Awful experience. We rented a forklift from Rob. We rented on a Friday. It worked, at first, but then, stopped functioning entirely. After a while, it would start if you tried starting it for long periods of time and you had to pray it would start. We lost more than two days' worth of time on our machine because it was set up for this specific project. We tried calling several times and our calls were not returned and the voice mailbox for Rob was full so we were unable to leave a message. When we finally got him on Sunday, he said he would not come to pick it up as they do not work on Sundays

This company came out same day and has very good pricing. We had another company come out that wanted to charge us triple what the amount that WMH charges. Friendly staff and very efficient!

Hands down the most knowledgeable sales staff I've ever dealt with. Their service techs can out do any dealership level technicians anywhere.

Dennis is an absolute wealth of knowledge. We had an issue with a starter on a lift in Buena Vista which was purchased from Western. By asking me a few simple questions over the phone, he was able to properly diagnose the issue. The best part was that they made things right without hesitation. Their integrity and excellent customer service has made a huge fan of these guys.

Consumer BEWARE! I originally contacted Rick Eakins & Dennis, to repair our forklift. When speaking with Rick, he originally quoted me at $300-400 for the the repair of the forklift. I agreed with Rick that at that price the repairs could be performed. The following, week I reached out to Rick to enquirer about the status of my Forklift repair. Rick stated the repairs have been performed, and completed and the fork lift was ready to be collected.
However, when I arrived to pick up my forklift, the bill he left me with was not what we had agreed too, nor did Rick ever contact me about potential
