Forklift Hire: In SA
Our Forklift Hire Options Include:
Diesel 1.8 to 7.0 Ton
Renting a diesel forklift is a good option if you require a internal combustion forklift truck with maximum power. IC Forklift rentals are ideal for indoor and outdoor use. If you hire a diesel forklift from us you generally have the choice of either a 1.8 Ton, 2.5 Ton, 3.0 Ton, 5 Ton and 7 Ton. But contact us to check the latest stock in our hire fleet.
LPG-Petrol 1.8 to 3.0 Ton
The other internal combustion option you have for hiring forklifts are to opt for one of our LPG-Petrol units. LPG-Petrol forklifts offer the same indoor/outdoor versatility as diesel forklifts but with the added benefit of being able to run of either petrol or gas. They can be slightly more expensive to run and are available for renting from 1.8 Ton to 3.0 Ton models.
Electric 3 or 4 Wheel
Electric models are your best option when your forklift leasing or renting requirements are for environmentally friendly, fume-free, quiet and agile machines. If you require a forklift for indoor use then we recommend you hire one of our 3 or 4 wheel electric models.
Various Reach Trucks for Hire
Reach trucks are suited to application where you need to work with cargo at heights. Our reach trucks can lift cargo as high as thirteen metres. If you will be renting a forklift for indoor use where you will be lifting to heights then speak to us about our reach truck rental options.

Long Term Forklift Rental
12 to 60 Months
A long term rental is classified as a rental for a period longer than 12 months. There are two different options with a long term rental. One where the machine will return to Masslift at the end of the period, and one where ownership of the machine passes to the customer at the end of the term. At Masslift these are referred to as:
A Full Maintenance Rental Contract
This is broken into a finance portion and a maintenance portion. All maintenance of the forklift, at the correct service intervals, along with genuine parts, labour and call outs are included. At the end of the period, the ownership of the forklift will return to Masslift.
A Full Maintenance Rental Contract with Ownership
This works in exactly the same way as the first option, but, as the name suggests, ownership of the forklift passes to you, the customer at the end of the term.
What’s included in long term forklift rentals?
The rental or FMC rates quoted include all services, maintenance and repair arising from fair wear and tear under normal operation. This includes all lubricants, filters, parts, cleaning materials travelling and labour required for the repair and maintenance of the forklift.
What’s excluded in long term forklift rentals?
Excluded are batteries, tyres, forks, fuel used, insurance and all damage due to collision, impact, misuse, mal-operation and negligence.
