One operator. One remote control. The lifts that used to take a four-person crew. Granite slabs, hurricane-impact glass, AC condensers on raised beach houses. Iron Bay rents Smartlift vacuum lifters anywhere in Florida. We deliver from our Tampa yard, and a real person answers the phone, 7 days a week.
We rent one piece of equipment. The Smartlift SL609 HLE RT, the 1,000 kg-class outdoor unit rated to about 2,200 lb. It's battery-electric, built for jobsite wheels, and runs on a remote with tilt and rotate. It handles the heaviest stone slabs, commercial glass, and oversized panels. We chose to start with one well-maintained unit instead of a half-fleet we couldn't keep clean and current.
Built for stone slabs, ceramic and porcelain wall tile, oversized glass, sheet metal panels, and HVAC condenser placement.

Three steps from your call to keys in hand.
Slab size and weight, jobsite zip, dates. Phone, text, or the form below. We answer 9am to 5pm, every day.
You get an itemized quote. Rental rate, 15% insurance, delivery for your zip. No surprises.
Our driver brings the unit, walks your crew through the controls, hands over the keys, and comes back at the end of the rental. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.
Stone, glass, sheet metal, HVAC. The trades who carry the heavy stuff.
Granite, quartz, porcelain slabs. Lift slabs off the truck, move them through the shop, and set them on the jobsite. No four-person crew needed.
Stone fabricatorsStorefronts, curtain wall, hurricane-impact residential glass, IGUs. One Smartlift replaces a lift crew.
Glaziers and glass companiesACM rainscreen, architectural metal facades, mechanical equipment, and AC condensers landed on wall-mounted slabs at raised beach houses. The fork attachment opens up tight side-yard work where a four-person stairway carry isn't safe.
Sheet metal and HVAC tradesWhen your subs need lift gear and you'd rather rent than coordinate four bodies on a single pick.
General contractorsThe yard is in Tampa. The reach is the whole state. The rates are listed here, in writing, before you ever call.
Our yard is in Tampa Bay. We deliver anywhere in Florida — north to Jacksonville, south to Miami, east coast, west coast, the panhandle.
Delivery is a per-direction fee based on distance tier from Tampa. Most jobs need both a drop-off and a pickup, so total transport is typically 2× the listed tier. We quote your exact zip every time.
See full coverage by cityThe honest comparison. A 4-person crew at $30 an hour costs $120 an hour just in labor. Add the risk of breaking a $1,500 slab or a $4,000 pane, and the risk of a back injury that puts a worker out for weeks. Then compare it to one person, a Smartlift, and a ramp.
~$240 labor for 2 hours, plus ~5% breakage risk on a $1,500 slab. Real cost about $315.
About $30 labor (1 person, 1 hour) on top of your day or week rental.
$6,000 labor plus ~$750 in breakage exposure. About $6,750 for the week.
Week rental $1,625, insurance $244, round-trip delivery $300, and 1-person labor about $300. About $2,469 for the week.
$35,000+ in workers' comp, plus the lost weeks.
Operator works alone with a remote control. No manual lift.
We're new — we don't have our own customer wall yet. Until we do, here's what real Smartlift users have publicly said about the equipment we rent.
"It allows us to be more efficient and safer in the way we install glass — one operator instead of four guys on a panel."
Source: smartlift.com"Real Iron Bay customer stories will live here as our rental work in Florida builds. We're sourcing additional verified public Smartlift case studies to add to this section — we won't fabricate quotes."
Day rate is $625, week $1,625, month $5,200. Insurance adds a flat 15% of the rental subtotal as a separate line. Delivery is a per-direction fee — $150, $300, or $400 by distance tier from our Tampa yard, charged for each direction. We quote your exact zip on every estimate.
Anywhere in Florida. Tampa Bay metro is tier 1, central Florida and the gulf coast are tier 2, and statewide reach (Miami, Jacksonville, Naples, the panhandle) is tier 3.
No — we handle every drop-off and pickup. Smartlifts are expensive, specialized equipment, and our insurance covers them in transit. We'd rather carry that risk than ask a customer to.
No — but they don't need to be. Our delivery driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off, and the unit is intuitive to run. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift. If you'd rather have one of ours operate it, ask and we'll quote.
