What Types of Forklift Hire Do We Offer?

TAG Forklift Trucks recognises that Oldham businesses operate across different sectors with varying operational demands. Our flexible hire structures accommodate everything from emergency single-day requirements to multi-year fleet contracts, ensuring you always have the right equipment without unnecessary financial commitment. This adaptability proves particularly valuable for businesses experiencing seasonal fluctuations or those undertaking specific projects requiring temporary capacity increases.

Short Term Forklift Hire Oldham

Short-term forklift hire provides the ultimate flexibility for Oldham businesses facing temporary requirements or unexpected demand. Our short-term options, available from one day to twelve months, include comprehensive support ensuring you receive the same high service standards regardless of hire duration.

  • Daily hire – Ideal for urgent requirements, equipment trials, or covering unexpected breakdowns, daily hire gets your operations back on track immediately with same-day delivery available throughout Oldham.
  • Weekly hire – Perfect for short-term projects, inventory counts, or covering planned maintenance on owned equipment, weekly rentals provide premium machinery access without long-term obligations.
  • Monthly hire – Excellent for seasonal peaks, medium-term contracts, or extended equipment evaluations, monthly agreements offer improved rates whilst maintaining complete flexibility.

Long Term Forklift Hire

Long-term hire agreements represent outstanding value for businesses seeking modern, reliable equipment without capital expenditure. These contracts, typically spanning one to five years, provide complete budget certainty through fixed monthly payments encompassing all servicing, maintenance, and breakdown cover. This comprehensive approach eliminates surprise repair bills, ensures consistent cash flow management, and keeps your fleet operating at peak efficiency throughout the agreement. Many Oldham businesses find long-term hire more economical than purchasing when considering depreciation, maintenance costs, and the ability to upgrade equipment at contract end.

What Equipment Can You Hire from TAG?

Our Oldham forklift hire fleet encompasses every category of material handling equipment modern businesses require. Through partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers including Hyundai, Linde, Combilift, and Aisle Master, we ensure access to cutting-edge technology and proven reliability across all equipment categories.

Electric Forklift Trucks

Electric forklifts represent the optimal choice for indoor operations, delivering zero-emission performance essential for warehouse environments. Our electric range spans 1.5 to 5-tonne capacities, featuring advanced battery technology providing extended operating times and rapid charging capabilities. These machines combine environmental responsibility with operational efficiency, offering precise control, minimal noise levels, and reduced running costs compared to combustion engine alternatives. Modern electric forklifts match diesel performance whilst eliminating exhaust fumes, making them increasingly popular across Oldham’s warehouse and manufacturing facilities.

LPG and Diesel Forklifts

Outdoor applications and intensive operations benefit from our robust diesel and LPG forklift selection. These machines deliver unlimited runtime through rapid refuelling, making them ideal for continuous multi-shift operations. Available in capacities from 2.5 to 16 tonnes, diesel forklifts excel at heavy lifting tasks and rough terrain navigation. LPG models offer an excellent compromise, producing fewer emissions than diesel whilst maintaining operational flexibility through cylinder exchange systems, proving particularly popular with businesses operating mixed indoor-outdoor environments.

Reach Trucks

Maximise warehouse space utilisation with our specialist reach truck fleet. These machines enable high-density storage through narrow aisle operation, with working aisle widths from just 2.1 metres and lift heights reaching 12 metres. Our reach trucks feature advanced stability systems, ergonomic operator compartments, and precise hydraulic controls ensuring safe, efficient operation at height. Both standard and multi-directional models are available, allowing efficient handling of various load types including long materials and awkward shapes.

Specialist Equipment

Beyond conventional forklifts, we supply specialist solutions addressing specific handling challenges. Combilift multi-directional forklifts revolutionise long load handling, whilst Aisle Master articulated trucks maximise storage density in very narrow aisle configurations. Additionally, we offer comprehensive forklift parts & accessories including rotators, side-shifts, drum handlers, and specialist clamps, transforming standard forklifts into versatile handling solutions tailored to your unique requirements.
