Price

What drives the cost of forklift operation in Birmingham

  • Machine type and lifting capacity
  • Lift height and reach, especially for telehandlers
  • Booking length and any minimum charge
  • Delivery distance for the machine
  • Indoor versus outdoor work and surface conditions
  • Special attachments such as jibs, clamps or extended forks
  • Timing: after hours or weekend work
  • The age of the home: the typical Birmingham home was built around 1960, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Birmingham

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Birmingham was built around 1960. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

50% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Birmingham building department before work starts.

Not a state license. MIOSHA requires the employer to train, evaluate and issue a permit to each operator, and the permit is renewed at least every 3 years.
Only if your business trains, evaluates and permits them under MIOSHA rules. Booking an operator avoids that step for a one time job.
A forklift lifts straight up and is best on flat floors or yards. A telehandler has a telescoping boom that reaches up and out, which is useful for placing materials on roofs or over obstacles.
