Questions
Before you call.
Do you rent by the day?
Yes. Daily rentals are our most common job, and long-term leases are available too.
What if my forklift breaks down at night?
We offer 24-hour emergency rental. Call 919-773-0339 and we'll work to get a replacement to you fast.
Who am I dealing with?
The owners. Tilton's is owned and run by the Tilton family, so there's no middleman and no reseller markup.
Do you still do crane work?
Yes. Tilton's started as a crane service and still offers heavy equipment operation and rigging, though most of our work is forklift rental today.
