Features of Man Lift Rentals

Man lifts are a type of aerial lift. These vertical lifts carry workers to elevated and confined areas to complete project tasks. Each lift’s platform holds one worker. Man lifts can also fit through standard doorways. Because of their compact size, they’re sometimes called a personnel lift.

At MacAllister Rentals, we offer man lift rentals in either electric, self-propelled models or push around lifts with outriggers. These man lifts are different in how they move throughout your work site.

With push-around man lifts, you must move the base yourself between work areas. In a self-propelled lift, batteries provide power to the base so it can move using that power, instead of your team’s. It’s important to note: Your man lift’s base can’t move while elevated as a safety precaution.

Different accessories are available for man lifts to give them the right tools. Options do vary by make and model, but can include:

• Operational warning light
• Work station tray
• Tube caddy
• Security lock
• Narrow platform
• Straddle extension kit

Contractors, as well as various businesses and organizations, like churches or schools, rent a man lift for seasonal maintenance, renovations and other purposes.

Specialty Uses for Renting Personnel Lifts

Personnel lifts are often used in warehouses, indoor construction sites, compact spaces and for maintenance work and renovations. It is common to use man lifts for electrical work above floor levels.

Benefits of Renting a Man Lift?

The main benefit of renting a personnel lift is its maneuverability and ease of transport. Personnel lifts can also be set up by a single person and are light-weight.

People use single man lift rentals for a lot of different tasks, including:

• Periodic maintenance for facilities
• Replacing or cleaning lighting tubes
• Storing and accessing products
• Repairing suspended ceilings

Renting a man lift is an option many businesses, contractors and organizations take advantage of for several reasons, including the following:

• Needing the man lift for seasonal or short-term projects
• Managing a project with a small budget
• Owning a facility with limited equipment storage
• Working in narrow, elevated areas

An organization, like a school, may use a single man lift rental during the summer for upkeep or renovations, for example. Renting instead of owning also benefits them if they’re limited on space or funds for storing and maintaining their lift.

What to Consider When Renting Personnel Lifts

When looking to rent personnel lifts, it’s important to consider the maximum working height. If you need to fit more than one worker in your personnel lift rental, you’ll want to consider the size of the platform.

We inspect every lift before delivery, so you can count on it being ready to perform. If you’d like more information, contact our team or call us at (877) 700-1945 and we’ll answer all your rental questions.
