Whether you need a forklift due to an increase in business, a temporary job, or seasonal harvest, a short-term rental can help you meet demand without breaking your budget. The cost to rent a forklift is much lower than buying a forklift outright, and there’s zero risk on the model you choose. When you’re done with a job or your needs change, simply return the equipment.
Why invest in something you can’t be sure you’ll need a year or two from now? By renting a forklift, you won’t end up paying for equipment you don’t need.

Forklift Rental
Here are a few additional reasons to rent rather than buy or lease a forklift:- Making purchase ties up cash flow and credit
- Rentals allow you to cut costs and avoid pay for equipment you’re not using
- Rentals are tax-deductible as an expense (you can’t deduct 100% of a lease)
- You’ll always have the most up-to-date equipment
- Lower maintenance costs (a rental fee is much easier to budget for than an unexpected repair)
Forklift Rental Contracts - What to Look For
When you rent a piece of material handling equipment, the forklift rental cost should cover everything: delivery, pick-up, repairs, tires, etc.Check the fine print on any forklift rental rate that seems too good to be true. For example, if your forklift is working hard, running around in the yard, make sure your rental contract includes the cost of tire replacement.
During the busy season, such as harvest time, it can be challenging to find an LP or electric forklift rental on short notice - especially one with a single-doubles or carton clamp. Contact the forklift rental company as soon as possible, andspecify any attachments you need when making your reservation.If the equipment isn't available, ask about a waiting list.
