Tõsta

What Tõsta does

Tõsta OÜ is an Estonian private equipment rental company operating exclusively in Estonia, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Harjumaa. The company rents a broad catalog of lifting, access, and material-handling equipment — including front loaders, excavators, counterbalance forklifts (electric and diesel), boom lifts (electric, diesel, and towable), truck-mounted lifts, telehandlers, stockpickers, warehouse forklifts, spider lifts, aluminum scaffolding towers (BoSS series), aluminum ladders, ground protection mats, vacuum lifters (VIAVAC), drywall lifters, material lifts, pallet trucks, fuel tanks, trailers, and heating/drying equipment. The fleet is manufactured by established brands such as Genie, Werner, BoSS, VIAVAC, KSF, and Brentex, and all units are delivered and picked up by Tõsta's own logistics across the country.

The company serves two customer segments in parallel: private individuals (eraisikud) who need occasional access equipment for personal construction or renovation projects, and legal entities (juriidilised isikud) such as construction firms, warehouses, and industrial operators requiring flexible equipment access on a project basis. Tõsta operates a self-serve online ordering platform at tosta.ee with published per-day unit pricing, supplemented by phone-based sales organized regionally into North Estonia (Tallinn) and South Estonia (Tartu). Revenues are generated on a transactional, pay-as-you-go rental basis rather than long-term contracts, with optional damage protection insurance offered as an add-on.

Tõsta's operating model is built around physical asset utilization and last-mile logistics. With two branches (Tallinn and Tartu), a regional sales team structure, and dedicated logistics and technical management, the company focuses on equipment availability, maintenance, and nationwide delivery within Estonia. It is a member of the Estonian Creditors Union (EVUL), which provides background-checked credibility to business counterparties, and reports a 4.9/5 average customer rating. The company is founder-managed, with Riho Villemson as CEO, and operates as a privately-held, self-funded entity with no disclosed external investors, acquisitions, or funding rounds.

Direct peers

• Ramirent: Finnish equipment rental specialist (now Boels-owned) with deep Baltic market history. Overlaps directly with Tõsta's lift, scaffolding, and material-handling categories and shares the same Nordic construction-customer base.
• Cramo: Finnish-origin equipment rental company with historic Baltic presence, now part of Boels. Comparable product portfolio (aerial platforms, material handling, scaffolding) and similar Nordic/Baltic geographic orientation; the most direct historical competitor in Tõsta's category set.
• Robirent: Estonian equipment rental company specifically referenced on Tõsta's website footer, suggesting an affiliate or peer relationship. Same domestic Estonian market with overlapping lifting/access equipment offering — the closest local competitor.
• Riwal: European aerial work platform and boom lift rental specialist headquartered in the Netherlands with operations across multiple countries. Directly comparable specialty focus on elevated work platforms — a core Tõsta category.

Broad incumbents

• Boels Rental: Europe's largest equipment rental company with established Baltic operations (acquired Cramo and Ramirent). Directly comparable category overlap — boom lifts, forklifts, telehandlers, scaffolding — but vastly larger fleet and multi-country footprint.
• Loxam: France-headquartered pan-European equipment rental leader with broad category coverage. Overlapping capabilities (aerial platforms, forklifts, material handling) but operates at vastly larger scale with multi-country infrastructure.
• Sunbelt Rentals: North America's largest equipment rental company (part of Ashtead Group). Compares on equipment-rental business model and category breadth (lifts, forklifts, telehandlers) but at dramatically larger scale and different geography.

Regional players

• Stokker: Estonian-based machinery and equipment supplier with a strong Baltic footprint. Comparable in geographic market (Estonia/Baltics) and overlapping categories around construction and material handling equipment.
