Long and Short-Term Forklift Rental In Wigan
We offer rental agreements ranging from one-day hires to long-term contracts lasting up to five years. Our packages are designed to meet your specific needs, with fixed-cost solutions that streamline budgeting and eliminate unexpected repair expenses.
Benefits of Hiring Forklifts
Renting forklifts can be a smart, cost-effective alternative to buying. Fixed monthly payments help preserve working capital, while flexible contracts align costs with the forklift’s service life. Renting also allows businesses to benefit from potential tax advantages and improved cash flow. For expert financial advice, consult a qualified accountant to maximise these benefits.
Forklift rental provides scalability, enabling businesses to manage seasonal demand spikes or unplanned workload increases with ease.
Pre-Rental Safety
All forklifts in our rental fleet undergo meticulous inspections, preventative maintenance, and routine servicing to ensure full compliance with Health & Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
For businesses new to forklift operations or those using them infrequently, we recommend driver training courses to promote safe and efficient usage. Essential safety practices—such as wearing reflective vests, adhering to load limits, and following proper handling guidelines—are crucial for maintaining a secure workplace.
