Forklifts for Rent in the UAE

What to consider when renting forklifts

Use this checklist when you compare offers for forklifts:

• Start from the specification: rated lifting capacity and max lift height are what separate one set of forklifts from another, so note them down before you ask for rates.
• Check who will run it. Forklifts are often dry hire, so if nobody on your crew is qualified, ask the supplier whether an operator can be added.
• Ask for the current inspection certificate of the lifting equipment and the certification of the operator and rigger before the machine is mobilised.
• Check what the rate includes: fuel, operator, insurance, consumables and the supplier's breakdown response.
• Rates on Arabian Tool are in SAR and exclude VAT, so ask whether your quote is inclusive or exclusive.

Choosing the right forklift size

Most enquiries for forklifts start with rated lifting capacity. The classes you can open from this page are 2-ton, 3-ton, 7-ton, 10-ton and 16-ton.

If you prefer a particular make, these have dedicated pages: Toyota, Hyundai, Mitsubishi and Yale. Standardising on one brand can simplify parts and operator training.

What affects the price of renting forklifts

Two quotes for forklifts can differ widely for good reasons. Check these factors when you compare:

• Duration: longer hires are usually priced lower per day, and many suppliers quote daily, weekly and monthly rates.
• Operator and fuel: check whether the rate is for the machine alone or includes an operator, fuel and overtime.
• Machine size and age: larger, newer or better-equipped machines are priced higher.
