How long does the battery last and can I charge it partially?
A full battery is usually sufficient for a workday with normal use. If you work multiple shifts, we recommend a Li-ion version: it can be partially charged during breaks without shortening its lifespan. We provide advance consultation on charging strategy, charging location, and connection.
What is the difference between lithium-ion and lead-acid?
Lead-acid is proven and cost-effective, but requires full charge cycles and battery maintenance. Li-ion is maintenance-free, charges faster, can be partially charged, and is more efficient for intensive use. For multi-shift operations and high operating hours, li-ion is usually the better choice.
Can an electric forklift also work outdoors?
Yes, an electric forklift works well on paved surfaces, including loading docks and covered areas. For rough or unpaved terrain and very wet conditions, we usually recommend a diesel forklift or a heavy B-X with suitable tires.
What weight can I rent electrically?
Up to 18 tonnes. In addition to the common capacities of 1.5 to 3.5 tonnes, we also rent out heavy electric Hyundai forklifts from 4 to 18 tonnes, including the high-voltage B-X series. This makes emission-free working possible in transhipment, steel and heavy industry too.
How quickly can an electric rental forklift be delivered?
Upon availability from stock, delivery is often short-term, depending on transport planning and location. When submitting your request, please provide the desired delivery date and unloading location, and we will schedule the transport immediately. We deliver throughout the Netherlands.
Is the rental forklift inspected and insured for use?
Every rental machine comes with a valid VA inspection, the inspection standard for work equipment. The operator must demonstrate expertise, practically through a forklift certificate or demonstrable training. Inquire about the rental terms for insurance and deductible.
Can I rent auxiliary equipment?
Yes: sideshift, fork positioner, fork extensions, and non-marking tires are available depending on availability. Please note: attachments affect the residual capacity—we check this in advance for a safe configuration. See also rental equipment.
When is long-term renting worthwhile?
When used structurally for approximately 12 months. You will then work with fixed monthly costs that include inspection and service scheduling, without any purchase investment. The BE-X Monthly Deals (starting from €675 per month) are an example of this; see also long term forklift rental.
Can I rent an electric forklift for one day?
Yes. You can rent an electric forklift of 1,000–1,600 kg from €75 per day; for 1,600–2,500 kg it is €85 and for 3,000–3,500 kg €105 per day (excl. VAT). Transport is listed separately in the quote. For longer use, the weekly or monthly rate works out cheaper per day; the monthly rate applies to rentals of 3 months or more.
What is the difference between a 3-wheel and a 4-wheel electric forklift?
A 3-wheel electric forklift has a smaller turning circle and therefore fits well in narrow aisles and on a small loading and unloading floor. A 4-wheel model is more stable with heavier loads and on less even ground. In our rental range, the Hyundai BT-9U models of 1.5, 1.8 and 2 tonnes are three-wheelers; the Hyundai BE-X and the models from 2.5 tonnes are four-wheelers. More explanation: 3-wheel or 4-wheel forklift. Everything about use in a warehouse hall is in forklift rental for warehousing and logistics.

Can I rent an electric forklift with an operator?
