Getting Apelson Appliances' new warehouse up and running
When Apelson Appliances opened a new warehouse, they needed to hire reliable equipment from a partner they could trust. We supplied eight forklifts and two attachments, set them up on site and now provide regular servicing, safety inspections and driver training. It means the team can focus on running their business, not managing equipment.
Lease a forklift truck
Need a forklift for longer than a few months? Leasing might be the better option for your business. Many of our customers find it more beneficial than short-term hire because:
- Your equipment is replaced with newer models at regular intervals
- You can try out new forklifts or pallet trucks without buying them
- There are none of the upfront costs associated with purchasing new machines
- Having access to the latest equipment reduces the average age of your fleet and risk of breakdowns
