Cindy LewitkePatten-Cat,

I would like you to all know that Gasper Raimondi did an outstanding job for one of my customers. Derek Eller couldn’t say enough about this driver. Also, they are pleased to know that National Lift truck has been moving snow equipment for them. Jim O’shea will be moving equipment for this customer as well. Thank you for all your help. It is with great pleasure to work with your drivers.

Mike TrellaBinny's Beverage Depot,

I received your gift yesterday and just wanted to say thanks. While the gift was very thoughtful and appreciated, I can't personally accept gifts with any monetary value. Not to worry though as it will be shared with the staff here and used as part of our holiday celebration. Thank you also for the great service you provide and for taking good care of our equipment and our store personnel. Happy holidays to every body at NLT.

Dave WilliamsCES,

We just completed a very difficult task on having you deliver a lift on one of the fabulous streets of Chicago. A little difficult having a delivery made from a long flatbed trailer around multiple “One Way” streets, however, your driver was very patient and made it work out. I want to thank you for the wonderful service that you provide for our Company.

Ralph "Tiger" MazonTHE HILL GROUP,

Debi Van AntwerpCommunity Consolidated School District #62,

Just a couple of things, just wanted to follow up that the service tech you sent here was great, he was extremely polite, professional and focused. He is a great asset to your Company,. The second is I am looking to see if you have a quote for the repairs for the identified deficiencies.

Matt ShinofieldRental Max,

These guys are the best! Rob Jacklin is a true rental pioneer! He has always gone out of his way to accommodate all of my rental needs and always at a fair price. This is my one stop shop for forklift and boom rentals. All of the equipment is maintained professionally and the one time that I needed a repair done on site they were out there within an hour to fix it. My hat is off to this company and their people!

Liana ThulanderFacades, Inc. Hampstead NH,

We just purchased a lull from NLT. They were wonderful to work with! Friendly and happy to help us. The equipment arrived timely and in superb shape. They made the entire process so easy and pleasant. Will use them for all our equipment for sure!

Ryko Solutions,

Truly a customer orientated company that really appreciates your business. They have always made our priorities first no matter how short of a notice I may have given them. Highly recommended for lift truck, storage, or delivery needs!

Russ MurphyHill Mechanical Inc,

On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate "NLT" a 15. I am the logistic's Manager for a Large Mechanical Contractor and when in need "NLT" is my first call, problem solved. Their Trucking and Storage Department is by far the best. Their management and drivers are true professionals in their field. . My hat is off to Tony, Dave and everyone of the drivers. Keep up the Excellent Service!!

Dennis BleckEncore Event Technologies,

I've been renting from National for 10 years as of 2016 and they've always been consistent with deliveries, service, and communication. I have no reason to look elsewhere. I work downtown and they've never failed even during snowstorms.

Dave CelaniARS Contracting,

NLT is one stop shopping for equipment rental, maintenance and specialized hauling. Their vast inventory of tractor trailers, fork trucks, Telehandlers and man lifts allow ARS Contracting to expand to meet customer demands without the long term cost of purchasing. Over the past 20 years NLT has become more of a business partner than a vendor. Their hauling department has bailed us out too many times to count. 5-star vendor!
