Forklift hire
Forklift hire: short-term rental and contract hire
Need a truck for a busy period, a project, or while yours is off the road? Hire one from us. Want a truck for years without buying it? Contract hire gives you one fixed monthly fee.
The challenge
Your workload doesn’t stay the same all year
Peak season, a big contract or a breakdown can leave you a truck short. Buying for the busiest week of the year ties up money in a machine that sits idle for the rest.
That’s why we start by listening. Tell us what you need, and we’ll tell you honestly what we’d recommend. #JustAsk
What we offer
Forklift hire, from people who know trucks.
Short-term rental
Forklifts and handling equipment for as long as you need them, for peaks, projects and covering breakdowns.
Contract hire
A single, fixed monthly fee. Full service and breakdown cover, parts and labour, can all be included.
The right machine
Counterbalance, warehouse equipment, side-loaders, articulated trucks and access platforms. Tell us the job and we’ll match the machine.

Questions people ask
What’s the difference between rental and contract hire?
Rental is short-term and flexible, for peaks and projects. Contract hire is a longer agreement with a fixed monthly fee, where servicing and breakdown cover can be included.
What’s included in contract hire?
One fixed monthly fee, and full service and breakdown cover, parts and labour, can all be included. We’ll set out exactly what’s in your agreement before you sign.
Should I hire or buy?
It depends on how many hours you’ll use the truck, for how long, and how you prefer to pay. Our guide on buying, hiring or contract hire walks through it, or just ask us.
