Equipment Rental in Baton Rouge, LA

Forklifts, aerial lifts and compact construction equipment, ready when your job is.

Burwell Material Handling rents from Airline Highway on the southeast side of Baton Rouge, with I-10 and I-12 both a short run away. That puts our fleet inside an easy drive of Prairieville, Gonzales, Denham Springs, Walker, Central, Zachary, Baker, Port Allen, Plaquemine, Geismar, Sorrento and Donaldsonville.

One phone call covers the whole list. Warehouse forklifts, 185-foot boom lifts, telehandlers, mini excavators, floor scrubbers and utility vehicles all come from the same branch, on the same paperwork, with the same service team behind them.

FAQ

What equipment can I rent in Baton Rouge, LA?
Forklifts in Classes 1 through 5 from 3,000 to 55,000 lbs., rough terrain forklifts, telehandlers, scissor lifts, vertical mast lifts, articulating and straight boom lifts up to 185 ft., mini excavators, track loaders, trench rollers, ride-on floor scrubbers, utility terrain vehicles and manual pallet jacks.

Do you deliver to Gonzales, Prairieville and Denham Springs?
Yes. Delivery runs across East and West Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, Iberville and Pointe Coupee parishes. Delivery is quoted with the rental.

Can you support a plant turnaround or shutdown?
Tell us the window when you request the quote. Turnaround schedules move, so the earlier the dates land with the branch, the better the odds the machine you want is on the yard when you need it.

How long can I rent equipment for?
Daily, weekly and monthly terms. Longer projects usually price better on a monthly rate, and we can talk about a purchase if the need turns out to be permanent.

What is the largest forklift you rent?
Class 5 pneumatic tire units reach 55,000 lbs., which covers pipe, steel, precast and heavy machinery work.

What is the tallest lift you rent?
Straight boom lifts reach 185 ft. of working height, with or without a jib. Articulating boom lifts reach 150 ft.

Do I need certification to operate a rented forklift or lift?
Yes. OSHA requires operator training and evaluation for powered industrial trucks under 29 CFR 1910.178(l), and ANSI A92 requires training plus machine-specific familiarization for aerial lifts. We provide familiarization on the unit at delivery. Operator certification remains the employer's responsibility.

Where is your Baton Rouge rental branch?
15151 Airline Hwy, Baton Rouge, LA 70817. Phone (225) 753-5700.

What if the rental equipment breaks down?
Call the branch. Our factory-trained technicians support the rental fleet directly, so you are not routing a service call through a third party.

Do you rent to homeowners or only to businesses?
Contact the branch. Requirements vary by machine class and by insurance, and larger units are generally restricted to trained commercial operators.
