Forklift Types Available for Hire in Bulawayo

Different jobs need different machines. Here is a breakdown of the forklift types we supply, what each one does best, and which hire option suits it.

Counterbalance Forklift available for hire in Bulawayo

Counterbalance Forklift

Capacity: 1.5 to 5 tonnes typical

The most common forklift type, used in warehouses, factories and loading docks for general pallet handling and stacking. The counterweight at the rear balances the load on the forks, allowing it to operate without outriggers.

Best for: Short-term hire or long-term lease
Reach Truck available for hire in Bulawayo

Reach Truck

Capacity: 1 to 2.5 tonnes typical

Designed for narrow aisle racking in warehouses and distribution centres. The mast extends forward to place or retrieve pallets at height, then retracts for safe travel down tight aisles.

Best for: Long-term lease
Rough Terrain Forklift available for hire in Bulawayo

Rough Terrain Forklift

Capacity: 2.5 to 5 tonnes typical

Built for outdoor use on uneven, unpaved or muddy ground. Pneumatic tyres and higher ground clearance let it operate on construction sites, timber yards and agricultural compounds where standard forklifts cannot cope.

Best for: Specialised hire
Pallet Truck available for hire in Bulawayo

Pallet Truck

Capacity: 1 to 3 tonnes typical

Low-level pallet movement on smooth warehouse floors. Electric pallet trucks reduce manual effort for repetitive short-distance moves, dock loading and order picking at ground level.

Best for: Short-term hire
Narrow Aisle Forklift available for hire in Bulawayo

Narrow Aisle Forklift

Capacity: 1 to 1.5 tonnes typical

Also called VNA (very narrow aisle) trucks, these machines work in aisles as tight as 1.6 metres. They maximise storage density in high-bay warehouses where every square metre of floor space counts.

Best for: Long-term lease
Telescopic Handler available for hire in Bulawayo

Telescopic Handler

Capacity: 2.5 to 4 tonnes typical

A telescopic boom gives this machine extended forward reach and lift height that conventional forklifts cannot match. Used on construction sites, in agriculture and for loading containers where loads need to be placed at distance or height.

Best for: Specialised hire
