We had a hydraulic hose burst, Dylan was able to come out within a couple of hours, assess and diagnose, and come back within a couple of hours with the new hose made up and have the forklift back operational. Very good response time, quality workmanship and importantly a very nice person who was a pleasure to deal with. Thoroughly recommend.

Central Lift Trucks supplied my business with a fully inspected used electric forklift that is a great piece of equipment at very reasonable price along with providing responsive hydraulic maintenance service on our other equipment. Highly recommended!

I recently worked with Central Lift Trucks and couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish their team delivered professional, friendly service — exactly what you want when your equipment needs to run smoothly. In particular, Dylan was outstanding: knowledgeable, efficient, and always ready to go the extra mile. He handled our service with exceptional care, clarified each step, and made sure we were completely satisfied. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill, attitude, and reliability so seamlessly. If you’re looking for a company that genuinely cares about its customers and delivers top-tier results, I highly recommend Central Lift Trucks. Thanks Dylan and team for making a difference!

Had my forklift serviced by Central Lift Trucks and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Dylan, the mechanic, did an excellent job — really knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to deal with. The forklift’s running better than ever now. Highly recommend Central Lift Trucks for anyone needing reliable service and great customer care!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of forklifts do you offer for hire?

We offer a wide range of forklifts to suit every job – including electric, LPG, and diesel
forklifts in various sizes and capacities. Whether you need a compact unit for tight warehouse
spaces or a high-capacity forklift for outdoor use, we’ve got you covered.

2. How quickly can I get a forklift delivered?

We offer same-day delivery across the local area (subject to availability). Our team works
fast to minimise your downtime and get you up and running as soon as possible.

3. Is maintenance included in the hire price?

Yes – all forklift hires from Central Lift Trucks include fully maintained servicing and
breakdown support. You’ll never pay extra for callouts, repairs, or routine servicing. We
keep your equipment in top condition.

4. Do you offer short-term and long-term hire options?

Absolutely. Whether you need a forklift for a single day, a week, or an ongoing contract,
we provide flexible hire terms to match your workload and budget.

5. What areas do you service?

We’re based locally and proudly service businesses across the Central Coast, Newcastle
Hunter Region. If you’re not sure whether we deliver to your area, just give us a call.

6. What are the benefits of hiring a forklift instead of buying one?

Hiring helps you save on upfront costs, avoid maintenance headaches, and stay flexible with
your fleet. You’ll enjoy fixed-cost convenience, tax-friendly hire payments, and the
freedom to upgrade or return units as your needs change.

7. Can I hire attachments or accessories with the forklift?

Yes – we offer a range of forklift attachments including fork extensions, rotators, clamps, and
more. Let us know what you’re lifting, and we’ll match you with the right gear.

8. Do I need a forklift licence to hire?

For standard ride-on forklifts, yes – you’ll need a valid LF forklift licence to operate the
equipment. However, we also offer walk-behind forklifts ("walkies"), which do not
require a licence to use. They’re ideal for warehouses, tight spaces, and light-duty lifting –
perfect if you need a quick solution without the red tape. If you're unsure which option is
right for you, our team is happy to guide you.

9. What if the forklift breaks down during hire?

We’ve got you covered with priority breakdown response. If there’s ever a problem, our
technicians will be on-site fast – usually same-day – to repair or swap out the unit and keep
your operation moving.

10. How do I get a quote or book a hire?

Simply call us on [1300 GO FORK], or fill out the quick quote form on this page. One of our
friendly team members will be in touch fast to confirm availability and pricing.
