Here at GRS Rents we work with customers to find the best equipment solutions for their upcoming projects.  We do our very best to completely understand your projects so that we can ensure you end up with the right equipment – the first time!  How do we do this; you might wonder?  Well, it’s quite simple! We take the time to speak with you and completely understand your project.  We hope that you’ll take our questions as an assurance that we’re working hard for you; not an annoyance while talking to a guy at the rental store.

Here’s what we’re likely to ask:
1) What type of project are you working on?  – We want to understand the application for the equipment you’re asking for.  We bring in new equipment all the time and may have a new machine that you’ve never seen before!

2) Do you have any special needs for this equipment? Specific features that you’re expecting?  – The GRS Rents staff wants to ensure that the equipment we supply you with completely fits your expectations.  We hope you’ll take the time to completely inform us of any specific features you need on the equipment you’re ordering.  This information will help ensure that you get what you’re expecting from GRS Rents.

3) Have you or the person that will be using the equipment used this type of equipment before?  – It doesn’t matter if you order your equipment from our Crystal Lake Rental Store, Marengo Rental Store, or East Dundee Rental Store – We want to make sure that whoever is using the equipment knows how to operate it safely and with all available features!

4) How long do you think you’ll need the equipment for? – We’re taking the equipment out of rental inventory specifically for you! Let us know how long you’ll need it for to help us accurately plan rental equipment for all of our customers!

So, you see, when the staff at GRS Rents wants to talk about your project with you – we’re just trying to help! We want to envision the work being done and confirm that everything will go according to plan.  Stop by GRS Rents in Crystal Lake, Marengo, or East Dundee or just give us a call at 888-477-7687 to plan your next project!

As the economy begins to rebound,  GRS Rents is working with many contractors who have been retained to renew existing warehouse/office/retail space for new tenants. This work often requires revisions to wiring, data cabling, and hvac. As these items are almost universally installed in ceiling areas it is important to be able to work there safely. GRS Rents supplies these contractors with all types of scissor lifts, articulated boom lifts and forklifts to help them safely complete these projects. Most commonly we are providing contractors with 19′, 20′, or 26′ electric scissor lifts. These time savers also help get the job done more efficiently.

With rollback delivery service available anywhere in Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin we can make ground or loading dock deliveries. We also stock a complete line of 4X4 boom lifts and shooting boom forklifts to help with exterior renovation work. Give us a call at 888-477-7687 to discuss your next project!

Rent Boom Lifts from GRS Rents

GRS Rents just completed a project for a major Chicago Snow Removal Company. We supplied a large number of late model state of the art Bobcat skidsteer loaders to multiple sites around Chicago. What’s better, is that the customer confirmed their reservation at 3:00pm and we delivered all of the units that night so that they could load salt trucks that evening. Using our fleet of Rollback delivery vehicles we were able to get the job done before the snow could fly!
