The Case for Short-term Forklift Rentals

Short-term rentals have become more and more popular for businesses that do not require full-time access to a forklift or when a business wants to capitalize on a temporary increase in demand or an excellent sales quarter. In these instances, it makes a lot of financial sense to rent lift equipment on a short-term basis. But when else should you think about renting a forklift?

Other situations include:
    1) When unexpected needs arise and require material handling equipment on limited notice.
    2) If you are in a seasonal sales cycle and need additional equipment to handle increased demand.
    3) When you do not want to maintain unused equipment during the off-season or off-peak periods.
    4) When your equipment is unavailable due to damage or repairs.
    5) When you need to handle/transport an atypical load or product.
    6) When you must maintain productivity under tight budget constraints.

About Forklift and Lift Equipment Rentals. Why Renting Makes Sense.

The number one reason to rent your materials handling equipment is that it enables you to use forklifts and lift trucks without laying down the capital, which means upfront or loan costs with interest rates are not a consideration.

Budgeting for the future with fixed costs every month without any unexpected maintenance costs are also huge benefits to renting your forklifts; as all maintenance is covered by the dealer’s rental agreement.

Key Performance Indicators and fleet utilization reports are managed by the dealer, reducing your administration costs while freeing up staff to concentrate on your business.

Renting forklifts will ensure that you always have the most up-to-date equipment and technology. When your equipment ages or your renting terms end your old forklifts are replaced with new ones.

No down time is another big benefit to renting your equipment. If one of the units stops working, your dealer will be able to replace it, providing immediate relief.

Ready to rent? Consider these points before moving forward.

Research dealers to ensure all your applications are met by their equipment selection and that they offer to visit your facility and assess your needs before suggesting product.

Ensure that your dealer has a qualified trainer to offer the option of forklift training to your employees who will be operating the piece of rental equipment.
