  • Electric Counterbalance Material Handlers

    Electric forklift truck hire offers you top performance, low operating costs, dependability, low maintenance, health, safety and environmental benefits. They are cleaner to operate and maintain, do not produce emissions, are quiet running, and safe around perishable items. Electric forklifts are perfect for indoor use, and they are easy to charge when not in use.

    You can use a forklift truck to move materials over short distances. They are useful for various jobs because they are so versatile and practical. Forklifts are compact and have rear-wheel steering, which means an operator can take advantage of their maneuverability in small spaces and around tight corners. A forked platform is usually at the front or back of the vehicle, and allow for insertion under cargo or loads. You can raise and lower the platform using a hydraulic system, allowing you to move items in a safe and steady way.

    Electric forklifts offer a high level of versatility and are ideal in workzones where diesel or gas powered machines are not suitable, like in areas with poor ventilation, sound-sensitive locations, or sensitive sites. They are ideal for warehouses and factories in the haulage, distribution and logistics sectors, builders yards, DIY stores, forecourts, and more.

    We offer 1800kg and 2000kg 3 wheeled machines. They a smaller turning circle, allowing the forklift to turn in even cramped spaces. The counterbalance functionality is also included in three-wheelers, making it highly maneuverable with loads of all shapes and sizes. We also have 4 wheeled 2000kg, 2500kg, 3000kg, and 3500kg capacity machines with 5.99-metre or 6.9-metre masts and 1.8-metre or 2.4-metre forks, depending upon what you need. If you need a jib, a cabin, or non-marking tyres for the area you are working, you can add them to your order during checkout.

    Hiring this product is subject to an online ID check. A deposit and insurance charge will be calculated at checkout. If you have 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. Your booking can only proceed once the ID check is completed successfully and the insurance charge has been paid (or insurance documents submitted and accepted).

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.
