Scissor & Boom Lift Rentals in Panama City, FL

Some jobs put the work just out of reach, whether it’s a tight approach, limited clearance, or an elevated work area that demands a more stable setup than a ladder can provide. Scissor lifts and boom lifts help you handle those situations with the right access and working position from the start. We rent lift equipment throughout the Panama City area so you can get the right tool for the job without long-term ownership.

Choosing the Right Lift for Your Job

Picking between a scissor lift and a boom lift mostly comes down to how you need to reach the work and what the site looks like.

Scissor Lifts

A scissor lift is a solid choice when you just need to go straight up and have a steady platform to work from. They do their best work on firm, level surfaces where you can roll in under, or very close to, the area you are working on.

Scissor lifts are often used for:

  • Interior construction, fit outs, and warehouse work
  • Ceiling, lighting, and mechanical work over finished floors
  • Jobs on slabs or smooth concrete where a stable footprint matters
  • Tasks where you need space on the platform for tools and materials

Boom Lifts

A boom lift is the better fit when the work is off to the side, tucked back, or blocked by something in front of it. With an articulating arm, a boom lift can move up, out, and over so you can get in front of the work even when you cannot park right under it.

Boom lifts are often used for:

  • Work on signs, building fronts, and details set back from the roof or edge
  • Tree trimming, exterior lighting, and maintenance around obstacles
  • Work on uneven ground where you need more flexibility in positioning
  • Projects where precise placement at height matters more than platform size

What to Consider Before Renting

A little planning up front can help you choose the right lift and avoid surprises on site.

Before you reserve a lift, it helps to think about:

  • Working height and clearance
    Not just how tall the building is, but where you’ll actually be standing and how much room you have above and around the work area.
  • Access to the work area
    How the lift will get from the street or trailer to where you need it. Check gate widths, overhead obstacles, and tight turns along the way.
  • Ground and surface conditions
    Whether the lift will sit on slab, gravel, grass, or a slope, and whether there is enough space to set up safely.
  • Indoor vs. outdoor use
    Any noise, exhaust, or space considerations if you are working inside or close to occupied areas.
  • Project duration and timing
    Whether you need the lift for a quick task or several days, and if it needs to be on site at specific times to keep the job moving.
