Long term rental from Waverley Forklifts gives you a fully maintained machine on a fixed monthly rate, so your forklift budget stays predictable while your cash stays free for the rest of the business.
Buying a forklift locks up capital and leaves you managing the servicing yourself. A long term rental agreement sets your rate and your service schedule before the forklift arrives, so a worn part or a scheduled service never turns into a surprise invoice. Our mobile technicians and workshop teams keep the machine running for the length of your hire, and if your operation grows or changes shape, you can swap or add equipment with us instead of being stuck with a forklift you bought and no longer need.
Four things change once your forklift moves onto a long term rental agreement with us.
Predictable Monthly Costs
Your rate and your service costs are fixed for the length of the agreement, so a busy month or a slow one doesn't change what you're paying for your forklift.
Fully Maintained Fleet
Every forklift in our rental fleet is serviced and compliance checked by our own technicians, so servicing, parts and breakdown callouts are covered by the agreement rather than sitting on your maintenance budget.
Flexible as Your Business Changes
If your workload shifts, you can adjust your fleet with us, whether that means swapping to a different capacity, adding a second machine for a new site, or scaling back once a project ends.
No Upfront Capital Outlay
You get the forklift you need without the purchase price sitting on your balance sheet, freeing up capital for equipment, staff or stock instead.
