Frequently Asked Questions

How much to hire a forklift for a week?

At Heavy Lift Forklifts, weekly hire starts from around $110 per week for selected units, with most standard forklifts priced based on capacity, fuel type, and application.

Most clients benefit from reduced monthly pricing, along with full servicing and support included, so there are no unexpected repair costs during the hire period.

The 3 metre rule is a safety guideline that requires pedestrians to stay at least 3 metres away from operating forklifts. It’s especially important on busy worksites where visibility can be limited. At Heavy Lift Forklifts, all machines are maintained to meet safety standards, helping you operate safely and stay compliant on site.

Forklifts are categorised into 7 classes based on how they’re designed and used, including electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts, narrow aisle machines, and rough terrain units.

 

At Heavy Lift Forklifts, we supply a wide range across these categories, including electric, LPG, diesel forklifts and telehandlers, so we can match the right machine to your specific job and environment.
