If you are unsure how long you will require the forklift or if you only need it for a specific job, for a specific period of time while a project is ongoing, forklift hire allows you to quickly get the forklift that you need and only pay for it when you need it.

Flexibility

Buying a forklift means being committed to a forklift with certain specifications, which can limit that forklift from other lifting tasks in the workplace. If your forklift lifting requirements change, hiring a forklift means that you can always cost effectively have a forklift that is fit for the job that you require it for. Many big forklift hire fleet operators like Freedom Forklifts, will allow you to change or upgrade your forklift to something that better suits your circumstance even when under contract.

No Capital Expenditure

The initial capital cost of buying even a used forklift can be upwards of $12,000 and for this reason alone many businesses opt to hire a forklift instead of buying one to allow them to deploy their capital on achieving returns on their own operations.

No maintenance

Freedom Forklifts include the maintenance cost in their forklift hire rates. This means that when you hire a forklift, you will not have to worry about the hassles and costs of maintaining your forklift.

Breakdown Replacement

Most businesses can’t afford for their forklift not to be working. If your hire forklift breaks down Freedom Forklifts will offer a speedy break down service and replacement when necessary.

Scale Up And Down As Required

If you have periodic busy periods at certain times of the month or year you can hire additional forklifts to meet the peak period demands and de-hire when those periods are over.
