The lift, and its limits.

Questions, answered plainly.

The five we get most often, before you have to ask.

How much does it cost to rent a Smartlift?

Every rental is quoted for the job. Four things move the number: how long you need the unit, the delivery zone by road distance from our Tampa yard, the damage waiver as its own line, and any attachments. Send your jobsite zip and dates. We answer within two hours, 9 to 5, seven days, and quote as soon as we have your job details.

How fast can you deliver in Florida?

Tampa and St. Petersburg get same-day when the unit is on the yard. Every other Florida metro is next-day, subject to availability. Book ahead during hurricane season.

Do I need a licensed operator?

No. There is no license for a Smartlift. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off. Anyone who runs it must be 18 or older and have read the manual. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.

Can I pick the unit up myself?

No. We handle every drop-off and pickup.

Which lift do I need for my job?

The weight of your heaviest piece and how far it has to reach decide it. Up to 1,320 lb with the arm in, or 330 lb at full reach, the SL609 handles it. Heavier than that, and we can source a larger unit for heavier lifts. Send us the weight and we’ll tell you.
