5_Reasons_to_Rent_a_Forklift
Some fleet managers question the benefits of renting a forklift, but renting can be a cost-effective solution to a sudden increase in business, a temporary need for specialized equipment, or a smart way to evaluate a forklift before committing to buy.

You may be surprised to know, the average forklift rental term is two months. Rather than tying up capital in a long-term purchase, an increasing number of businesses choose to rent. Read on to learn more about the benefits of renting a forklift.

The Benefits of Renting a Forklift

#1 Get the Equipment You Need Fast
When an existing forklift breaks down or needs an extended service, renting a forklift is the best way to keep your operation going. Receive a 20% discount off our regular rental rates when you choose SST to repair your forklift.

#2 Yours When You Need It, Ours When You Don't
Renting gives you the flexibility to avoid paying for equipment you’re not using. If you get a short-term contract, or have a seasonal spike in business, renting is the ideal solution. When business is slow, return the forklift and conserve capital.

#3 Predictable Monthly Costs
If you have a fixed budget or just wanted to avoid unexpected maintenance costs, renting can give you peace of mind. When you rent from SST, regular maintenance is included.

#4 You’ll always have a new forklift
A reputable forklift rental company will deliver a lift truck with lower hours in good condition. When you rent a Toyota forklift, you get the latest technology for maximum safety and efficiency. SST ensures all our forklifts are up to the latest OSHA standards, so our customers have one less thing to worry about.

#5 Try Before You Buy
If you’re thinking about adding a new forklift to your fleet, why not try before you buy? Ask us about our rental purchase plans.
