Lease to Own Forklifts

Lease To Own Forklifts: Get The Equipment You Need Without The Upfront Cost

If you are sitting between either hiring a forklift or purchasing one, then our rent to own forklift program is probably the best solution for you and your job site. 

Your worksite and warehouse efficiency and productivity relies on quality forklift trucks. And at Forklogic, we understand that buying a forklift outright might not always be in your budget, but you feel like hiring isn't the best solution for long-term and ongoing forklift needs.

Our flexible payment plans and lease-to-own option gives you the convenience of forklift hire that leads to ownership.

Why Your Business Will Benefit From Lease-To-Own Forklift Solutions

There are many advantages to considering our lease-to-own forklift program for your worksite or warehouse. Renting while building equity towards purchasing a new or used forklift is a great budget solution

✔️ Avoids Up Front Capital Cost

Get the equipment you need on-site today without draining cash reserves. Bypassing a heavy lump-sum purchase keeps your working capital free for everyday operations, inventory, and business expansion. 

✔️ Flexible & Beneficial For Budgets

Lock in predictable, manageable repayments that match your cash flow. Our financing is often more flexible and competitive than traditional bank loans, simplifying forecasting and eliminating budget surprises. 

✔️ Testing Equipment Before You Fully Commit 

Put the forklift to work in your real-world environment before making a permanent commitment. Your team can verify its performance, capacity, and fit on-site, with flexible options to adjust if your operational needs change. 

✔️ Maintenance and Servicing Included in The Program

Routine servicing and safety checks are bundled directly into your single agreement. We keep your machine compliant and running at peak performance, cutting down administrative paperwork and eliminating unexpected repair bills. 

✔️ A Great Pathway To Ownership

Break the cycle of endless rental expenses that leave you with nothing to show for them. Every lease payment builds equity, turning standard operational hire costs into full equipment ownership at the end of your term. 

✔️ Reduced Risks Opposed To Upfront Purchase

Shield your balance sheet from rapid depreciation, costly breakdown repairs, and the risk of holding outdated machinery. You get the full productivity of a modern forklift while offloading ownership risks during the lease term.

The Difference Between Hiring, Rent-To-Own, and Purchasing Forklifts

Are you finding our different options confusing or are you unsure on which option would suit your business the best? Follow our chart below to see what forklift option will work best for your business. 

If you are still unsure, you can call our friendly team to discuss all of our different options as well as forklift stock and availability. 

Agreement Type	Ownership During the Agreement	What Happens at the End?	Best Suited For
Forklift Hire / Rental	Forklogic retains ownership throughout the term.	The forklift returns to our fleet, or you can extend the hire period.	Seasonal workload spikes, temporary site projects, or testing equipment before committing.
Rent-to-Own (Lease-to-Own)	Forklogic retains ownership while your routine payments build equity.	Complete the term to take full ownership, or explore our flexible end-of-lease options.	Businesses wanting full asset ownership without heavy upfront deposits or rigid bank criteria.
Commercial Finance Lease	The third-party financier or lending institution holds the title.	Pay out the residual balloon value, refinance the balance, or return the forklift.	Operations that prefer regularly upgrading to brand-new machinery every 3 to 5 years.
Chattel Mortgage / Outright Buy	Your business holds ownership on the balance sheet from day one.	The machine is already yours; no end-of-term action required once cleared.	Established operations with surplus capital wanting permanent, long-term fleet additions.

How Does Our Rent-To-Own Forklift Program Work?

Our rent-to-own program bridges the gap between hiring and buying by turning standard operational rental payments into equity. 

Instead of draining working capital with an outright purchase or paying endless hire fees with zero return, your agreement is structured around manageable, predictable terms that work toward ownership.

• Select Your Machine: Choose from our wide inventory of new or workshop-tested used forklifts including electric, lithium-ion, LPG, diesel, or rough-terrain models tailored to your operating capacity.
• Single-Approval Agreement: One simple credit approval covers the forklift, financing terms, and servicing under a single agreement.
• Equity-Building Repayments: Every weekly or monthly payment you make goes directly toward paying down the value of the equipment, giving you an immediate asset on site while preserving your cash flow.
• Comprehensive Service Coverage: Routine servicing and scheduled safety inspections are bundled into your plan. Forklogic handles the preventative upkeep, minimising downtime without unexpected maintenance bills.
• Flexible End-of-Agreement Options: When the term ends, take full ownership of the forklift with a final payment, upgrade to a newer model to keep up with business growth, or return the unit if your site requirements change.

FAQS About Our Rent To Own Forklift Program

Are forklift lease payments tax-deductible? 

In many cases, lease payments can be claimed as a fully tax-deductible operating expense, making rent-to-buy a highly tax-efficient way to acquire equipment. (We recommend verifying your specific eligibility with your accountant).

What happens at the end of my lease agreement? 

Thanks to our flexible end-of-agreement options, the choice is yours! You can make a final payment to take full ownership of the forklift, upgrade to a newer model, or simply return the equipment if your business needs have changed.

Can I lease a second-hand forklift? 

Yes! We offer lease-to-own options on our fleet of high-quality, fully serviced second-hand forklifts, often at highly competitive rates compared to traditional bank loans.
