Hyundai or STILL, Linde, Jungheinrich, Yale or Hyster?
That depends on your application, not on the brand. When renting, you compare forklift brands on four points: lifting capacity and specification, availability, rental terms and price per day.
Hyundai or STILL, Linde, Jungheinrich, Yale or Hyster forklift rental: what should you compare?
Put the quotes side by side on these four points:
- Lifting capacity and specification: heaviest load, lift height, mast, tyres and drive (electric, LPG or diesel). Only compare forklifts with the same lifting capacity and the same mast.
- Availability: is the specification you need available during your rental period and at your location?
- Rental terms: the minimum rental duration, what is included in the rental price, who pays for transport and fuel and whether the forklift has been inspected.
- Price per day: compare amounts excluding VAT, for the same specification and the same rental period, and add the transport on top.
You will only see which brand is cheaper once you put two quotes for the same specification side by side.
STILL, Linde, Jungheinrich, Yale and Hyster in brief
STILL and Linde are German brands within the same group, the KION Group. Jungheinrich is a German manufacturer from Hamburg. Yale and Hyster are originally American brands and belong to the same group. All five supply electric forklifts and warehouse trucks. Do you already work with one of these brands?
