Port-side warehouses and logistics estates
The north-western half of Altona is industrial, and that industrial land carries on into Altona North. On the Altona side, warehouses line Kororoit Creek Road and the streets off it, like Harcourt Road, Burns Road and Modal Place. In Altona North, the precinct takes in Grieve Parade and Millers Road, plus newer logistics estates on Toll Drive and Horsburgh Drive.
With the West Gate Freeway, Princes Freeway and Western Ring Road all close by, and the Port of Melbourne a short way east, a lot of what moves through Altona is containers and pallets. High-clearance warehouses with recessed docks mean two kinds of work: unloading at the dock, and stacking high inside.
Altona is looked after from our Werribee yard at Unit 2/76 Riverside Ave, the closer of our two yards. Damoli is family owned and operated, so you’ll deal with the people who own the machines.
Machines for dock and racking work
We have 150+ Toyota forklifts in the hire fleet, plus reach trucks and scissor lifts:
- Gas (LPG) forklifts. For docks, hardstand and container unloading, where the forklift works outside as much as in.
- Electric forklifts. For indoor pick-and-pack and storage areas, with no exhaust where your people are working.
- Reach trucks. For high-clearance warehouses with narrow aisles. Call 1300 326 654 for rates.
- Scissor lifts. For racking repairs, lighting and fit-out work at height. Call for rates.
Tell us your top beam height and aisle width and we’ll point you to the right machine. See the full hire range.
Extra machines for busy periods
Short-term hire covers a run of containers, an end-of-financial-year stocktake, or an extra forklift for a new contract.
Long-term hire keeps a forklift on site without tying up money in buying one. Forklift hire starts from $30/day + GST.
