When to Choose a Short-Term Forklift Rental
Project Work
When you have an upcoming project in Adelaide that requires extra equipment to ensure success without disrupting your current operations, our rental services are the answer. We provide short-term solutions to meet your specific needs and help you complete your project on time and within budget. Should an extension be necessary, we’re more than willing to adjust the rental period to accommodate you. Contact us today to discuss how we can help with your project in Adelaide.
Relocation
In theory, it seems simple – move from point A to point B. We've assisted numerous Adelaide-based companies by providing the additional equipment needed to make this process seamless.
Relocations often come with tight deadlines, and while existing equipment can handle the heavy lifting, you’ll need extra tools at the new site to unload trucks and store stock. From start to finish, we’ve supported companies in Adelaide through this process, including professional relocation services.
Seasonal Demand
Every industry faces seasonal spikes in customer orders, or perhaps a planned promotion exceeded expectations. In either case, additional equipment may be needed to keep things moving.
When holiday orders flood in, warehousing speeds up dramatically. The increased demand requires more from your team, and our short-term rental fleet in Adelaide provides the forklifts needed to get the job done efficiently.
End of Financial Year
From May to July, sales teams and warehouses are working hard to clear stock (likely so stocktake is easier). This places added pressure on warehouse managers and operators in Adelaide to get orders out swiftly. More staff often means a need for extra forklifts, and our short-term rental fleet has the necessary equipment to meet your demands.
Equipment Transport
Relocating your stock is just one part of the equation. Unless you're upgrading, your existing equipment will also need to be moved. Our forklift transport services can help move your equipment—regardless of size or location—quickly and safely. Get in touch with us today to book your transport.
Stocktake
Every warehouse goes through inventory stocktake, and when it’s stocktake time in Adelaide, it adds extra pressure on your existing fleet and workforce. Our short-term rental fleet, including stock pickers, cages, harnesses, and forklifts, will help your team complete the stocktake process on time and with accuracy.
Why Choose a Long-Term Forklift Rental
Below, we’ll explore the advantages and considerations of long-term forklift rental to help you determine if it’s the right fit for your business.
Benefits of Long-Term Rental
Some businesses prefer to own, while others choose to rent or hire. But which option suits you best? While we can't give a one-size-fits-all answer, as every company’s needs differ, renting forklifts offers several distinct benefits. Warehouses and operations strive to maximise productivity while making every dollar count. With typically tight budgets, using fully maintained forklifts helps alleviate many of the costs and challenges faced by operations teams. From basic setups to advanced applications, long-term rentals can enhance lean production processes like Six Sigma. Here are some key benefits of long-term rentals:
- Access to younger machines without large initial capital outlay
- Additional fleet during dynamic or seasonal periods
- Balance Sheet benefits
- Actual maintenance being completed and not delayed or put off due to 'budget' constraints
- Fixed regular costs
- Variety and range of choice - single brand, best of category or hydrid fleets
- Leverage from our experienced teams
- Ability to trade-in existing fleet - operational or not
- Ability to repurpose MHE management time & skills to other key areas.
Stability & Security
Managing your own fleet often leads to tasks being delayed, overlooked, or even rejected due to 'budget constraints.' Our long-term rental options in Adelaide are fully maintained, meaning all servicing and maintenance repairs, including wear and tear, are covered in the rental price. This ensures that your forklifts operate at peak efficiency, minimising operational costs and keeping your budget under control. With fleet management and maintenance off your plate, you and your team can focus more on product movement and core business operations, rather than worrying about non-core issues like servicing and fleet upkeep.
In the complex world of warehousing and logistics, most businesses know they have a core fleet necessary to meet their daily operational needs. This fleet, consisting of forklifts such as power pallets, counterbalance, and high reach, performs the majority of required tasks to meet production goals. But what happens when seasonal demand spikes, a special project arises, or you have an unusual requirement for a client’s proof of concept?
We provide both dynamic and seasonal options for our clients in Adelaide, meaning you don’t need to expand your core fleet for the entire duration of an agreement. Instead, we can ‘bolt on’ additional forklifts to your existing agreement for the short time you need them and return them once your project or peak season is complete. This not only reduces your overall fleet costs long-term but also lowers your rates for seasonal equipment, as we don’t charge full retail for our dynamic fleet. Our long-term clients benefit from flexible, cost-effective solutions that adapt to their changing needs.
