Planning a construction project while keeping costs under control is challenging enough. Add in the expenses of buying, storing, and maintaining equipment — and suddenly your “tools” become liabilities.

That’s why renting your lifting and rigging gear from LGH isn’t just convenient — it’s smart business. With over 50 years of experience and the largest inventory of lifting and rigging rentals in North America, LGH helps companies across every industry work safer, faster, and more efficiently.

Here’s why renting with LGH just makes sense.


Project Control

1. Experience you can trust
When you partner with LGH, you’re backed by rental representatives who have decades of real-world experience in hoisting, pulling, jacking, rigging, and material handling. Our experts understand your project needs and help you choose the right gear — no guesswork required.

2. Safe and certified equipment
Every piece of LGH equipment is fully tested, inspected, and certified before it leaves our warehouse. We stock only the latest, safest models from trusted manufacturers like Harrington, Crosby, and Enerpac, so you can trust your lift from start to finish.

3. Easy project ramp-up and ramp-down
From project kickoff to final demobilization, LGH simplifies equipment logistics. One call connects you to a complete lifting solution — and when the job’s done, we handle the pickup and recertification so you don’t have to.

4. Always the right tool for the job
Your time is too valuable to waste adapting the wrong equipment. LGH ensures you always get the correct capacity, configuration, and specifications for your lift — from chain hoists with extended load chain to custom pendant lengths.

5. Access to elite, ready-to-use equipment
Our partnerships with top global manufacturers ensure you’re using only the best. Each item is maintained to ASME standards and arrives job-ready, saving you setup time and minimizing downtime.

6. No downtime, no delays
If an issue arises, we’ll replace your equipment — often the same day. Our experts can also help diagnose and resolve challenges quickly, keeping your job moving safely and efficiently.


Inventory Management

7. Smarter asset control
Stop buying equipment that sits unused. Renting eliminates ownership headaches — no depreciation, no maintenance, no liability. Get exactly what you need, only when you need it.

8. No storage costs
Every square foot of your facility should generate revenue, not store idle gear. LGH becomes your external equipment warehouse — delivering to your site and retrieving it after project completion.

9. No maintenance or parts expenses
Owning equipment comes with ongoing inspection, certification, and repair costs. Renting shifts those expenses to us. Our team maintains every tool to peak performance so you can focus on the work that matters.

By reducing capital expenditures, you preserve cash flow and strengthen your company’s borrowing power.

12. Conserve your capital
When was the last time you bought a car for a week-long trip? Renting lifting equipment works the same way. For short- or long-term projects, LGH gives you the flexibility to use what you need — and return it when you’re done.
