Boom Lift Rentals Across Ontario

NAM Rentals provides boom lift rentals across Ontario for construction, building maintenance, industrial work, electrical projects, HVAC installation and other jobs requiring elevated access with horizontal reach.

Our fleet includes straight boom lifts, articulating boom lifts and towable models for different heights, access conditions and project requirements.

Whether you need a compact lift for lower-level access or a high-reach boom for a large construction site, choose equipment based on working height, horizontal outreach, terrain, platform capacity and jobsite access.

Browse available boom lifts below and compare models, heights and rental rates.

Which Boom Lift Fits Your Job?

Start with how you need to reach the work area.

Project Requirement Boom Lift to Consider
Long, direct reachStraight boom lift
Reach around structures or obstaclesArticulating boom lift
Compact, transportable accessTowable boom lift
High-rise exterior workHigh-reach boom lift
Outdoor constructionSuitable rough-terrain boom
Indoor or low-emission workSuitable electric model

A boom lift is often a better choice than a scissor lift when workers need to travel up and outward, rather than vertically above the machine.

Straight, Articulating or Towable?

Straight Boom Lifts

Straight or telescopic boom lifts provide extended horizontal and vertical reach in a relatively direct line.

They are commonly considered for:

  • Structural construction
  • Steel work
  • Large building exteriors
  • Roofing
  • Industrial maintenance
  • High-access installation work

They are particularly useful when the work area is far from where the machine can be positioned.

Articulating Boom Lifts

Articulating boom lifts use jointed boom sections to help workers reach up, over and around obstacles.

They can be useful around:

  • Buildings
  • Mechanical equipment
  • Structural obstructions
  • Industrial facilities
  • Complex construction areas

Choose an articulating model when access geometry matters as much as maximum height.

Towable Boom Lifts

Towable lifts provide a more compact access option for suitable lower-height applications.

They may be considered for maintenance, signage, lighting, facility work and projects where a large self-propelled boom is unnecessary.

Choose by Reach, Not Height Alone

One of the biggest mistakes when renting a boom lift is choosing equipment only by maximum height.

Before booking, confirm:

Working heightHow high does the platform actually need to reach?
Horizontal outreachHow far must the operator reach away from the machine?
ObstaclesWill the boom need to work around buildings, structures or equipment?
Ground conditionsIs the machine operating on a suitable construction surface?
AccessCan the equipment reach the setup area?
Platform capacityConsider workers, tools and materials.

A slightly shorter articulating lift can sometimes be more useful than a taller straight boom if the work is positioned behind an obstruction.

Boom Lift Rental Rates in Ontario

The cost of a boom lift rental in Ontario depends on the machine, maximum reach, rental duration, power configuration and delivery requirements.

NAM Rentals offers daily, weekly and longer-term rental options across available boom lifts.

Higher-reach machines generally have different transportation and rental requirements than compact or towable models, so compare the complete project requirement rather than price alone.

Review the available equipment above for listed rental rates and request a final quote based on your jobsite.

Boom Lift Delivery Across Ontario

NAM Rentals supports projects across Toronto, the GTA and other Ontario service areas, subject to equipment availability and delivery requirements.

When requesting delivery, provide:

  • Complete jobsite address
  • Required working height
  • Required horizontal reach
  • Expected rental duration
  • Surface and access conditions
  • Preferred delivery date

For larger boom lifts, site access is particularly important. Confirm that the delivery vehicle and equipment can reach the unloading and operating area safely.

When a Boom Lift Makes More Sense Than a Scissor Lift

Both machines provide elevated access, but they solve different problems.

Choose a scissor lift when the work is primarily vertical and a larger platform is useful.

Consider a boom lift when the job requires:

  • Horizontal outreach
  • Access over obstacles
  • Greater positioning flexibility
  • Higher working heights
  • Exterior building access
  • Work around structures

Selecting equipment based on the actual access problem can help avoid unnecessary machine changes after delivery.

More Equipment for Ontario Jobsites

Boom lifts are often used alongside other equipment on larger projects.

NAM Rentals also provides construction equipment rentals including scissor lifts, telehandlers, forklifts, excavators, skid steers and other machines for construction and industrial applications.

This allows contractors to coordinate aerial access, material handling and earthmoving equipment around the requirements of the same project.

Before You Rent a Boom Lift

Have these details ready:

  1. Required working height
  2. Required horizontal reach
  3. Straight or obstructed access
  4. Indoor or outdoor use
  5. Ground conditions
  6. Platform capacity
  7. Rental duration
  8. Jobsite location
  9. Delivery requirements

If you are unsure which model is appropriate, provide the job requirements instead of choosing a machine based only on its listed height.

Boom Lift Rental FAQs

1. How much does it cost to rent a boom lift in Ontario?
Pricing depends on the specific machine, height and outreach, rental duration and delivery requirements. Review listed rates above and request a quote for your project.
2. What is the difference between a straight and articulating boom lift?
A straight boom extends outward in a more direct line and is useful for long reach. An articulating boom has jointed sections that help the platform reach around or over obstacles.
3. When should I rent a towable boom lift?
Towable boom lifts can be useful for suitable lower-height maintenance, signage, lighting and facility work where a larger self-propelled machine is unnecessary.
4. What size boom lift do I need?
Start with the required working height and horizontal outreach. Then consider obstacles, ground conditions, access width, platform capacity and machine setup space.
5. Do you offer boom lift rentals in Toronto?
NAM Rentals provides boom lift rental options for Toronto, the GTA and other Ontario service areas, subject to equipment availability and delivery requirements.
6. Can a boom lift reach over a building or obstacle?
Articulating boom lifts are specifically useful where the platform needs to travel up and around obstacles. The required outreach should be confirmed before selecting a model.
7. What is the difference between a boom lift and a scissor lift?
A scissor lift primarily moves vertically. A boom lift provides vertical and horizontal reach, making it better suited to areas that cannot be accessed directly from below.
8. Are electric boom lifts available?
Electric models may be available for applications where lower emissions and reduced operating noise are useful. Check the current equipment listings for available configurations.
9. Can boom lifts be used on outdoor construction sites?
Many boom lifts are designed for suitable outdoor construction environments, but the specific machine must match the surface, slope and operating conditions of the site.
10. Do boom lift operators need training in Ontario?
Yes. Workers operating elevating work platforms on Ontario construction projects must receive instruction and training for the class of equipment they operate before first use.
11. Is fall protection required on a boom lift in Ontario?
Ontario construction regulations require workers on self-propelled or vehicle-mounted boom-type elevating work platforms to be attached to an adequate anchorage point using an appropriate method of fall protection.
12. Do you deliver boom lifts to jobsites?
Delivery can be arranged based on equipment availability, jobsite location and access requirements. Provide the full address and machine requirements when requesting a quote.
13. Can I rent a boom lift for one day?
Daily rental options may be available depending on the machine. Weekly and longer-term options are also available for projects requiring extended use.
14. What information should I provide when requesting a boom lift quote?
Provide the required height, horizontal reach, obstacles, surface conditions, rental duration, project location and delivery requirements.
