Renting TCM Forklift Trucks (pallet jacks)

TCM America, Inc. is a manufacturer of forklift trucks in the USA.  They offer a small specialized line of electric trucks, cushion trucks, pneumatic trucks, and hand pallet trucks with up to a 22,000 lb lift capacity. 

Renting a TCM lift truck can be a great way to supplement your existing material handling equipment for busy seasons in your warehouse.  This can also be a great way to supplement your lift capacity if you have a current forklift truck which has down time due to either scheduled maintenance or unforeseen repair issues. 

You can rent a TCM forklift truck from an authorized TCM dealer or from a third party rental firm.  It is a good idea to compare rates, terms and conditions before you finalize your rental equipment.  Keep in mind that you should always read the fine print to make sure that you fully understand the agreement before you sign and commit to taking the rental unit.  It is always a good idea to take a walk through with the service manager to make sure that any previous damage is notated so that you are not accidentally charged for anything which may have happened to the forklift truck from the previous renter. 

Another important forklift rental tip is to make sure that all of your forklift operators are properly trained, licensed and certified.  If your operator is not properly certified to operate forklift trucks you may have an issue in the case of a potentially expensive accident claim.  Keep in mind it is not only in your financial interest, but it is important for your employees as well as forklift accidents can also cause death as well.

The best part about renting a forklift truck is the fact that you will not have to worry about any of the maintenance, or wear and tear issues. It is the responsibility of the forklift rental company to provide you a machine which has been properly service, hydraulics in good working order, etc.

When you are renting a forklift truck or electric pallet truck it is important to tell the company exactly what you will be using the machine for. The forklift rental company may also ask you important questions such as lift heights, load capacities, etc. If there is something which you need done, you may also need forklift fork extensions and other accessories which the rental firm can provide for you for an additional rental fee.
