Lift and crane rental in Irving, TX
Irving is the one DFW market where airspace matters: work near DFW International brings height limits and notification requirements into the planning for any crane or tall boom lift, well before permitting.
We arrange scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, forklifts and cranes across Irving. We don't run a yard in Irving. We match your job to vetted local suppliers and stay on it until the machine is on site.

Irving prices off the statewide band, with no metro adjustment. Sales tax only. The TERP surcharge applies to off-road diesel equipment, so it does not apply to this machine.
Prices are estimates based on published Texas rental rates, not quotes. Your final price depends on availability, delivery distance and how long you keep the machine.
What equipment costs in Irving
We don't publish an Irving-specific rate. Below the five largest Texas metros the rate sampling is too thin to mean anything. One suburb can appear 40% more expensive than the city next to it purely because three machines were listed that week. Irving jobs price off the statewide band, adjusted for haul distance from the nearest yards.

As a worked example, a 26 ft electric scissor lift comes to $340–$500 for a week here. The same machine costs $150–$230 for a single day, which is the clearest illustration of how sharply rental pricing rewards duration: a week is roughly two and a half day rates, and four weeks is roughly five, not the nine that a lot of online cost guides still repeat.
Tax is worth planning for. Texas charges 8.25% sales tax on bare rental, and adds a 1.5% TERP surcharge on off-road diesel equipment rated 50 horsepower or more. An electric scissor lift is taxed at 8.25%; a diesel rough terrain machine can reach 9.75%. Most rental price guides never mention it. How Texas taxes equipment rental sets out both, along with the operator exception.
Irving forklift rental
Warehouse cushion-tire, outdoor pneumatic and rough-terrain forklifts from 5,000 lb up.
Irving forklift rental is one of the most searched equipment terms in Irving, and these are the sizes that actually move. Most people who rent a forklift in Irving take it for a week or more, which is where the rate stops being a day rate. Rates below are the statewide Texas band.

Irving crane rental
Rough-terrain, all-terrain, crawler and tower cranes, bare or operated and maintained.
Cranes are the one category we will not put a day rate on. They are billed by the hour against a minimum, with mobilization charged separately in each direction, and for larger machines bare rental is quoted by the month. Send us the pick, meaning weight, radius and site access, and we come back with a real figure from an Irving-area crane house.
| Size | Day | Week | 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-45 ton rough terrain | Quoted by hand | ||
| 50-75 ton rough terrain | Quoted by hand | ||
| 90-130 ton all terrain | Quoted by hand | ||
| 100-150 ton crawler | Quoted by hand | ||
| Tower crane | Quoted by hand | ||
Statewide Texas band. We don't publish an Irving-specific rate. Below the five largest metros the rate sampling is too thin to mean anything. Rows marked as quoted by hand are billed on a basis a day rate would misrepresent.
Irving boom lift rental
Articulating and telescopic booms from 30 ft to 185 ft, electric and diesel.
Irving boom lift rental is a smaller market than the metro terms, so these are the sizes suppliers covering Irving carry as standard rather than a full catalogue. Quotes for boom lift rental in Irving are written against the specific size, not the category, so the working height matters more than the machine name. Rates below are the statewide Texas band.
| Size | Day | Week | 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-45 ft articulating | $375–$550 | $890–$1,280 | $2,000–$2,900 |
| 45-60 ft articulating | $420–$715 | $1,220–$1,750 | $2,070–$5,200 |
| 60-80 ft articulating | $625–$1,220 | $1,590–$3,000 | $3,000–$7,000 |
| 40-60 ft telescopic | $438–$650 | $1,050–$1,750 | $2,190–$3,080 |
| 60-80 ft telescopic | $625–$1,060 | $1,376–$2,410 | $3,000–$5,950 |

Irving scissor lift rental
Electric slab scissors for finished floors and rough-terrain scissors for open ground.
Irving scissor lift rental is a smaller market than the metro terms, so these are the sizes suppliers covering Irving carry as standard rather than a full catalogue. Irving scissor lift rental is priced ex-yard: delivery is the line that changes most between two otherwise identical quotes. Rates below are the statewide Texas band.
| Size | Day | Week | 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 ft electric | $95–$175 | $230–$500 | $430–$900 |

