What Is Forklift Hire?
Forklift hire involves renting forklifts for various material handling tasks such as unloading truck deliveries, stacking pallets, and transporting heavy goods. At Cornerstone Plant Hire, we offer a range of forklifts, including electric forklifts suited for indoor use and diesel-powered forklifts for outdoor applications.
Our fleet includes options with diverse lifting capacities, from 1 to 16 tonnes, and varied height requirements, such as telescopic forklifts with reach capabilities up to 14 metres.
This service is ideal for businesses across manufacturing, warehousing, and construction sectors that require logistics support without the long-term investment of purchasing equipment. Our forklifts are available for both short-term and long-term hire, ensuring flexibility for projects or peak periods.
We also offer regular maintenance checks and adherence to safety standards for all hired equipment. Contact us today to find the right forklift solution for your specific needs.
How Much Does Forklift Hire Cost?
Forklift hire with Cornerstone Plant Hire costs from around £100 to £200 per day. Prices vary depending on the forklift capacity, rental duration, and any additional attachments.
For instance, electric forklifts, often chosen for indoor warehouse use due to their low emissions, may be priced differently compared to diesel models suitable for outdoor construction sites. Larger forklifts capable of lifting greater loads tend to be more expensive.
Additionally, specialised attachments like pallet forks, clamps, or rotators can influence the total hire cost. All rentals comply with the latest health and safety standards, ensuring reliable operation.
We offer flexible hire periods to support both short-term projects and long-term contracts. Contact us to receive a customised quote that meets your specific needs and project duration.
