About Forklift Diesel Hire
Hire diesel forklifts ranging from compact 1.5-tonne machines all the way up to 45-tonne heavy lifters and Reach Stackers for container handling. Side-shift and load-positioning options available across the range. Ideal for ports, freight terminals, container yards, timber yards, mining support, and any outdoor or high-throughput materials handling job.
Forklift Diesel Hire Across Australia
Diesel forklifts are the workhorse of Australian materials handling. With high torque, long runtimes, and the ability to operate on uneven outdoor surfaces, they're the go-to choice for freight terminals, ports, container yards, timber yards, mining laydowns, and any high-throughput operation that can't be slowed down by battery swaps.
Lift Equipt's diesel hire fleet runs from compact 1.5-tonne units that fit through standard roller doors all the way up to 45-tonne heavy lifters and Reach Stackers built to swing shipping containers, steel coil and project loads. Most units come standard with side-shift and load-positioning carriages, and we can fit fork extensions, jibs, slippers, container spreaders and other attachments on request — just tell us the load and the site, and we'll match the right machine.
