Why Consider A Short-Term Forklift Rental?

Special Projects – Special projects may require additional forklifts. Having the right number of forklifts onsite means your special project can get the attention it needs without distracting from day-to-day operations and inventory processing needs.
Volume – Increased demand, new or expanded inventory volume, clearing a backlog, and seasonality are all situations that can require the need for additional forklifts. Despite the uptick, your goal remains to process orders as quickly as possible while keeping costs low, but this is a big challenge during periods of increased volume. A short-term forklift rental is a cost-effective, temporary way to supplement your fleet and solve for all of the above.
Access Forklifts Outside of Your Fleet – Different types of loads and multi-phase projects call for various kinds of forklifts. The good news is that there is no need to always have a variety of forklifts on hand. If you’re working on a multi-phase project, talk to our team about matching your equipment needs with the various project stages. Got a unique load? Just rent a forklift to manage it.
Try Before You Buy – Take a forklift for a test drive. Have you ever bought a vehicle without test-driving it first? Well… this is 2022, so maybe you have. Just like test-driving a passenger car, test-driving a forklift allows you to see if it meets your needs and expectations without making a long-term financial commitment. Can it access the necessary spaces? How does it maneuver? Does it take up too much space? Maybe you’re trying out a new fuel or power source for your vehicles. Does it perform like you need? A short-term forklift rental will allow you to ensure that it’s the right brand and model of equipment for your operation.
Breakdowns & Out-for-repair – Forklift breakdowns and maintenance are a reality in the materials handling and manufacturing worlds. Minimize the inconvenience of being short-needed equipment with short-term rentals. Apex rentals are all lightly used and pass a rigorous inspection to ensure they are the right bridge to keeping your operation going.
Save Storage Space – Your forklift fleet takes up space which is a precious commodity/real estate in a manufacturing environment. Renting a forklift enables you to only make enough space on site for those you need regularly.
New Technology – Gain access to the new technology and safety features you’ve heard about without a long-term commitment.
Money – Simply put, a significant capital expenditure may not be in the cards when your business needs additional equipment; short-term rentals give you breathing room with minimal expense and no long-term commitment. Plus, there’s no need to worry about unexpected repair and maintenance costs.
