Need a forklift for a week, a season, or the next five years? Toyota Material Handling hires forklifts right across Australia, with short and long term rental to suit how your operation actually runs. Hire a single forklift to cover a busy week, or build a managed fleet of fifty for a multi-year site. 

Here is what you get when you hire from us.

• Australia's largest rental fleet. More than 35,000 forklifts are available for hire nationwide, so we can usually match your requirements as required.
• Flexible terms. Hire from a single day up to five years, and size the agreement to the job rather than the other way around.
• Service and maintenance included. Long term agreements cover scheduled servicing and maintenance.
• A branch in every state. Our factory-owned branch network handles delivery, servicing and parts wherever you are based.
• Current-model equipment. Run the latest Toyota forklifts without wearing the depreciation, and step up to a newer model when one lands.
• Cover for peak periods. Add machines for your busy season and hand them back when things quieten down, instead of owning capacity you only use part of the year.

Hiring a forklift frees up the capital you would otherwise lock into machinery, and it moves the cost of servicing, repairs and downtime onto us. You get current-model equipment, a fixed monthly figure you can budget around, and the freedom to change your fleet as the work changes.

We hire the full Toyota range, from hand pallet jacks through to high-reach warehouse trucks. Every hire machine is serviced to factory standard and goes through a pre-delivery inspection before it reaches your site, so it turns up ready to work. Tell us the load, the lift height and the environment, and we will match the right unit.

Short term forklift hire suits seasonal peaks, one-off jobs, site relocations and covering a machine that is off the road. In most metro areas we can have a hire forklift on your site within 24 hours. Terms run from one day up to 12 months with nothing locking you in long term. It is the practical choice for end-of-year stock surges, construction loading, event logistics and standing up a temporary warehouse, and every short term unit arrives fully serviced and inspected.

Long term forklift rental gives you everything you get from owning a forklift without the upfront spend or the depreciation. Agreements run from 12 months to five years and usually include all scheduled servicing, maintenance, and fair wear and tear. It keeps the equipment off your balance sheet, fixes your monthly cost so budgeting is straightforward, and lets you move to newer models as your operation grows. If you run a mixed fleet, our fleet management program gives you one point of contact for every machine you have on hire, plus consolidated reporting across the lot.

How Forklift Hire Works

Hiring from us is straightforward. Here is how it runs, from the first call to handover.

• Tell us what you need. Send the enquiry form or call 1800 425 438 with your equipment, hire length and site location.
• We match the right machine. Our team recommends the forklift type and capacity that fits your load, lift height and working environment.
• We deliver to your site. Your hire forklift arrives inspected and ready to operate, on the date you need it.
• We keep it running. On long term agreements, our national service team manages all scheduled servicing, so you are not chasing it.
• Return or extend. At the end of the term, hand the forklift back or extend the agreement. Either way it is a quick conversation.
