Do You Know Bercon Rentals’ Most Requested Machine?
Across Ontario job sites, from heavy industrial facilities in Southwestern Ontario to infrastructure projects in the GTA and large commercial builds throughout the province, one access machine is requested more than any other at Bercon Rentals: the straight 65-foot boom lift.
This demand didn’t happen by chance.
Ontario contractors operate in some of the most challenging conditions in Canada: fluctuating temperatures, uneven terrain, tight schedules, and zero tolerance for downtime. Over decades of supporting these job sites, Bercon Rentals has seen firsthand which machines perform and which ones slow crews down.
Time and again, the straight 65-foot boom lift proves itself as the most reliable, efficient, and productive access solution for large-scale Ontario projects.
Why Bercon Rentals Sees Unmatched Demand for This Machine
At Bercon Rentals, rental trends tell a clear story. Contractors don’t request this machine because it’s familiar; they request it because it delivers results on Ontario job sites.

Straight boom lifts thrive in these environments. Their telescopic design allows crews to reach height and distance without constantly repositioning, which is critical on large Ontario sites where time equals money.
Bercon Rentals consistently supplies this machine to contractors who need scale, reach, and stability, not compact maneuverability.
