The Following rental options are available.
CONTRACT RENTAL
If forklifts are critical to your business operation, and you simply cannot afford downtime, contract rental is the best option. By signing up for a term of 12 months or more, you enjoy:
- greatly reduced rates over casual hire;
- 24 hour backup
- replacement units in the event of major breakdowns.
LONG-TERM HIRE
As with contract hire, where forklifts are critical to your business operation, and you simply cannot afford downtime during a peak period (e.g. Christmas sales), hiring a forklift from 1 to 6 months offers you:
- reduced rates over casual hire;
- 24 hour backup
CASUAL HIRE
If you only need a forklift for a short period of time (e.g. to offload a truck once a month), casual hire may be the best option. Casual hire is also useful to meet very short periods of peak demand. Benfits of casual hire include:
- no need for a longer-term commitment;
- flexibility

THE CASE FOR RENTAL
If you use forklifts, the case for rental is a powerful one. It is, very simply; a highly cost-effective option. Improved bottom-line, tax benefits and efficient asset management are only some of the rewards.
When forklifts are critical to your business, you cannot afford downtime. Rental removes the risk. Your machines are guaranteed. Maintenance is included - you will never have to pay for a forklift that is not working. Nor will you need a workshop, spares, special tools or equipment - nor expensive staff.
Not requiring a large capital investment makes the case for rental even more compelling. And there are no unexpected costs. A single, budgeted monthly payment covers the vehicle and full maintenance. And rental payments are fully deductible. Rental also means access to new equipment and expert technical advice. Plus complete compliance with the stringent OHS Act.
