Sound familiar?
You don't need another rental headache. You need the load moved.
- Your forklift broke down — truck's at the gate, crew's standing around
- Heavy, awkward freight that LTL drivers won't touch without equipment
- Renting a forklift means delivery + finding a certified operator + return pickup
- Every hour of burned man-hours is money walking off the jobsite
We show up. We do it all. We leave.
You don't manage rentals, operators, insurances, or returns. One call covers it.

We unload, we set, we leave. No manpower waiting, no burned hours, no juggling rentals and operators.
"Our rental forklift died mid-receiving with two trucks waiting. JIT had a forklift, operator, and insurance on site in under two hours. Saved the entire day."
"We needed a forklift for a one-day festival load-in. They quoted flat, showed up early, and the operator handled every vendor with zero drama."
Frequently asked questions
Forklift for Hire in Tampa Bay — answers to what most customers ask before booking.
How much does a forklift with operator cost in Tampa Bay?
Base rate starts around $295 for the first hour with a 2-hour minimum, including the operator, fuel, and insurance. Final pricing depends on travel, total time on site, and any after-hours premium. Enter your ZIP and job in the quote tool for an instant base price.
Can you provide same-day forklift service?
Yes. Most weekday calls placed before 2 PM in the Tampa Bay area land a same-day slot. Evenings, weekends, and emergencies are dispatched on a "next-available" basis — call (813) 677-3209 if you need it right now.
What can a truck-mounted Moffett forklift unload?
Pallets up to ~5,500 lb, machinery, generators, pavers, flagstone, oversized crates, festival/event gear, and most flatbed freight. If a standard forklift can pick it, a Moffett can land it where you need it — including soft ground and tight residential lots.
Do I need a permit to have a forklift dropped at my site?
Almost never on private commercial or residential property. HOAs, gated communities, and some downtown blocks may require notice. We will flag anything we see during dispatch and coordinate around it.
Book us today — we'll handle the rest.
Tell us the ZIP and what you're moving. Instant base pricing, same-day dispatch available.
