If you want to buy a forklift, you will need to consider usage patterns and what materials you will be handling. These factors will determine the appropriate size and fuel type.
- Our smaller equipment, starting at 1.5 tonnes in weight, are best used in small warehouses and for limited use.
- Our medium-sized models are commonly for moving the contents of shipping containers – for example goods on pallets, boxes etc. The vast majority of our customers find that a 2.5 tonne model, with a maximum carrying load of 2.3 tonnes, is perfect for their needs.
- Our 7 tonne equipment, the largest models we carry, are excellent for outdoor applications, large factories that handle items like building materials, and shipping container conveying.
If you don’t anticipate daily use, or will use the equipment for short periods, we recommend one of our smaller electric models which run on a traction battery, or our cheap forklift rental Sydney-wide. Companies with more frequent usage would be better served with our LPG, petrol, or diesel models.
If you’re still not sure which model is best for you or have any concerns, we’re more than happy to show you our range and help you find the right material handling solution.
