or open the full rental catalog.

Financing solutions

Rent, lease, or buy?

The right answer depends on how long you need the truck and how predictable the work is. Here's the short version — and we'll tell you straight if renting isn't your best move.

Rent

DAYS TO ~12 MONTHS

Peaks, projects, a truck that's down, or a trial run before you commit. No capital outlay, maintenance included, walk away when the work ends.

Lease

24 – 60 MONTHS

Steady, predictable volume where you want a fixed monthly cost and a refresh at term end. Preserves capital without an open-ended rental line.

Buy

5+ YEARS

Core equipment you'll run hard for years. A long-term ownership option when utilization is high and the application is stable.

Rental FAQ

What does a rental cost?

Our rates are published above — tap any category. They're current as of August 14, 2026, and they cover standard configurations with planned maintenance included. Delivery, pickup, and waiver are quoted separately, and 12+ month or multi-unit rentals get their own pricing.

What counts as a day, a week, or a month?

Eight hours a day, forty a week, one hundred sixty a month. Run the truck harder than that and the extra hours bill as overtime — same standard the rest of the industry uses, we just tell you up front.

Do you service the rental if it breaks down?

Yes, and this is the main reason to rent from us. Planned maintenance is included for the length of the rental, handled by our Carson-local team. A down rental is our problem to fix, not yours to work around. Damage, abuse, and tire wear are billed separately.

Can I rent while I wait for a new truck or a repair?

That's one of the most common reasons people rent. We bridge the gap so your operation keeps moving.

Can a rental turn into a purchase?

Yes — ask about rental-to-own and rental conversion when you inquire. We can structure the acquisition around how the equipment actually earns.

What areas do you deliver to?

Southern California from our Carson base — Torrance, Long Beach, and Lakewood, plus the LA harbor logistics corridor, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Delivery and pickup are quoted by location.

Do I need certified operators?

Yes. OSHA requires operator certification for powered industrial trucks, including rentals. We run operator training and certification if your team needs it.

Can I rent multiple units?

Yes. Multi-unit and 12+ month rentals are priced separately from the rates above — tell us what you need and for how long, and we'll put terms together.
