4 Forklift Rental Mistakes to Avoid

• Golden Gate Rack

• Forklift rentals are often preferred over
  purchasing forklifts because of a number of
  reasons. These are tricky to handle and require
  professional expertise to operate. Therefore,
  forklift rentals with drivers offer a practical
  and safe solution. Buying a forklift is too
  costly and requires a dedicated space for parking
  it. Moreover, some businesses do not require
  forklifts on a very frequent basis, which means
  you have to bear the maintenance cost
  unnecessarily. Hence, it is recommended to
  consider a forklift rental option for all kinds
  of businesses.
• However, there are a few mistakes people make all
  the time when they go for forklift rentals. These
  mistakes cost them significant time and money.
  Lets take a look at those mistakes in this
  article so that we remain on schedule and within
  our budget.

Failing to read and understand the contract

• While renting out a forklift you will have to
  sign a contract that enlists the terms and
  conditions, charges, and valuable instructions.
  Many people tend to sign this contract without
  even giving it one reading.  This is highly
  discouraged because overlooking some of the terms
  and conditions might cost you money in surprise
  charges.
• For instance, if you return the forklift late
  than you had rented it for, you might have to pay
  for it. You must have a clear idea about the time
  and location for returning the machine. Do you
  need to take it back to the renting facility or
  would the company come and pick themselves? All
  answers are given in the contract which must be
  read before signing.

Not using forklift fully during the rental period

• The forklift rental period is billed on the
  number of days you have rented out the machine.
  Whether you have left the machine in storage or
  put it to consistent use, you will be charged as
  per the contract. Many businesses rent it for a
  job which should be done in one day. However,
  they use it according to their own operations
  which can be stretched over the week. This means
  that ideally, you could have saved the rent money
  for 6 days. It is suggested to complete all tasks
  at your end, and then rent out the forklift so
  that you can use it throughout the day, and pay
  for only one day. Only rent a forklift when you
  are sure that you can immediately and
  consistently use it. Otherwise, you will be
  paying for the time you have not used the machine
  at all.

Renting the wrong type of forklift

• Forklifts come in a variety of sizes and types.
  Each type has its own specific tasks to perform.
  You might rent a forklift which is not right for
  your specific business operations. It is quite a
  common mistake to select a machine that is not
  suitable for your project needs. It can be
  inappropriate because of the fuel type, lifting
  height, weight capacity, size, or other such
  factors.
• Instead of renting the wrong machine, we suggest
  you consult with rental services or dealers. Tell
  them your needs and requirements. Tell them the
  domain in which you need a forklift, and they can
  guide you in picking the right kind of forklift.

Allowing an unqualified operator on the forklift

• Forklifts are very tricky to handle and require
  the utmost dexterity as well as experience so
  that no mishap is encountered. To ensure the
  safety of people working on a site and in the
  surroundings, it is critically important that
  only a qualified and certified handler should
  operate a forklift. In the absence of required
  training and qualification the well-being of all
  stakeholders as well the business is compromised.
   Other than this, do bear in mind that a
  professional who has received training for one
  particular kind of forklift should not be given
  another type of forklift to operate on. Instead,
  make sure that the forklift operator has
  experience and training in the chosen category of
  the forklift.
