Forklifts for Dandenong’s factories
Dandenong South is mostly manufacturing and warehousing. Factories line Abbotts Road, Hammond Road, National Drive and Frankston–Dandenong Road, and newer estates, such as those off Portlink Drive, sit close to EastLink and the South Gippsland Highway. You’ll find food processors, plastics and packaging plants, truck body and trailer builders, steel fabricators and timber suppliers, many of them running more than one shift.
Our yards are in Werribee and Epping, and we deliver across Melbourne, Dandenong included. We’re family owned, we’ve been running since 2009, and our fleet is mainly Toyota.
Machines for production and dispatch
- LPG (gas) forklifts. The usual pick for factory floors that open onto a yard: raw materials in, finished goods out.
- Electric forklifts. For food production and indoor storage where exhaust isn’t welcome.
- Container mast forklifts, 1.8 to 2.5 tonne. For unpacking imported parts and materials straight from the container. See our guide to container forklift hire.
Tell us what you’re lifting and where, and we’ll match the machine. See the full hire range.
Extra capacity when production lifts
Manufacturers often need a second or third forklift for a few weeks: a big order, a new contract starting, a plant move, or a shutdown while racking is reorganised. Hiring by the week covers the gap without adding a machine to the books. When the work settles, hand it back or keep it on long-term hire. Give us the start date and a rough end date, and we’ll line up delivery and pick-up.
Cover while your own forklift is in for repair
If one of your forklifts is waiting on parts, a hire machine keeps the line moving. We also service forklifts on site in Dandenong: see forklift service in Dandenong. The service special is $345 + GST (normally $420 + GST) for gas, petrol and electric forklifts up to 3 tonnes, anywhere in Melbourne. We mainly work on Toyota. For other makes, call and ask.
