Forklift Contract Hire

Maximising your business efficiency with flexible forklift solutions 

Contract Hire is a popular way of acquiring the use of assets without the need for substantial capital outlay. For a single monthly payment covering financingmaintenance and repair, you can outsource the management of your fleet to the experts at Rushlift. Contracts vary in length but are typically five years. 
 
Our approach to contract hire is unique in the industry. As a company that is not reliant on one manufacturer to source its equipment, we can advise you on the most suitable and cost-effective equipment for your application.
 

Why Choose Forklift Contract Hire?

There are many benefits of forklift contract hire, including no major capital outlay. Contract hire gives you immediate access to high-performance forklifts without the financial burden, whether you need one or a fleet. 
 
With contract hire, you can also enjoy knowing that all servicing and maintenance are covered in your rental contract. Maintaining and servicing your forklifts and material handling equipment can be time-consuming and expensive; contract hire allows you to focus on core business activities over equipment management.
