The Benefits of Short Term Forklift Hire

Short-term forklift hire can be just as beneficial as long-term forklift hire, so if your warehouse has been enjoying the transparency and reliability of long-term hire than why not consider short-term forklift hire for particularly busy periods, such as Christmas ro lack Friday sales?

It’s also ideal for limiting the amount of downtime you experience if one of your own forklifts has broken down, is being serviced or requires repairs. So how else can you benefit from short-term forklift hire?

You’ll see a boost in productivity levels

If you’re highly-familiar with the day-to-day runnings of your warehouse, then you’ll be able to use short-term forklift hire to your absolute advantage. This is because you’ll have a solid idea of when your busy periods are and when things return back to some form of normality, when your own equipment is able to deal with the demand.

Christmas, for example, is a particularly busy time for warehouses and distribution centres alike and so this is when your normal fleet, used all year round, won’t be able to keep up with the demand around that time of year. This is when you could benefit highly from short-term forklift hire, especially if your increase in demand only lasts for a few weeks.

Use forklift short-term hire to your advantage when your warehouse becomes overwhelmed with orders. Once those busy times quieten down, then you’ll be able to return your rented forklift as opposed to dealing with the expensive outlay of purchasing a brand new forklift.

You’ll experience flexible contracts

If you know exactly when the increase in demand happens in your warehouse, then you’ll be able to negotiate a flexible, transparent short-term forklift rental contract that works perfectly for both yourself and your employees. Typically, short-term forklift hire ranges anywhere in duration from one week to twelve months, so you’ll have complete flexibility when it comes to how long you have the rented forklift for.

Before hiring a forklift, you should ask the dealer if you can test drive it first, making sure that it feels right for you and has the capabilities you’re looking for to ensure that you’re getting the most out of your forklift rental.

Alternatively, you could ask one of your forklift operators to test drive it for you and ask them for their feedback before committing. This level of transparency will help you to make the right decision for your business whilst also confirming that the forklift you’re looking to hire is safe to operate, no matter what.
