Forklift hire close to our Epping yard

Bundoora is better known for its university campuses than for industry, but it has working pockets that need forklifts. University Hill, off Plenty Road near the Metropolitan Ring Road, has office-warehouses and newer food-grade factories along Enterprise Drive and Scholar Drive. There’s a smaller industrial pocket around The Concord, with automotive and trade workshops. And to the west, Bundoora runs into the industrial areas of Thomastown and Reservoir, around Settlement Road and Keon Park.

Our northern yard at 55 Produce Drive, Epping VIC 3076 is close by, so Bundoora is local work for us. Visits to the Epping yard are by appointment only, so call 1300 326 654 before you come. Damoli Forklift Services is a family owned and operated Melbourne business, hiring forklifts since 2009. Our hire fleet is 150+ forklifts, mainly Toyota, and when you ring you deal with the people who own and look after the machines, not a national call centre.

Which forklift suits your Bundoora site

Most of our hire fleet is Toyota. Tell us what you’re lifting and where the forklift will work, and we’ll match the machine to the job. Here’s how it usually breaks down in Bundoora.

Food factories and clean warehouses at University Hill

Many of University Hill’s newer tenants make or pack food, and they often work on the clean side of the building. For indoor work around food and stock, we hire Toyota electric forklifts from 1.8 to 3 tonne, from $30/day + GST, the same as gas. They’re quiet, with zero fumes at the point of use, and have good visibility out the back because there’s no gas bottle. A charger is included with every electric hire. Chargers run off mains power, single or three phase depending on the size of the battery and charger, so let us know what power you have where the forklift will be charged.

Workshops and trade businesses around The Concord

Smaller Bundoora businesses often need one forklift to unload deliveries and move stock between the yard and the shed. A Toyota LPG (gas) forklift from 1.8 to 3 tonne does most of these jobs, and it can run inside and outside through the day. If your own forklift is off the road, a hire machine keeps deliveries moving while it’s fixed.

Factories and loading docks on the Thomastown and Reservoir side

Loading trucks, working a dock and moving pallets across a yard is the kind of work Toyota gas forklifts are made for. They’re powerful all-rounders for yards, loading docks and trucks. If you unload shipping containers, ask for a container mast. Weekly hire of a late-model Toyota 1.8–2.5 tonne container mast forklift is $180–$250 + GST, and a standard mast can cost less.

Warehouses with high racking

If your racking is high and your aisles are tight, a standard forklift may not be the right tool. We hire electric reach trucks for warehouse racking and narrow aisles, with access above 10 m in confined spaces. We also hire scissor lifts for work at height, such as fit-outs and maintenance. Call 1300 326 654 for reach truck and scissor lift rates.

Short-term and long-term hire in Bundoora

Short-term forklift hire covers the jobs that come and go: a container that’s just landed, a stocktake, peak season, a fit-out, or covering your own forklift while it’s off the road. Minimum hire is generally one week. If the work runs longer, keep it longer.

Long-term forklift hire gives you a forklift on site without buying one. The machine stays ours to look after, you get a predictable cost, and you have the option to change capacity if the work changes. Many Melbourne warehouses and factories run this way for months or years. Long-term rates are quoted on enquiry.
