Daily, weekly and monthly hire rates published. Counterbalance, reach truck, electric pallet, telehandler — what they cost, what they're for, where to get them. See the hire guide →
Ireland's plain-English forklift hub — what to hire, what it costs, where to train, who to call. By county. No run-around.
Independent · Editorial · We route enquiries to vetted Irish dealers, not to ourselves
Most Irish forklift sites are dealer brochures — homepage, "call us" button, no published prices, no decision content. This is the opposite. We list weekly hire rates, name the dealers in your county, summarise the RTITB training options, and route your enquiry to people who actually answer the phone.

The questions people actually ask before they call a dealer. We answer them in plain English so you walk into the call knowing what you're talking about.
Electric is winning the warehouse, diesel still owns the yard. We break down running costs, charging vs refuelling, indoor air-quality regs, and SEAI grant eligibility for commercial-fleet electrics.
Read the guideThe honest break-even maths. If you're using a forklift more than 4 days a week, year-round, ownership beats hire on a 3-year horizon. If you're seasonal, hire wins. Worked examples in euros.
