Toyota Forklift Rentals
If you’re unsure about the duration of your job or want to try a piece of equipment before committing to it long-term, renting may be the best option. With a forklift rental, you can return the unit at any time and won’t pay for the equipment during the off-season. Also, rental costs are considered an operational expense rather than a capital expense.We rent forklifts by the day, week, or month in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Yolo County, Salinas, Santa Cruz, and Fresno. Delivery, maintenance, and repairs are always included.
Toyota Flex Lease
A forklift flex lease can include two, and sometimes three separate operating lease contracts in one. After the first term ends, you can return the equipment early, or you can continue to lease the equipment - usually at a lower rate.
