How Forklift Leasing Works

A forklift lease lets you use the machine for a fixed term with regular repayments, so you avoid paying the full price upfront. With a rent to own forklift, also called rent to buy, your payments go towards ownership and the machine is yours at the end of the agreement.

The right structure depends on your cash flow, how long you need the forklift and whether you want to own it outright. For some businesses, this model is suitable as it can:

  • Keep your working capital free
  • Make repayments predictable
  • Create a clear path forward to ownership

The Process

  • Tell us what you need

    Share your application, load capacity, fuel type and how long you need the machine. Not sure? Our team will work it out with you.

  • Get a same-day quote and recommendation

    Our sales team will recommend the best-fit forklift, new or used, and send your quote the same day.

  • We connect you with a trusted broker

    We'll introduce you to one of our recommended asset finance brokers, who will compare lease and rent to buy options and manage the application for you.

  • Delivery and ongoing support

    Once approved, we'll prepare and deliver your forklift. Our in-house servicing team is on hand for maintenance and repairs for as long as you need us.
