• Not every business can afford to purchase
  forklift. The reason is not just budget
  constraint, but also the space required to park
  it. Forklift rental offers a practical and
  affordable solution for moving heavy equipment.
  Although forklift rental is not difficult, but
  once you have rented it, make sure to make the
  most out of it so that you dont have to go
  through the hassle of renting it again and again.
  This article discusses six tips to extract
  maximum benefit out of forklift rental.

3
Identify the Type of Equipment for Renting

• Forklifts come in wide range of shapes, sizes,
  and extra features. Some forklifts are designed
  to cater specific needs, such as rough-terrain
  forklifts, aerial lift, narrow-aisle forklifts,
  marina lifts, personnel carriers, and so on.
• Before you go to rent a forklift, make sure that
  you are well-aware of the kinds of equipment so
  that you dont end up renting the wrong kind.

4
Duration of Rental

• Many rental facilities offer deals and packages
  for equipment rental which include reduced
  per-day cost if the forklift is rented for a long
  period of time. Therefore, before you rent
  equipment, we recommend thoroughly planning and
  organizing your work flow so that you can benefit
  from it to maximum extent, while keeping the cost
  low. You might want to cluster few tasks, so that
  the forklift is hired for a continuous duration
  of time. This way you can not only enjoy the
  reduced cost of forklift rental, but also avoid
  the trouble of moving equipment frequently.
• Once, the job is done, call up the rental company
  straight away so that there are no additional
  costs.

5
Know the Size, Weight and Height of Load

• You must provide the details of load to the
  rental company before hiring the equipment, so
  that you rent forklift with the right
  capabilities. It includes knowing the weight, and
  volume (dimensions such as length, width and
  height) of your loads, and also the height to
  which you want to lift the load. Renting a
  differently capable forklift because it costs you
  less will only add more to your budget because it
  will not perform the job rightly.

6
Consider the Limitations in your Warehouse or Site

• Before hiring specialized equipment, it is
  important to see whether a huge piece of
  machinery can perform at your site, or there are
  limitations like narrow aisles, low arches, small
  door which can impede its performance. Ideally,
  the forklift dealer should ask about the width
  and height of the smallest door or opening
  through which the machine has to be brought in.
• In case your warehouse has any such limitations,
  you can specifically ask for equipment which is
  ultra-compact or sit-down lift truck.

7
Indoor or Outdoor

• For outdoor functioning of forklift, the indoor
  tires are cushioned so as to work well on hard
  and smooth surfaces. They are also equipped with
  pneumatic tires that enable them to traverse a
  variety of more challenging surfaces and
  terrains, which should definitely not be used on
  indoor sites.

8
Delivery on Location Required or Not

• If you live far away from renting facility, do
  check it with the renting company if they offer
  delivery services. This is because the forklift
  dealers who deliver the machinery to a location
  make sure that the equipment is delivered without
  any damage. Being experienced in dealing heavy
  machinery, they know how to handle bulky and
  heavy machines. Also, it is a good idea to ask if
  they charge a fee for transporting, unloading and
  picking up the equipment, because some rental
  dealers offer these services included.
