Boom Lift Rental Rates in Edmonton: What’s Included & How Pricing Works

When you’re budgeting a boom lift, the sticker price is only part of the story. What’s included, which term you choose, and how the machine will be used on site all affect your total cost.

This guide explains typical ranges in Edmonton, what your rate covers, and the line items that can change the final number—so you can book confidently.

Typical Boom Lift Rental Ranges (Edmonton)

Below are the starting rates from our boom-lift page. Exact pricing depends on availability, term, and site logistics.

Tip: If you’re comparing models, don’t just look at day rates—term length has the biggest impact on your cost per day.

How term length changes your cost per day

Booking by the week or 4-week term usually cuts the per-day cost dramatically versus paying day-by-day.

• Based on the ranges above, a weekly term often reduces the per-day rate by roughly ~55–60% (model-dependent).
  
  
• A 4-week term can reduce the per-day rate by roughly ~65–80% compared with paying 28 individual days.
  
  

What this means in practice:

If your work might run more than 3–4 days, ask for a week. If you’re spanning multiple weeks, price the 4-week term—you’ll usually pay much less per day.

What may be included (or not) when comparing providers

Boom lift rental rates aren’t always as simple as they look on the surface. Many rental companies promote a low daily rate, but the final invoice tells a different story once extras are added. Depending on who you rent from, your quoted rate may or may not cover things like:

• Delivery & pickup – In many cases this is billed separately and depends on distance or site access.
  
  
• Fuel – Lifts are almost always billed “as returned.” If the tank isn’t full, you’ll see a fuel surcharge added.
  
  
• Insurance or damage waiver – Some providers automatically include this, others leave it to your contractor’s policy or add it as a required line item.
  
  
• Environmental or prep fees – Certain companies add flat “shop” or “prep” charges that aren’t obvious when you first call.
  
  
• Cleaning or debris removal – If the lift comes back with mud, concrete splatter, or site debris, some rental houses tack on a cleaning fee.
  
  

The takeaway: always ask “what’s included in the rate?” before you sign. That’s where unexpected costs creep in and where a “cheap” rental can end up costing more.

FAQs: Boom Lift Rental Pricing & Terms

Why do rates vary between companies?

Line items like delivery, fuel, insurance, and cleaning are handled differently. Some providers advertise a low day rate, but add these costs later. Always ask what’s included before you book.

Is delivery included in the rate?

Delivery and pickup are usually quoted separately and depend on distance and site access. In Greater Edmonton, same-day delivery is often available when you book early.

What’s the difference between daily, weekly, and monthly rentals?

Daily rentals are best for quick one-off jobs. Weekly or monthly terms reduce the cost per day and are usually more economical if your project will run longer than a few days.

Do I need to budget for fuel?

Yes. Boom lifts are generally billed “as returned.” To avoid fuel charges, top up before pickup or return.

Are there hidden fees I should watch out for?

Some companies add prep, environmental, or cleaning fees. At Mandel Rentals, your quote is straightforward—machine + rental term + delivery (quoted)—with no hidden extras.
