Why Rent from Burwell in St. Rose

Local branch, not a call center. Ashland is inside the Richmond metro. Equipment, parts and technicians are all here.

Positioned for the river corridor. The branch sits between Louis Armstrong International and the river terminals, so delivery to either side of the parish line is short.

Authorized dealer coverage. Bobcat, Linde, Hyundai Material Handling, Genie, JLG and Combilift.

Service behind the rental. Factory-trained technicians and a parts operation. If a rental unit has a problem, the same branch fixes it.

One source for the whole site. Warehouse forklifts and outdoor lifts on the same contract, from the same branch.

FAQ

What equipment can I rent near New Orleans?
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 into New Orleans and the West Bank?
Yes. Delivery runs across St. Charles, Jefferson, Orleans, St. John the Baptist and Plaquemines parishes. Delivery is quoted with the rental.

How far is the branch from the airport and the port terminals?
St. Rose sits on Airline Highway in St. Charles Parish, between Louis Armstrong International and the river. Most deliveries into Kenner, Elmwood, Destrehan and Norco are a short run.

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 container, bulk, steel and heavy machinery work along the river.

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 St. Rose rental branch?
10299 Airline Hwy, St. Rose, LA 70087. Phone (504) 463-3400.

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.
