Forklift hire in Kent

Hire that fits the job

Whether you need cover for a breakdown, extra trucks for a seasonal peak or a machine for a one-off project, we can supply it from our hire fleet.

We hire engine and electric counterbalance trucks, powered pallet trucks, stackers, order pickers and reach trucks, as well as rough terrain forklifts, telehandlers, access platforms and industrial cleaning equipment. A wide range of handling attachments is available to hire too.

Short-term hire

Short-term hire covers a busy period, a project or a truck that's off the road. Every truck we list shows its weekly rate and its minimum hire, so you know the cost before you call.

• Serviced and ready to work when it arrives
• Thoroughly examined under LOLER and PUWER, with the paperwork in place
• Servicing and breakdown cover included for the length of the hire
• Hire one truck or several, and mix different types to suit your operation

Contract hire

For longer periods, contract hire gives you one regular rental that covers both the truck and its maintenance. You get a fixed budget with no unexpected repair bills, and at the end of the term we collect the truck and can supply a new one. Contract hire is quoted to suit you, because it depends on finance. Read about contract hire and finance.

Choosing the right truck

Tell us about the job and we'll recommend the right machine. It helps to know:

• what you're lifting, and how heavy it is
• how high you need to lift
• how often the truck will be used, and on what shift pattern
• whether it works indoors, outdoors or both, which decides between diesel, LPG and electric
• whether there are low doors or mezzanines to drive under
• whether you're loading or unloading containers

Questions we're often asked

Can I hire more than one truck?

Yes. You can hire as many machines as you need, and mix different types to suit your operation.

What happens if a hire truck breaks down?

Hire trucks are covered by our maintenance. If there's a problem, call us and our engineers will come out to put it right.

Are operators included?

Hire is for the equipment only, and operators must be trained. If your team needs training, we can provide it. See driver training.

Is delivery included?

Delivery is charged and priced to your address, and it's included in your quote.
