Forklifts can be an expensive investment, and purchasing one may not be in your budget right now. Fortunately, you can lease or rent a forklift, rather than purchasing one outright.  Leasing a Forklift When you choose to lease a forklift, you can do so with little to no money down, spreading your payments for the forklift out over a number of years, typically one to five. After your lease expires, you can then exchange the machinery for a newer model, purchase the machinery, or return machinery.  When it comes to forklift leases or forklift rentals in Pittsburgh, Trupar America has top-quality inventory for you to choose from.  Renting a Forklift Unlike leasing, you will not have the option to purchase the machinery after your rental period has ended. If you plan to use the forklift for a short job, you can choose short-term rental options for days, weeks, or months. Long-term rentals are also available that can last for 12 months or more.  What Does it Cost to Rent/Lease a Forklift?
