Buying a Forklift Vs Renting a Forklift

Before deciding whether to rent a forklift or buy one, there are a few things to consider.

Price and Budget

Forklifts are an awfully expensive piece of equipment. They are not something people should buy just because they are great to have. Keep in mind that one of these large industrial lift trucks can run anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000. That is a lot to pay for machinery that will only be there in case you need it.

If you are thinking of buying a forklift because it will be needed for an upcoming project, you might want to consider a forklift truck rental instead. For the same amount of a forklift lease cost per month, you can rent a forklift for an entire month. Those who will need a forklift more shortly, but are currently on a low budget, might think about renting one now and then buying later once you have the means.

How Many Times Will You Need a Forklift?

If it is less than 20 times, then you are better off renting a forklift for each job rather than getting a forklift lease option, since, if you add the amount charged for interest, you might end up paying nearly double at full term. Think about it, a forklift for rent costs around $1000 per month, so even if you rent one on 20 separate occasions, it will cost much less than buying a $25,000 forklift. However, if you run a warehouse or delivery service that requires a forklift to be used almost constantly, then buying would be your best option.

To rent a small forklift, pricing starts at around $100 per day, roughly $350 for weekly rentals, and approximately $1000 for a monthly rental.

For a mid-sized IC forklift, it costs anywhere from $180 to $260 per day, $400 to $575 per week, and $1,200 to $1,600 per month.

A large diesel forklift that comes with accessories, can cost around $500 per day, $1,250 per week, and $3,000 per month.

Renting upfront for longer periods is the most cost-effective. Keep in mind that when renting a forklift, it is always better to rent it out a little longer than the time you need it, up front. That way you won’t have to rush through your project, and you won’t have to worry about delays that will require you to extend your time on an already drawn up contract, which can cost you more. This will also help you avoid paying costly late overtime fees.

Top Factors to Consider When Choosing a Forklift to Meet Your Needs

Numerous types of forklifts available serve multi-purposes. To narrow down your choices consider the following factors:

Operating Environment

Where you will use the forklift

Weight to Lift

How much weight will you need to lift?

Height to Lift

How high is the load you need to lift?

Fuel Type

Which type of fuel is best to use in the facility you will be operating the forklift in?

How Much It Costs to Rent a Forklift?

With all things considered it will cost anywhere from $225 to $800 per day for a forklift to rent depending on how long you rent. Remember the longer you rent upfront, the lower your rate will be, and unlike some other companies, we don’t charge maintenance fees.
