Used Scissor Lift Rentals Near Me in Los Angeles — Or Own It
Typing “used scissor lift rentals near me” from anywhere in Los Angeles County? Here is what those rentals cost over a year, and what it costs instead to own an inspected machine delivered from our LA facility.
Short answer: about a year of renting a 19 ft electric lift in Los Angeles costs roughly what buying one outright costs — and local delivery on a purchase runs 24 to 72 hours with in-house service afterwards.
What renting really costs you
Rental companies quote by branch, by machine size and by date range, so the only number that means anything is the quote in your hand. What rarely shows up in that headline number is everything attached to it — and that is where a rental invoice quietly turns into the price of owning the machine outright.
What is not in the headline rate
Delivery and pickup
Charged both ways and priced by distance from the branch. On a one-week rental this is often 20 to 40 percent of the total invoice.
Damage waiver
Usually offered as a percentage of the rental rate. Declining it normally means providing a certificate of insurance instead.
Environmental or fuel surcharge
A small percentage added to most rental invoices.
Cleaning and damage billing
Scuffed decks, bent rails and flat-spotted tires are billed back at the end of the rental.
Sales tax
Applied to the rental invoice every single month you keep the machine.
Downtime
When the machine you reserved is not on the yard, the job waits. Owning removes the reservation queue entirely.
Why buying wins
When the same electric slab lift keeps showing up on your schedule, repeat rental invoices add up to the cost of the machine — and you still hand it back. Buy an inspected Genie, Skyjack or JLG unit from us and the machine is yours: no reservation queue, no return dates, no damage waivers, and real resale value at the end. Call (877) 777-9291 and we will price the exact machine you keep renting.
Renting also carries delivery both ways, damage waiver, surcharges and tax on every invoice. When you are done with a machine you own, you can sell it — a rental invoice has no resale value.
In stock and deliverable across Southern California
Real photos of the actual machines, inspected and function-tested before they ship. Delivery is quoted to your zip code anywhere in the continental United States.
Why buying from Global Solutions LLC beats another rental invoice
Rental rates keep climbing and never stop. Every month you rent, the money is gone. Buy one of our inspected, function-tested machines and the same money builds an asset you control, use on every job, and can sell later.
The rent stops for good
Most of our customers pass the break-even point in well under a year. After that the machine works for free while renters keep paying every month.
The machine is always yours
No branch shortages, no waiting on availability, no returning it mid-job. Your lift is on your yard and ready the morning you need it.
Priced below dealer retail
We buy well and sell direct, so our asking prices sit under typical dealer retail on comparable Genie, Skyjack and JLG units.
Inspected and job-ready
Every unit is inspected, function-tested and photographed as it actually sits. What you see in the listing is the exact machine that ships.
Financing that beats monthly rent
Approved monthly payments are frequently lower than what one month of renting the same size machine costs — and at the end you own it.
Delivered nationwide
Freight quoted to your zip code anywhere in the continental U.S., with 24–72 hour delivery across Southern California.
Renting still makes sense for a true one-off — a single week, or a specialty size you will never touch again. Anything beyond that and owning is simply the cheaper way to work. Call (877) 777-9291 and we will run the numbers on your exact size and usage.
Delivery, service and training in Southern California
Machines ship from our Los Angeles facility, normally reaching jobsites across LA County, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura within 24 to 72 hours. We walk your crew through the controls at drop-off, and our own repair teams cover Los Angeles and Orange County afterwards, so parts, annual inspections and operator training all come from the same place you bought the machine. Outside the region, we deliver anywhere in the continental United States with freight quoted to your zip code.
Common questions
What does a scissor lift rent for in Los Angeles?
Rates are quoted per branch, and Los Angeles is a high-demand market, so ask your supplier for a current quote. We can quote the outright purchase price of the same class of machine with 24 to 72 hour local delivery.
Why is buying attractive in Los Angeles specifically?
Traffic and distance make delivery expensive here, and delivery is charged both ways on every rental. If your crews work across LA County, keeping your own machine removes a freight charge from every mobilisation.
How fast can you deliver a purchased lift in Southern California?
Usually within 24 to 72 hours to Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, San Diego and Ventura. We ship from our Los Angeles facility.
Do you service the machine after the sale?
Yes. We run our own aerial lift repair crews across Los Angeles and Orange County, stock parts and provide operator training.
Can I trade in or sell you my current machine?
Yes. Call or text with the make, model, year and hours and we will make an offer or apply it against a machine in stock.
Do you rent lifts in Los Angeles?
No, we sell them. If a short rental is genuinely the better answer for your job, we will say so.
