Benefits of Hiring a Forklift rather than buying

  • Many businesses do not even require a forklift. At certain times you could have existing lift trucks that you have already purchased for your business needs. However, these lift trucks are machines just like any other and there will be points of time where they will unfortunately either require service or will need to go into the shop for repairs. At times like these, getting a cheap forklift for hire in Melbourne makes excellent fiscal sense as you don’t need to purchase the entire machine but you could hire it for a limited period to ensure that your business does not suffer any downtime.


  • There will be many times when your business will have a substantial increase in demand and will require you to significantly increase the output capacity of your industry. At times like these, your warehouse goes into turmoil trying to manage a significantly larger load of orders. This kind of extended reach can usually become a big problem for small business owners. However, when you hire a forklift, you can meet these temporary demands, without having to invest the heavy amount of capital that goes into purchasing a new machine.

  • Certain businesses have the aforementioned increase in demand repeatedly. This could either happen due to seasonal demands, or due to constant fluctuations in the market that keep occurring every few months or so. At times like these, buying a new forklift doesn’t make sense as you would be spending a significantly high amount of money on a machine that won’t be used for a long time. However, if you get a cheap forklift for hire in Melbourne, then you can meet these seasonal demand hikes without having to burn a hole in your wallet.

  • Certain small companies do not have it in their budget to be able to afford a forklift. However, the same is not true with their requirements for a forklift. Their inventory can easily be managed with a forklift in the warehouse, but they simply don’t have the capital to make such a massive investment. Well, the good news for them is that they can simply get a forklift for hire and their problems are alleviated. They can retain a significant amount of productivity without having to purchase a brand new machine and the best part is when they finally have the requisite budget to buy a new forklift, then they can easily go in for a purchase.
  • Do you offer electric forklifts to hire in Melbourne?

    Yes, we have a range of electric forklifts to hire. 


    Electric forklifts provide numerous advantages over other types of forklifts. Namely, they don’t require fuel to operate, so this reduces overhead costs. They are also ideal for running indoors because they don’t emit any toxic gases in their exhaust and they operate more quietly than fuel-powered forklifts. Ge corporations in the area, including Storage King, Visy Recycling, Super Cheap Auto, Total Tools and 40 Winks.

  • Do you have LPG & Diesel Forklifts for hire?

    Yes, we have a range of L.P.G and Diesel forklifts to hire in Melbourne. They offer their own specific advantages. They are capable of withstanding harsh open-air environments, which makes them a versatile option for outdoor jobs. They are also capable of extreme load capacities, ranging from 1 to 35 tonnes. Our diesel forklifts operate at a low cost so you get the best value for your hire.






    If you need a high-quality forklift for hire in Melbourne, then reach out to heavy forklifts today. We can provide you with an excellent cheap forklift for hire in Melbourne. Our forklifts for hire in Melbourne have prices that are extremely competitive so you can be assured that you will get exactly what you’re looking for at a highly affordable rate.

  • How does forklift rental work?

    Forklift rental works similarly to renting any other type of equipment or vehicle. Here's a step-by-step overview of how our forklift rental typically works:


    1. Determine Your Needs: First, you need to assess your specific requirements. Consider factors such as the type of forklift you need (e.g., electric, propane, diesel), its lifting capacity, the terrain it will operate on, and the rental duration. If you are unsure, please contact Heavy Lift Forklifts.
    2. Request a Quote: Contact us via phone or our contact form and request a quote based on your needs. Provide us with information about the type of forklift, rental duration, and any additional services or attachments you may require.
    3. Review the Rental Agreement: After receiving a quote, review the rental agreement provided. Pay attention to terms and conditions, pricing details, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and any other important clauses.
    4. Arrange Transportation: Heavy Lift Forklifts offer transportation of the hired equipment to your address in Melbourne and Victoria. We have worked with some large corporations, including Storage King, Visy Recycling, Super Cheap Auto, Total Tools and 40 Winks. 
    5. Secure Insurance: Talk about insurance coverage with us. We may provide insurance as part of the contract, or you may need to provide proof of insurance or purchase a separate insurance policy to cover the forklift during the rental period.
    6. Schedule Training: If you or your operators are not already certified to operate a forklift, arrange for training through us or a qualified training provider. Safety training is crucial to prevent accidents and injuries.
    7. Sign the Rental Agreement: Once you're satisfied with the terms and conditions and have completed any necessary paperwork, sign the rental agreement. Be sure to keep a copy for your records.
    8. Delivery of the Forklift: The forklift will be brought to your location on the agreed-upon date and time. Inspect the equipment to ensure it's in proper working condition before accepting it.
    9. Operate Safely: Ensure that operators are licensed and follow safety protocols when using the forklift. Adhere to the rental agreement's guidelines for maintenance and care.
    10. Return the Forklift: At the end of the rental period, return the forklift or arrange for pickup if that's part of the agreement. Make sure the forklift is in the same condition as when it was delivered.
    11. Settle Billing: Review the final invoice, make any necessary payments, and ensure that all charges are accurate. Retain records of the rental transaction for your records.
  • Can I rent specialised forklift attachments, such as pallet jacks or boom lifts?

    Yes, we can offer specialised forklift attachments, such as pallet jacks or boom lifts, for rent. To check if we have these attachments in stock and to enquire about availability, pricing, and rental terms, contact us via phone or email to discuss your specific requirements and make arrangements for renting the desired attachments.

We have the ability to transport any of the equipment you hire directly to the site, allowing you to save time. Our dry hire is specifically designed for your time restraints and needs.
