What Is A Heavy Forklift?

A High Capacity Step Up From The Warehouse Forklift

A heavy forklift is a high capacity version of the everyday warehouse forklift, built to lift far heavier loads, from a few tonnes right up to 50 tonnes and beyond.

Not Tied To One Brand Or Yard

Container Forklifts And Heavy Capacity Units, Sourced To Suit

A lot of forklift hire in Perth comes from a single fleet or a single brand distributor. We're not limited that way, so a container forklift job gets a container forklift, not whatever happens to be sitting in one yard.

Getting It There

How Do You Transport A Heavy Forklift?

Smaller units can be driven or trucked easily, but the big capacity machines are heavy and often need a float and the right permits to move. We handle the machine and the transport together.

Hire Or Buy

Should You Hire Or Buy A Heavy Forklift?

For a project or a busy season, hiring keeps your cash free. If you're lifting heavy every day, buying can pay off.

Buy
