Rental Categories and Use Cases for Parks and Attractions 

Our equipment lineup covers multiple categories and uses for theme and amusement parks. 

High-Reach Access and Ride Maintenance Lifts

Maintaining roller coasters and other elevated amusement park rides and features often requires accessing high places. We have various mobile elevated work platforms for rent to enable your crews to work productively and safely at heights. Choose from articulating or telescopic boom lifts and high-capacity options. We also have specialty access equipment, such as atrium lifts, tracked lifts and manlifts for tight clearances.

Power, Lighting and Climate Control

Your park may need various equipment types for temporary electricity generation, lighting and atmospheric control. Our rental selection includes numerous products to meet these requirements:

• Power generation products and tools, including towable generators and distribution panels for parades and seasonal overlays
• Portable light towers for night maintenance, queue lines, parking lots and event zones
• Climate control units, including spot coolers, packaged units, heaters and dehumidifiers, for guest areas and ride buildings

Rigging, Material Handling and Site Logistics

We have the right equipment for lifting heavy materials and objects efficiently and safely at amusement and theme parks and for transporting workers and their tools and supplies around the site. You'll find:

• Chain hoists, slings, spreader bars for show/ride installs and other rigging solutions.
• Material handling machines, like forklifts, telehandlers and pallet jacks, for parts scenery and staging.
• Utility vehicles and carts, such as personnel carriers and flatbeds, for back-of-house logistics.

Ground, Traffic and Site Safety

Amusement and theme parks are hectic places that experience heavy pedestrian and small-vehicle traffic. Herc Rentals offers ground protection equipment like mats and temporary walkways to protect surfaces against wear and tear. We also have traffic and crowd control solutions, including barricades, signage and message boards, for guest and contractor routing. Fencing, cones, spill containment and confined space gear are available for site safety and operations.

Earthmoving and Sitework for New Builds and Rehab

Amusement parks that are under construction or undergoing significant renovations need heavy-duty earthmoving equipment for various digging, loading and unloading jobs and for transporting soil and other materials. Herc Rentals has everything you need for these demanding tasks, including:

• Excavators
• Skid steers
• Compact track loaders
• Compaction machines
• Vacuum excavators
• Utilities and drainage attachments

Safety is paramount in the amusement and theme park industry, and we take it seriously at Herc Rentals. Our theme park and amusement services include various safety and compliance programs and initiatives to give you peace of mind.

Enroll employees in various safety training courses as needed. We offer operator training for mobile elevated work platforms, forklifts, telehandlers and other equipment as well as fall protection training. Your staff will learn equipment- and workplace-related information along with specific rules you have at your business. 

Planning, Delivery and On-Site Service

We perform pre-project walk-throughs and assist with equipment staging plans. We can also collaborate with you to choose the appropriately sized equipment for your applications. 

Once your rentals are on-site, we're available 24/7 to keep them on the job and performing safely. We can also swap out malfunctioning equipment if needed to minimize downtime. Some machines include telemetry to enable you to monitor equipment location, usage and performance remotely. 

Environmental and Noise Considerations
