Benefits of HIre

Unlock Unique Benefits with our Hires

Hiring a forklift can be cheaper than buying it.

If your business intends to use a forklift for a week or several months, hiring one seems to be a sensible option. All of the machines we offer are available for short-term and long-term forklift hire. The best part is that you get to use the latest and best-suited machine for the job.

There are zero maintenance costs with hired forklifts.

Just like any other machine out there, forklifts need regular maintenance besides the everyday checks. And anyone who services heavy machinery knows how expensive it can get. With hired equipment, the business gets a break from these unpleasant surprises and planned maintenance costs, as general servicing and repairs are covered within our hire contracts, although damage is chargeable.

Short & Long Term Hire

Flexible Hire Options Readily Available

Short-Term Hire

Most companies may require a short-term material handling or warehouse equipment solution during times of operational headaches.

Short-term hire is an ideal way to meet heavy or seasonal demands without putting a strain on the balance sheet.

All kinds of equipment are available, including Doosan Bobcat Gas, Diesel, and Electric Forklift Trucks, as well as Combilift's, Articulated Flexi’s, and much more.

Long-Term Hire

A number of companies today are looking more closely at the advantages of contract hire. There are several advantages to this option, not least of which is the ability to fix the total cost throughout the term of the agreement.

Our rental packages are available with full maintenance included. You can be certain of your total costs throughout your agreed term.
