Forklift Solutions
At Onekawa Forklift Hire, we know that having the right machine at the right time can make all the difference to how efficiently your business runs. Whether you’re unloading freight, managing a warehouse, or handling building supplies on a worksite, your operation needs reliable lifting power that suits your scale — without blowing the budget.
We specialise in small to medium-sized forklifts ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 tonnes — the ideal size for a wide range of industries including construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics. From casual short-term hire to long-term lease or purchase options, we make it easy for you to get exactly what you need, when you need it
Forklift Hire
Need a forklift for a day, a week, or a few months? We’ve got you covered. Our hire fleet is well-maintained, safety-checked, and ready to work — so you can get on with the job without the stress of ownership or downtime.
Perfect for:
- Short-term project needs
- Seasonal workloads
- Replacement while your own machine is being serviced
Our team can help you choose the right forklift for your environment and usage. We offer flexible hire rates and prompt delivery options to get you moving fast.
Forklift Lease
Looking for a longer-term solution without the upfront cost of buying? Leasing with Onekawa Forklift Hire gives you reliability and performance with predictable costs — plus the peace of mind that we’re handling the maintenance.
Benefits of leasing with us:
- Fixed-term agreements tailored to your business
- Maintenance and servicing support included
- No depreciation or asset risk
- Flexible upgrade paths as your needs change
It’s a smart solution for growing businesses that need reliable equipment without the financial commitment of ownership.
Buy New or Second-Hand
If you’re ready to invest, we offer a solid range of new and second-hand forklifts. Every machine we sell — whether brand new or previously loved — has been thoroughly inspected, serviced, and is ready to go to work.
What we offer:
- New forklifts with full manufacturer warranties
- Quality second-hand forklifts with service history
- Advice on the best fit for your workload and site
- Finance options available (just ask)
We’ll take the time to understand your requirements and recommend the right forklift to match your operational needs — not just what’s sitting in the yard.

Let’s get the right machine working for you.
