Illustrations — not photographs. These 2 frames are generated pictures of the same class of machine, built from this unit’s own specification rows. They show what the machine is and what it does.

Load chart

Neither national publishes this. Every mark below is read off this machine’s own specification rows, drawn to the same scale as every other machine in the yard.

One point is published, and no more. The amber line is the top of the lift, to scale. The yard publishes no capacity at height, and none is drawn. Read the load chart in the cab before you lift.

Not drawn, because the yard has not confirmed it against the data plate: Max forward reach, Capacity at max reach. Ask and we will go and read it.

Add-on attachment.

  • Not suppliedAn operatorThe rate is the machine on its own. You put a trained, competent person in the seat — the yard does not send one, and there is no add-on that changes that.
  • Not suppliedInsuranceThe damage waiver is not insurance. It reduces what you owe for accidental damage; it does not cover theft, misuse or an untrained operator, and it does not stand in for the policy behind your certificate.

Delivery, add-ons and the waiver

Change any of these and the total in the reserve card re-prices straight away.

Getting it there
Add-ons
The damage waiver

What you bring

Have these ready and the yard can release the machine on the day.

  • Certified operatorA trained, competent operator. You certify at checkout that whoever runs this machine is trained and competent on this machine class.
  • Certificate of insuranceA current certificate of insurance naming Cold Steel Rentals. We verify it before the machine is released — a COI is required on every rental.
  • Staff approvalYour dates are held the moment you reserve. The yard checks your insurance and licence before the machine leaves — that is the only step that is not instant.

Things to know

Who may run it

  • Every person who runs this machine has to be trained and competent on this class of machine.
  • You certify that yourself at checkout — the yard does not test you — and it is a clause of the agreement you sign.
  • Occupational health and safety law in Alberta puts that on you.

Insurance

  • A certificate of insurance naming Cold Steel Rentals as additional insured and loss payee, on every rental without exception.
  • 12%of the rental— damage waiver, on every order. A valid certificate on file is the one thing that takes it off.
  • The yard reads the certificate before the machine is released. Send it at checkout or have your broker email it.

Cancelling

  • 24hor more before pickup — cancelling costs nothing.
  • 48hor more if we are delivering — a truck is committed sooner.
  • Inside that window, part of the rental is kept.
