A complete quote starts with the load, placement height, forward reach, ground conditions and delivery plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Straight mast or telehandler<\/h2>\n<p>A straight-mast rough-terrain forklift lifts primarily vertically. A telehandler can place loads forward and at height, but capacity changes with boom extension and configuration. Review <a href=\"https:\/\/unionforklift.com\/equipment\/rough-terrain\">rough-terrain equipment<\/a> before selecting a class.<\/p>\n<h2>Capacity at the required reach<\/h2>\n<p>Do not use maximum capacity as the only number. For telehandlers, consult the applicable load chart for the attachment, boom angle and extension.<\/p>\n<h2>Terrain and grade<\/h2>\n<p>Describe gravel, mud, compacted base, slopes and access routes. Rental equipment does not replace proper site preparation or operating limits.<\/p>\n<h2>Rental term and hours<\/h2>\n<p>Daily, weekly and monthly rates include different hour allowances.
