When it comes to your material handling fleet, you may find that you do not need every forklift, every day. Certain seasons of the year may be busier for your business, which could be a perfect time to consider an equipment or forklift rental. Equipment rentals help fill in the gap when needed, without making an equipment purchase. Welch offers a variety of equipment rentals, including electric pallet jacks, stand-up and sit-down forklifts, high-capacity forklifts, aerial lifts, telehandlers, and more. You can also choose between short and long-term rentals, whether they are needed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
When Should I Rent a Forklift or Material Handling Equipment?
- Seasonal Needs: There are a variety of industries that have busier times throughout the year. In the agricultural industry, spring planting, late summer and fall harvest are peak times, while in distribution, there is more activity leading up to Black Friday and the holidays. You probably do not want to purchase equipment specifically for this time and have it sitting idle the rest of the year.
- Unexpected Business Surge: There are some things you cannot predict, like a natural disaster or other unforeseen circumstances. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw many food, beverage, and grocery customers in need of rentals and Welch was able to provide them with the equipment they needed with a quick turnaround time.
- No Commitment: Are you not ready to commit to purchasing a forklift? Or maybe you want to try out various brands or models before taking the leap? Equipment rentals allow you to demo various brands or models, and even switch out equipment depending on your needs.
- Quick Turnaround: Need a certain piece of equipment immediately? With shorter lead times, equipment rentals are a great solution.
- No Financing: A rental truck does not require capital financing, eliminating an extra step in the approval process.
