Modern estates off EastLink

Most of Keysborough’s industry is newer warehousing. The Key Industrial Estate sits at Greens Road and Atlantic Drive, with streets like Naxos Way and Pacific Drive, and there are more warehouses around Indian Drive, Mediterranean Circuit and Fiveways Boulevarde. EastLink is right there at Greens Road, with the Dingley Bypass and Cheltenham Road close by. Tenants are mostly distribution: wholesalers, online retailers, auto parts, print and signage supplies, food and drink, and trade suppliers.

We don’t have a yard in the south-east. Our yards are in Werribee and Epping, and we deliver to you across Melbourne. We’re family owned, we’ve been running since 2009, and our fleet is mainly Toyota.

Matching the forklift to the warehouse

  • Electric forklifts. Quiet, no exhaust and good indoors. Most newer Keysborough warehouses suit them.
  • LPG (gas) forklifts. For hardstand, recessed docks and yard work.
  • Container mast forklifts, 1.8 to 2.5 tonne. For unpacking containers at an on-grade door.
  • Reach trucks. For narrow aisles and high racking. Call for rates.

Tell us your racking height, aisle width and dock setup, and we’ll work out the right machine. See the full hire range.

Peak season and new contracts

Distribution centres get busy in waves: the run-up to Christmas, end of financial year, sales events, or a new client moving stock in. A hire forklift for a few weeks lets you add a pick team or a second dock crew without buying another machine. Book early for the busy months, and tell us how long you expect the extra work to last.

Moving in

If you’re fitting out a new Keysborough warehouse, you often need a forklift before your own fleet arrives, to unload racking, shelving and the first stock. Hire by the week while you set up, then keep it, swap it or hand it back.

Rates

  • From $30/day + GST, with a minimum hire of generally one week.
  • $180 to $250 + GST per week for a late-model Toyota 1.8 to 2.5 tonne container mast forklift. Standard mast forklifts are sometimes cheaper.
  • Delivery from around $180 + GST, depending on suburb, quoted up front.
  • Longer hires. Call for long-term rates.
