About Prager Ventures

Boom and scissor lift rentals in Waukesha, with personal service and very competitive rates. Founded in 2016 by Gerald "Jerry" Prager.

Our story

Jerry ran a concrete and masonry company for more than 40 years, managing crews of over 50 people. In 2016 he started Prager Ventures: a smaller business built on what he knows best, the construction industry and the equipment it runs on.

We're not a national rental chain. You deal with Jerry directly, and you rent the same brands the big companies carry, including Genie, Skyjack and New Holland, at very competitive rates.

Whether you've run a lift for years or never operated one, we can help. If a machine is new to you, we'll train you on site when we deliver it.

What we rent

We keep a small fleet, and every machine is regularly serviced.

Why rent from us

  • Personal service. You talk to the owner, not a call center, and we get back to you quickly.
  • On-site training. New to a machine? We'll show you how to run it when we drop it off.
  • Posted rates and delivery fees. Every machine's page lists its rates and delivery fees, with links to compare competitors' prices.
  • Well-maintained machines. Our lifts are serviced regularly, so they're ready to work when they arrive.

How renting works

  1. Request a machine. Use the form on any equipment page, or call 414-788-1779.
  2. We confirm. If you sent a request online, we'll call you to confirm the dates, delivery and price.
  3. Sign the rental agreement. We'll send you a link to sign it online. New clients sign before delivery and pay a 20% down payment by credit card, which we take over the phone. The balance is charged to the same card when the rental ends. Returning clients sign the agreement once a year.
  4. We deliver. The machine arrives at your job site, with training if you need it.
  5. Call or text when you're done. We'll pick it up.
