Why Rent from Bailey?
Renting a forklift from Bailey brings multiple advantages:
- Wide Selection: Our rental fleet includes electric forklifts, internal combustion (LP gas or diesel) models, pallet jacks, reach trucks, and even specialized equipment like rough-terrain lifts or narrow aisle forklifts. Whether you operate on a smooth warehouse floor or in a yard, we have a model to match.
- Top Brands & Quality: As an official dealer for brands like Crown, Cat, Mitsubishi, and more, our rental units are late-model and well-maintained. You get modern features for safety and efficiency, such as ergonomic controls and high-visibility masts, without the commitment of ownership.
- Flexible Terms: Need a lift for a day, a week, or several months? We accommodate. Seasonal peak in Memphis? A one-day event in a Nashville convention center? We provide short-term or long-term rentals tailored to your timeline. And if you’re not sure how long you’ll need it, we can start with a short rental and extend as required, hassle-free.
- Maintenance Included: All Bailey rentals come with full service support. Our technicians handle any maintenance or repairs during your rental term at no extra cost, so you experience zero headaches. If a unit has an issue, we’ll fix it or provide a prompt replacement.
- Fast Delivery: We know downtime is costly. That’s why we pride ourselves on speedy delivery of rental equipment to your site. In fact, we guarantee on-time delivery – if we’re late, your first day is free. With our branches located throughout Tennessee (and nearby regions of Kentucky and Georgia), we’re never far away.
Use Cases for Forklift Rentals
Tennessee businesses rent forklifts for many reasons:
- Seasonal Surges: Retail distribution centers ramping up for the holiday rush in Nashville, or agricultural processors during harvest season, often need extra forklifts to handle the volume. Rentals let you scale your fleet without permanent investment.
- Maintenance & Downtime Coverage: When your own forklift is in the shop for repairs or awaiting a part, a rental keeps your operations moving. Many customers keep Bailey’s number handy for those emergency replacements.
- Try Before You Buy: Considering upgrading to a new electric model or adding a high-capacity lift? Rent one first and see how it fits your operation. It’s a cost-effective way to evaluate equipment in real working conditions.
- Special Projects: Construction projects, inventory counts, or relocation activities might require equipment you don’t normally need. Rather than juggle with suboptimal tools, rent the perfect forklift or aerial lift for the job.
- Budget Management: Rentals can be an operating expense, not a capital expenditure. This can be advantageous for cash flow and accounting. Plus, with maintenance included, costs are predictable.
Local Service You Can Trust
Bailey has been serving Tennessee for decades, so we understand the unique needs here.
