Ready When The Season Starts:
Forklift Rentals For Agriculture

When the season ramps up, you need equipment that’s ready to go. G&W Equipment offers a full fleet of rental forklifts to support agriculture operations through every phase – planting, harvesting, packing, and storage.

From farms and produce handlers to processors and ag co-ops, we help you scale quickly with the right equipment for the job.

What Forklift Rentals Work Best for Agriculture?

The best agriculture equipment rental depends on where you work, what you move, and how long you need the equipment. Walkie riders and 3-wheel electrics are strong fits for tighter packing and storage areas, while cushion and pneumatic forklifts are better for covered loading zones, outdoor yards, and heavier agricultural loads.

If you are looking for soybean farm equipment support, a rental forklift can help move seed, pallets, bins, inputs, packaging, and finished product without adding a permanent unit to your fleet.

Why Farms and Produce Operations Rent Forklifts

Agriculture work changes fast by crop, season, and site. Renting gives operations the flexibility to bring in the right equipment when demand rises, without committing to a year-round purchase. 

Forklifts can help with: 

  • Loading and unloading trailers 
  • Moving seed, supplies, and palletized materials 
  • Handling produce bins and totes 
  • Supporting packing sheds, coolers, and storage areas 
  • Keeping work moving during seasonal spikes 

Forklifts support a wide range of agriculture applications, including handling materials for crops like soybeans, peanuts, tobacco, onions, cucumbers, watermelon, squash, and tomatoes. The right forklift can help reduce manual strain and improve material flow across the operation.

  • Choose a walkie rider or 3-wheel electric when space is tight and maneuverability matters.
  • Choose a 5K IC cushion for covered loading or produce-handling areas with smoother surfaces.
  • Choose a pneumatic or diesel unit for outdoor yards, heavier bins, pallets, and more rugged ground.
