I just started a forklift rental co. here in Pittsburgh PA. I have a former background in IR diesel compressor sales. Any ideas on what type of machines I should begin with for a rental fleet. In other words, what are the most commonly rented machines? Also, any ideas on what industries regularly rent machines? I do not yet have a distributorship so I am going to have to focus on rentals for now. I would really appreciate any helpful advise.
