LGH Rentals

Does LGH provide set up services for equipment on site?

No, LGH does not provide on-site setup or installation services for rented equipment. Our team supplies certified, ready-to-use lifting and rigging gear, along with expert guidance to help you choose the right equipment for your job. Once delivered, all setup, installation, and operation must be handled by qualified personnel at your site in accordance with ASME and manufacturer guidelines.

Does LGH sell used or new equipment?

Yes, LGH can sell new equipment, but we do not sell items from our rental fleet. For most products, we act as a non-stocking distributor, meaning the equipment ships directly from the manufacturer and we provide pricing and lead time. We also stock and sell BETA MAX hoists as the premier distributor in North America.

What is the minimum rental duration?

The minimum rental duration is one week. After the first week, equipment can typically be kept on rent for as long as you need and will be billed at the standard weekly rate. After 7 days, the cost is prorated for a single day thereafter.

How long is my quote price effective for?

Quoted prices are effective for 30 days from the quote date.

What is the quote duration?

The quoted amount will be based on the duration that you provide at the time of requesting your quote.

Does LGH substitute equipment?

In some cases, it may be necessary for LGH to substitute an item quoted for a comparable item.  Please notify us if substitutions are not permitted.

Do you provide exam/test certificates?

A valid exam/test certificate will be emailed automatically to the email address on file for the order at the time that your order is filled by our rental center.

Order and Delivery

How do I place an order?

You can place an order by browsing our equipment online, adding the items you need to your basket, and submitting your details at checkout. Once we receive your request, an LGH representative will review it, confirm availability, and finalize your rental with you. If you need help choosing the right rigging or lifting gear, you can also contact us directly for expert support.

Can I request a rental date which starts later than the delivery date?

Orders that require this request will need to go through our rental desk.

How do I return equipment?

To return equipment, contact our Rental Desk at Rentals@RentLGH.com to confirm your off-rent date. We’ll then issue a collection note with all pickup details. Please repackage the equipment following our return guidelines and the checklist provided at off-rent to ensure everything is ready for transport.
If any items are missing or damaged, our team will notify you within five days of the equipment being returned, and additional charges may apply.

How do I cancel or amend an order?

You will be able to make a change or cancel an order up to 1 working day before dispatch by calling our rental desk on 800-878-7305.

If an order has been cancelled with less than 1 working day’s notice, you may incur additional cancellation costs.

How are delivery costs calculated?

Our delivery costs are based on the weight and dimension of the equipment ordered and the distance from our depot to your delivery address.

What if the equipment is lost?

Any lost equipment will be charged at the full replacement cost, and in addition, all rental fees accrued to date must be paid in full.

My Account

Billing

How do I pay for a rental order?

Rental orders are paid through your LGH credit account. If you already have an account, you can contact our Rental Desk for your login details or to place an order. New customers will need to complete our New Account Form before renting equipment.

How are prices calculated?

Our prices are based on our online list price for a minimum hire duration of 1 week. Any discounts on your account will be automatically applied to the price shown.

All our rental prices shown on the website are exclusive of VAT. The total amount including VAT is visible at checkout.

Will I receive an order confirmation?

Yes, all relevant notifications and confirmations will be sent from our rental desk. Please check your email inbox once an order has been placed for updates.

Why was I charged for a full week when I only had the equipment for a few days?

LGH has a 7-day minimum rental period. Even if equipment is returned early, the minimum charge still applies.

Why doesn’t my invoice match the original quote?

If the equipment was kept longer than the quoted rental period (weekly or monthly), the invoice will reflect the additional time.

Why was I billed twice for the same equipment?

Rental charges continue until the equipment is returned. Please review the invoice dates to see the billing period covered.

The ship-to address on my invoice doesn’t match the jobsite. Can it be updated?

If the order was marked as a Customer Pick-Up, the ship-to address will show the LGH warehouse where the equipment was collected.

Why am I being charged a transfer fee?

A transfer fee is applied when equipment is not available at your local warehouse and must be brought in from another LGH location.

Do you charge a processing fee for credit card payments?

Yes. A 3% processing fee applies to all U.S. credit card transactions.
