This is not what the website claims -- just a warning.

Does anyone know if you can rent lockers or something anywhere in JFK? Something big enough to fit a carry-on-sized bag and preferably a backpack as well...
I've seen the luggage storage place on the way out of the baggage claim areas, if I remember. Google suggests there are a couple options in some terminals. But I've not used them.
