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.
