Thinking of hiring your forklift instead of purchasing a machine? Here are just a few reasons why you should.
Can Work Out More Cost-Effective
Requiring a forklift truck for your business, or even a fleet of trucks, can be costly if you purchase the vehicles. However, by hiring your required number of forklift trucks you do not have to provide a large up-front capital investment like you would with a purchase option. Additionally, once your contract terms are worked out, you have a fixed monthly cost which you can budget for. You also won’t be stung with any sudden repair or maintenance bills, which brings us to our next point…
Servicing & Maintenance Is Included
Our comprehensive forklift servicing and maintenance is all included in the price. This means you receive regular maintenance to ensure your vehicles are running as well as can be and aren’t suffering from any problems. Servicing is done by expert engineers for complete peace of mind and work that is always done to the highest standard.
Complete Flexibility
Hiring a forklift truck gives you complete flexibility over the terms. You may need a forklift for one day, one month, one year or on a continual basis. I doesn’t matter with a hire contract because you can set your own terms. There’s no point purchasing an expensive machine if you only need it for a short period of time which makes hire the only sensible option to suit your needs.
Upgrade Options Available
As the needs of your business change, you need to be able to change the equipment and vehicles you use to reflect that. Hire options enable you to upgrade your vehicle or switch it for something more suitable – something you wouldn’t easily be able to do if you had purchased your forklift truck.
