We started in Dandenong with a small yard and a reputation for doing what we said. That hasn't changed. Today we operate one of Victoria's largest independent forklift fleets — and we still pick up the phone ourselves.
Call before noon and we'll have a machine on your site before end of day, anywhere across Melbourne metro.
Every unit is serviced, safety-inspected and compliant before it leaves our yard. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Our mobile workshop technicians are on call around the clock. Breakdowns happen — we make sure they don't stop you.
Daily, weekly, monthly or long-term. We structure rental and purchase arrangements around your operation, not ours.
"Forge Lift had a machine on our site within four hours of my call. Exactly what we needed, perfectly maintained. They'll be our exclusive supplier going forward."
"Three years of rentals and not a single machine down mid-shift. Their maintenance team is the most reliable we've worked with. Wouldn't look elsewhere."
"Sold two old diesel units and bought a new electric on their finance deal. Fast valuation, fair price, on-time delivery. Smooth from start to finish."
