"We'll Make Do" Has a Price Tag
Every Day Without the Right Machine Costs You
Slower jobs. Tired teams. Customers who move to whoever can turn the job around faster. The fix isn't buying more gear you'll barely use.
It's having the right machine on site the moment you need it and a team who can make that happen today. That's what the fleet below is for.
The Hire Fleet
Forklift Types Available for Hire
One of WA's most comprehensive hire fleets — from pallet jacks to 45-tonne container handlers.
Beyond Forklifts
Telehandler & EWP Hire | Same Team, One Quote
Most sites need more than a forklift. We hire telehandlers and elevated work platforms alongside our forklift fleet, so you can sort the whole job with one call.
Telehandler Hire
Reach and lift where a standard forklift can't. Our telehandlers suit construction, agriculture and industrial sites needing extended reach and rough terrain capability, on short or long-term hire.

EWP & Access Equipment Hire
Scissor lifts, boom lifts and elevated work platforms for maintenance, construction and warehouse access delivered on the same fast turnaround as our forklift fleet.

Hire vs Buy
Is Forklift Hire Right for Your Business?
Not every business needs to own its equipment. For many Perth operations construction sites, warehouses, one-off projects and seasonal peaks, hiring a forklift is simply the smarter financial decision.
Whether you need a machine for a single day or a five-year contract, we'll match you to the right equipment at the right price.
Buying ties up capital in a depreciating asset plus ongoing servicing costs. Hiring lets you put that capital where your business needs it most.
Every hire forklift is serviced and compliance-checked before it reaches you — no running equipment that's fallen behind current standards.
Our in-house technicians service every machine before and during your hire. No surprise repair bills.
Need an LPG counterbalance this month and a rough terrain model next quarter? Hire gives you that flexibility without a locked-in asset on the books.
Hiring first lets you assess real-world usage before committing. When you're ready, browse our new and used forklifts for sale.

Call Katie on 0449 575 806 and she'll match you to the right equipment in minutes.
Do you hire telehandlers and EWPs as well as forklifts?
Yes. Alongside our forklift fleet we hire telehandlers and elevated work platforms across Perth and WA. Call our hire team and we'll combine everything into a single quote for your site.
How much does forklift hire cost in Perth?
Rates start from around $180 per day depending on capacity, fuel type and hire length. Long-term hire of six months or more is charged at a set monthly rate with no CPI increases. Call or fill out the form for an exact quote usually within 15 minutes during business hours.
For how long can I hire a forklift?
We offer hire terms from a single day right through to five-year long-term contracts. Short-term hire runs for less than six months with no lock-in contract. Long-term hire of six months or more comes with a set monthly rate, no CPI increases, and full maintenance included.
How do I know which forklift I should hire?
The right forklift depends on load weight, the environment you're working in, and how high you need to stack. A warehouse typically suits an electric or lithium forklift, while outdoor or uneven terrain calls for a diesel, LPG or rough terrain model. Our hire manager Katie can help you get it right the first time.
How fast can you deliver a forklift?
We're fast. Because we own our own tilt tray, we're not dependent on third-party transport contractors — we load and go on our own schedule. For urgent requirements, call us directly on (08) 9248 8660.
Do you hire forklifts outside Perth, across regional WA?
Yes. Alongside Perth metro, we regularly support long-term hire in Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Port Hedland, Newman, Broome, Geraldton, Albany, Bunbury and Esperance. Call us to discuss transport and lead times for your region.
Is forklift rental the same as forklift hire?
Yes — forklift rental and forklift hire mean the same thing, they're just different words for the same service. Whether you search for forklift rental Perth or forklift hire Perth, you'll find the same fleet, the same terms, and the same team.
Are the forklifts maintained and serviced before hire?
Yes, every machine that leaves our Malaga workshop is fully serviced, certified and work-ready before delivery. Ongoing maintenance throughout your hire period is included — no unexpected repair costs.
