Renting a gas-powered forklift truck enhances your material handling capabilities with its exceptional performance and versatility. These counterbalance forklifts are suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor tasks on relatively flat surfaces, making them ideal for environments that include both buildings and open yard areas.
Forklift trucks are essential for transporting materials over short distances. Their versatility and practicality make them useful for a wide range of tasks. These compact vehicles feature rear-wheel steering, providing excellent maneuverability in confined spaces and around sharp corners. The forklifts are equipped with a forked platform, located either at the front or back, which slides under loads for easy lifting. The hydraulic system enables the operator to raise and lower this platform, ensuring the safe and controlled movement of items.
LPG-powered forklifts are cost-effective, eliminating the need for charging stations or batteries. Switching out a gas canister is a quick process, minimizing operational downtime. These gas forklifts are competitive with electric and diesel counterparts in terms of power, benefiting from an efficient power-to-weight ratio and responsive engines. They are capable of transporting significant loads rapidly and sustainably.
Our selection includes forklifts with capacities ranging from 1600kg to 4000kg. They come with masts of either 5 or 5.5 meters and forks of 1.2 or 1.8 meters. Additional options such as jibs, cabins, or non-marking tires can be added during checkout to suit your specific work environment.
To hire a forklift, an online ID check is required. At checkout, a deposit and insurance fee will be calculated. If you have your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI) and prefer to opt-out of our insurance, you can arrange this through Live Chat. Your rental will be finalized once the ID verification is successful and the insurance fee is settled or your own insurance documentation is submitted and approved.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.
If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.
YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.
If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.
An insurance charge will be calculated at checkout. If you have proof of your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI) and wish to opt-out of the insurance charge, you can do so by booking via Live Chat.
