In Rotterdam, only one thing really matters: reliable equipment that keeps working. Therefore, we (HeftruckHuren.com / ZHE Trading B.V.) supply Hyundai forklifts that are suited to your needs — from quiet electric warehouse forklifts to heavy-duty diesel forklifts for ports and industry. Daily rates? Not our starting point. We are strong in projects and long-term rentals (36–72 months) service and inspections included.
In the port area and on business parks around Rotterdam, you often have to deal with long driving distances, wind & salty air, docks/ramps, varied ground conditions, and peaks in supply. Therefore, we don't just look at “tonnage,” but also at:
Do you want the right direction immediately? Use these guides: 3-wheel vs 4-wheel • Containers & Trailers • Cool/Freeze.
The choices below are the most common in Rotterdam. We deliver with options that make your workflow faster and safer.
Quiet, emission-free, and ideal for DCs, manufacturing, and e-commerce. Li-ion capable for 2–3 shifts without battery stress.
Useful for mixed deployment: quick to proceed with exchange bottles, convenient for short-cycle work and changing locations.
Maximum traction and power for outdoor work, long routes, and heavy loads. We also deliver heavy-duty units up to 30 tons on a project basis.
These are the most common “Rotterdam cases” we see in practice. With the right setup, you can prevent damage, slippage, and downtime.
Thresholds, ramps, and dock pits require the right tires + stability (especially with heavy loads).
Choose capacity, lifting height, and visibility wisely. Fork length and sideshift are also important.
Condensation, slippage, and battery uptime are the pitfalls. Electric works great, but only if set up properly.
Cabins, lighting, and grip make the difference for comfort and safety in the yard.
Need extra efficiency? Also look at fork rotator of bucket solutions (depending on commitment).
Structurally need a forklift at one location (terminal, DC, workshop, or plant)? Then long-term rental is usually the most predictable route: fixed monthly costs, maintenance & inspections handled, and less hassle with replacement.
We deliver throughout Rotterdam and around the port area, including: Maasvlakte, Europoort, Botlek, Pernis, Waalhaven, but also Schiedam, Vlaardingen, Spijkenisse, Barendrecht, Ridderkerk and the Drechtsteden.
Yes. We plan delivery based on availability, on-site access requirements, and the unloading location. Send your location + deployment, and we will immediately assign the correct truck and schedule.
That depends on the load, lift height, and space. In practice, stability, fork length, and visibility are often decisive factors. Use our “Containers & Trailers” guide or ask us for advice with your dimensions and weights.
We can do both, but we are exceptionally strong in projects and long-term (36–72 months) engagements. This provides you with fixed predictability and service agreements that are suitable for continuous use.
Our (full-service) rentals include maintenance and periodic inspections. If you have additional requirements due to site/plant regulations, we will discuss this with you in advance.
Electric is ideal for indoor and clean areas (with a good charging plan). LPG is flexible for mixed use. Diesel (and heavy-duty) is strong for outdoor use, yards, and heavy loads. Tell us about the load/surface/hours per day and we'll advise you immediately.
Send us your location, deployment, and runtime. You will receive a clear proposal with the correct configuration (and options such as sideshift, fork positioner, cabin).
