Renting Equipment in Johnston
Construction equipment demand in Johnston is currently driven by massive industrial and infrastructure projects, primarily the 3.8-million-square-foot Amazon fulfillment center on Hartford Avenue and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation's $42.6 million bridge reconstruction at the I-295 and Route 6 interchange. From late November through March, contractors will face tighter rental availability for earthmoving machinery like loaders and skid steers because local companies heavily repurpose this equipment for commercial snow plowing contracts. When coordinating heavy equipment deliveries, contractors should strategically plan routes to avoid the ongoing lane closures and temporary traffic patterns concentrated around the Exit 9 interchange on I-295.

Renting Aerial Lifts & Boom Lifts: What to Know
Aerial lifts are essential for construction, maintenance, and warehouse work that requires safe access to elevated areas. Scissor lifts work well for indoor jobs and flat surfaces, while boom lifts reach over obstacles on rough terrain. When renting, consider the platform height you need, indoor vs. outdoor use, and whether the job site surface is level or uneven.
Renting Forklifts: What to Know
Forklifts are used across warehousing, construction, and manufacturing to move heavy loads efficiently. Electric models work best indoors where emissions matter, while propane and diesel forklifts handle outdoor loading docks and rough terrain. Most rental companies offer operator training and can help you match lift capacity to your heaviest loads.
