Forklift rental in NYC is simple when you know your load. American Tool Rental delivers Yale and Toyota forklifts from Brooklyn to all five boroughs. Call 718-344-1474 or request a quote to check availability.
Which forklift do you need?
Capacity is the first choice. Then think about where the truck will work, because mast height and fuel type matter for indoor and outdoor jobs.
- Light loads: the Yale GC030 lifts 2,450 lb and is built for warehouse work.
- Mid-range loads: the Yale GC050 lifts 4,750 lb. The Toyota 8FGU25 lifts 5,000 lb, runs on gas or LPG and has a triple stage mast.
- Heavy loads: the Yale GLP080 lifts 8,000 lb for medium to heavy duty indoor and outdoor use.
What to tell us before delivery
- The weight and size of the heaviest load.
- The lift height you need.
- Whether you work indoors, outdoors or both.
- The surface, since forklifts need firm, level ground.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know what capacity I need?
Use the weight of your heaviest load, then add a safety margin. Tell us the load and lift height and we will suggest a model.
Can I rent a forklift for a few days?
Yes. We rent by the day, week or month.
Do I need a rough terrain machine?
If you work on soft or uneven ground, a telehandler may be better. See our Lull and telehandler rentals.
