So, What Can You Actually Rent From Iron Core Rentals?
From boom lifts and telehandlers to generators and mini excavators — here’s everything in our fleet, who each machine is built for, and how fast we can get it to your jobsite.
By Iron Core Rentals · Modesto, CA · Serving Central Valley & Bay Area
One question we get all the time.
“What do you guys actually rent?” It’s a fair question — especially if you’ve only heard our name come up for boom lifts or aerial work. The answer is: a lot more than that.
If it runs on a California construction jobsite and your crew needs it on time, there’s a good chance it’s in our fleet. Here’s the full breakdown, straight from the source.
Aerial Lifts — Get Your Crew to Height, Safely
This is the core of what we do. We run articulated boom lifts, straight boom lifts, electric boom lifts, rough terrain scissor lifts, and mast lifts — all inspected, serviced, and job-ready before they leave our yard in Modesto.
- Articulated Boom Lifts — 45′–80′ working height. The knuckle boom reaches over obstacles — rooflines, pipe racks, structural steel. Built for electrical contractors, steel erectors, and painters on commercial tilt-ups throughout the Central Valley.
- Straight Boom Lifts — 40′–85′ working height. Maximum reach in a straight line. Go-to for exterior walls on tilt-ups, bridge inspection, and cell tower access across the Bay Area and Central Valley.
- Electric Boom Lifts — 30′–45′ working height. Zero emissions, low noise. Built for indoor jobs — warehouses, data centers, occupied retail — where diesel isn’t an option. CARB-compliant for California.
- Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts — 26′–40′ platform height. Four-wheel drive, foam-filled tires. The workhorse for MEP contractors and framing crews on active construction sites across Modesto, Fresno, and Stockton.
- Mast Lifts — 12′–26′ working height. Compact single-person vertical access that fits through a standard door. Perfect for tight interior spaces — retail buildouts, office renovations, anywhere a full-size lift won’t fit.
“Needed a scissor lift in a pinch — quick professional responses and made the process easy for me. Definitely will continue to turn to them and recommend out to others.”

A telehandler does the work of a forklift and a crane in one machine with one operator. Our fleet covers mid-size material handling all the way to heavy structural placement on commercial and industrial sites across California.
- Telehandlers — 5,000–12,000 lbs capacity. Telescoping boom forklifts with interchangeable attachments — forks, buckets, and work platforms. The 12,000 lb model handles precast panels, structural steel, and material placement at height.
- Warehouse Forklifts — 5,000–15,000 lbs capacity. Straight-mast forklifts for yard work, staging areas, and warehouse operations. Gas and propane models. Ideal for distribution centers and contractor lay-down yards.
Earthmoving — Mini Excavators & Skid Steers
We stock the two most commonly rented earthmoving machines on California jobsites — available on short notice with delivery across Modesto, Fresno, Stockton, Merced, Turlock, and the Bay Area.
- Mini Excavators — 2,000–18,000 lbs operating weight. Right-sized for tight access — utility trenching, landscaping, demo work, and foundation prep. Our smallest machines fit through a standard gate.
- Skid Steers — Wheeled & Track models. The most versatile loader on a jobsite. Swap attachments for grading, trenching, demolition, or material handling. Track models for soft ground; wheeled for hardpack yards.
Power & Lighting — Keep the Site Running
When the grid isn’t available — or isn’t reliable — we keep your site lit and powered. Generator and light tower rentals for everything from a single-phase temp panel to a full site power setup.
- Generators — 10kW–100kW output. Diesel generators for temporary power, emergency backup, and remote operations. Single-phase and three-phase. Tier 4 Final — fully CARB-compliant for California.
- Light Towers — Trailer-mounted & skid models. LED light tower rentals for night work, perimeter security, and full-site illumination. Trailer models relocate in minutes.
Storage Containers — Secure On-Site Storage
Steel containers in 10′, 20′, and 40′ sizes. Ground-level access, weather-tight, and lockable. Standard on commercial construction sites for tool storage, material staging, and temporary site offices throughout California.
