What’s Included in Diesel Forklift Rental?

Choosing diesel forklift rental gives your team access to dependable, heavy-duty equipment on a long-term basis. Hire terms typically range from 3 to 7 years and include full maintenance, servicing and inspections. With predictable monthly payments, diesel forklift rental helps you manage your budget while ensuring maximum uptime.

Our available diesel hire stock is limited but includes a selection of trusted brands and robust models. Each truck is thoroughly inspected before delivery and supported by our technical team for the full duration of the hire. Diesel forklifts remain ideal for outdoor sites with limited charging access or rough ground conditions.

That said, many newer lithium forklift models now rival diesel in load capacity and performance. These electric options are also available for hire and offer the added benefits of quieter operation, no emissions and significantly lower fuel costs. Whether you’re committed to diesel or ready to explore alternatives, our team will guide you through your best-fit hire options.

  • Is diesel still a good option for forklifts?

    Diesel forklifts are still widely used for outdoor work and heavy-duty lifting. They remain a strong choice where electric charging is not available, though many businesses are considering cleaner alternatives.
