A 60 ft boom lift rents for roughly $450 to $750 a day and $1,300 to $2,200 a week, with a month landing near three weeks. Rough terrain diesel machines sit at the top of that band and electric articulating units near the bottom. Transport is quoted separately and charged in both directions.
The day, week and month ladder
Yards price a week at about three to four day rates and a month at roughly three weeks, so any job of four days or more is nearly always cheaper booked as a week. At this height the minimum hire is often longer than a day anyway, because transport makes a single day uneconomic for the yard as much as for you.
What moves the number
Diesel rough terrain machines with four wheel drive cost more than electric ones and are the only option on unmade ground. Straight telescopic and articulating booms of the same height price close together, with the articulating machine slightly higher. Age and specification matter too, and a newer unit with a jib carries a premium.
Transport is the second line
A machine this size needs a lowboy or a heavy tilt trailer and a driver with room to get in and out of your site. Budget $150 to $400 each way in most metros, and more where the nearest aerial fleet is a long drive. Confirm the delivery vehicle can turn around before it is dispatched.
Ask for the delivered total, not the rate
Damage waiver, environmental or recovery fees and fuel are separate lines on the quote, and none is inside the headline day rate. Ask for a written total for the full hire period, delivered and collected. Two yards quoting the same machine often differ by more on those lines than on the rate itself.
Questions people ask about 60 ft boom lift rental price
How much is a 60 ft boom lift for a week?
Roughly $1,300 to $2,200 for the machine, depending on whether it is electric or rough terrain diesel, plus transport each way and any waiver or fuel lines. Ask for the delivered total rather than the day rate.
What does a 60 ft boom lift actually reach?
About 60 feet of platform height, so a person in the basket works close to 66 feet, with horizontal outreach commonly in the 40 to 50 foot region depending on the model. Outreach falls away as the platform rises.
Is a telehandler with a platform cheaper?
It is a different machine with different rules and it is no substitute where the work needs a boom to articulate. Where both would fit, price them together, because what the yard has free often decides which one you get.
Do I need a permit to put one on the street?
In most cities yes, if the machine or its outriggers occupy a lane or a sidewalk. That is arranged with the municipality and takes longer than the rental booking does, so start the permit first and book the lift around it.
