Short Term Hire or Lease

ned Materials Handling companies. We rent or hire forklift and forktruck for short or long term rental (leases).
Short Term Rental
Renting additional equipment when it is needed is usually far more cost effective than keeping equipment on standby, even if the demand for extra equipment is a regular occurrence. By working with us and planning for peak requirements, it is possible to guarantee that equipment is available when it is needed - and at the minimum overall cost. The Short Term Rental fleet provides equipment from an hour, a week, a month or longer.
Long Term Hire or Lease
The ABR Long Term Rental programmes offer quality material handling equipment fully maintained, at a fixed monthly cost. The period of rental (hire) can be adjusted to suit the requirements of individual customers.
An ABR Long Term Rental Agreement ensures a dependable, worry free operation at a predictable cost for accurate, straight forward budget control.
If the requirements of the application change, long term rental plans can provide the flexibility to change or upgrade the equipment involved.
Long Term Rental Agreements give you the reassurance of a total performance guarantee with scheduled service visits that fit in with your work schedules, and a rapid response to breakdowns.