Irving telehandler rental
Reach forklifts from 5,000 lb to 15,000 lb, with 19 ft to 56 ft of lift height.
Irving telehandler rental is a smaller market than the metro terms, so these are the sizes suppliers covering Irving carry as standard rather than a full catalogue. Most people who rent a telehandler in Irving take it for a week or more, which is where the rate stops being a day rate. Rates below are the statewide Texas band.
| Size | Day | Week | 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 lb / 19 ft | $403–$553 | $1,166–$1,270 | $2,863–$3,028 |

Irving bucket truck rental
Road-legal insulated and non-insulated aerial devices from 35 ft to 75 ft.
We quote bucket truck rental in Irving by hand rather than estimating it. Published rates for these units vary so widely between sources that an on-screen number would be misleading, and because they are road-legal the tax treatment differs too.
| Size | Day | Week | 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 ft | $250–$400 | $750–$1,200 | $2,000–$3,000 |

Irving man lift rental
One-person push-around and personnel lifts from 12 ft to 31 ft for indoor work.
Irving man lift rental is a smaller market than the metro terms, so these are the sizes suppliers covering Irving carry as standard rather than a full catalogue. Quotes for man lift rental in Irving are written against the specific size, not the category, so the working height matters more than the machine name. Rates below are the statewide Texas band.
| Size | Day | Week | 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20-31 ft personnel lift | $175–$235 | $390–$490 | $685–$750 |

Working conditions in Irving
Developed, graded and largely paved. Las Colinas work is podium decks and structured parking, where the load a slab will carry decides the machine more often than the weather does.
North Texas heat and convective wind, with the added wrinkle that airspace restrictions near the airport can matter more to a tall machine than the forecast.
Suppliers haul into Irving on SH 114, I-635 and Loop 12. Distance from the yard is usually the largest single variable in a delivery charge, which is why we ask for the site address rather than just the city.
Measured against search demand across the metro, forklift rental accounts for about 67% of what people in Irving look for, followed by crane rental. That is a reasonable proxy for what the local yards keep on the fleet, and for which class runs short first.
The work driving equipment demand here is corporate offices in Las Colinas and airport-adjacent logistics. That shapes what local yards stock, and it is the reason availability tightens for some classes and not others. See also wind limits and Texas heat and site prep and ground conditions.
Permits and site access in Irving
Airport-adjacent work carries height restrictions and coordination requirements that apply to cranes and tall booms specifically.
If the machine has to sit in the road, on a sidewalk or over a property line, that is a permitting question rather than a rental one, and it is the most common reason a delivery date slips. Tell us where the machine needs to stand and we will flag it before the quote goes out.
What tends to go wrong in Irving
Airport-adjacent work carries height and access restrictions that have nothing to do with the machine. Anything with real reach near the approach paths needs checking before it is booked, not after it is on site.
Big-box distribution absorbs the local telehandler pool, so a telehandler here is more likely than in most markets to be hauled in from outside. Ask about the haul rather than assuming the nearest yard has one standing.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to rent a scissor lift in Irving?
- A 26 ft electric scissor lift runs about $340–$500 for a week in Irving. We don't publish an Irving-specific rate. Below the five largest Texas metros the rate sampling is too thin to mean anything, so we quote the statewide band and adjust for haul distance. Longer hires drop the effective day rate sharply: a week is roughly two and a half day rates, not seven.
Do you have a yard in Irving?
- No. We don't run a yard in Irving. We match your job to vetted local suppliers and stay on it until the machine is on site. That is worth knowing up front, because it means we are quoting the whole local market rather than one company's price list.
What ground conditions should I expect in Irving?
- Developed, graded and largely paved. Las Colinas work is podium decks and structured parking, where the load a slab will carry decides the machine more often than the weather does.
Will weather stop the job in Irving?
- North Texas heat and convective wind, with the added wrinkle that airspace restrictions near the airport can matter more to a tall machine than the forecast. Most platforms have a wind limit around 28 mph, and it applies to the gust rather than the average.
How is equipment rental taxed in Irving?
- Texas charges 8.25% sales tax on bare equipment rental in Irving. On top of that there is a 1.5% TERP surcharge on off-road diesel equipment rated 50 horsepower or more, so an electric scissor lift is taxed at 8.25% and a diesel rough terrain machine can reach 9.75%. Equipment supplied with an operator on a single charge is generally not taxed as a rental at all.
How quickly can you get equipment to an Irving job?
- We come back with a written quote within one business day, naming the supplier. Delivery itself depends on the yard and the machine. Common sizes usually move within a day or two, and anything tall, heavy or specialised needs more notice. Airport-adjacent work carries height restrictions and coordination requirements that apply to cranes and tall booms specifically.
