Why Forge Lift

15 years lifting
Melbourne's industry.

We started in 2009 with a single yard in Dandenong. Today we run one of Victoria's largest independent forklift fleets — and we still pick up the phone ourselves.

Same-Day Delivery

Call before noon and we'll have a machine on your site by end of day across metro Melbourne.

Fully Certified Fleet

Every unit meets Australian safety standards with full inspection certification before it leaves our yard.

24/7 Breakdown Support

Our mobile technicians are on call day and night. Breakdowns happen — we make sure they don't stop you.

Flexible Terms

Rent for a day, lease for a year, or buy outright. We structure deals around your business — not ours.

How It Works

in four steps.

01

Tell Us What You Need

Fill in the quick quote form or give us a call. We'll ask a few questions about your site, load and timeline.

03

Fast, Safe Delivery

We deliver fully serviced and certified machines direct to your site. Same-day metro delivery available.

04

Ongoing Support

From scheduled servicing to 24/7 breakdown cover, we're always one call away for the life of your contract.
