Electric lithium forklift rental
We rent UN lithium electric forklifts to businesses: short-term and long-term rental, and rent-to-own. We deliver and collect on site. Indicative rental rate from 0.5% of the base price per day, plus transport; the quotation is sent by email.
Three ways to rent
Short-term rental
For peaks in work: seasonal campaigns, stocktakes, building works or replacing a machine that is out of action. Weeks or a few months.
Long-term rental
A forklift for everyday work, with a monthly rent and without buying it. A contract of one or more years; at the end, you return it or renew.
Rental with a purchase option
A monthly rent during the contract and, at the end, the option to keep the forklift for the purchase price set in the quote.

What to compare in a rental quote
Whether it is ours or someone else's, ask in writing for:
- The rent and the minimum term, excluding VAT, and what happens if you need to extend or end early.
- What the rent includes: maintenance, service, a replacement in case of breakdown and insurance. Whatever is not written down is not included.
- Hours of use: whether there is a limit on hours per year and how much each hour above it costs.
- Delivery and collection: transport, unloading on site and the collection date at the end of the contract.
- Battery charging: the charger included and the socket you need on site.
- The return: the condition the forklift must be returned in and what counts as normal wear.
- With a purchase option: the price to keep the forklift at the end and how much of what you have paid counts towards it.
Rent or buy?
For peaks in work, renting avoids having a machine standing idle for the rest of the year. For daily use over several years, compare the rent with buying or with finance leasing. A new electric lithium forklift starts at €17,530 excluding VAT: see the UN range with prices, the electric forklift price in 2026 and the guide buy, rent or finance lease (PT).
