Forklift hire Tarneit: delivered from our Werribee yard
Tarneit is in the City of Wyndham, in Melbourne’s outer west, alongside Hoppers Crossing, Truganina and Wyndham Vale. Builders, trade suppliers, transport operators and warehouse businesses here often need a forklift for a few weeks, when a container lands or a new site is being fitted out. Others run one every working day and would rather not own it.
We don’t have a yard in Tarneit, so we deliver to you. Tell us your Tarneit address and we’ll quote the delivery and pick-up before you book.
Our Werribee yard
The yard behind our forklift hire Tarneit service is at Unit 2/76 Riverside Ave, Werribee VIC 3030. We’re open Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm, and weekends by appointment. Call 1300 326 654 before you come so we know to expect you. You don’t have to collect anything: we deliver the forklift and collect it when you’re done. The yard has its own page for forklift hire in Werribee.
Which forklift suits your site?
Gas and electric hire forklifts both cover 1.8 to 3 tonne. What decides between them is the surface, the ventilation and the length of your shifts.
Toyota LPG (gas) forklifts
Gas forklifts suit sites that are part indoors and part outdoors: loading trucks at a dock, working on a hardstand or moving stock across a gravel yard. They handle long, back-to-back shifts. They make exhaust, so indoors they need good airflow and aren’t the pick for confined spaces. Our gas hire forklifts run from 1.8 to 3 tonne, from $30/day + GST. Ask us about gas cylinders when you book.
Toyota electric forklifts
Electric forklifts are quiet, with no exhaust at the point of use, so they suit enclosed warehouses, food storage and floors where people work close by. A charger is included with every electric hire. Tell us where it will be charged and how long it will run each day. See our electric forklift hire in Melbourne page, or our guide to LPG vs electric forklifts.
Container mast forklifts
Unloading shipping containers calls for a container mast, which is low enough to work inside the container. A late-model Toyota 1.8–2.5 tonne container mast forklift hires for $180–$250 + GST per week, and a standard mast can cost less. Send us the container door height and how often boxes arrive, and we’ll match the mast. Our container forklift hire guide has more detail.
Reach trucks and scissor lifts
For tall racking and narrow aisles, we hire electric reach trucks, with access above 10 m in confined spaces. We also hire scissor lifts for work at height. Call 1300 326 654 for rates, and have your rack height and aisle width ready.

Short-term or long-term hire?
Short-term forklift hire suits the jobs that come and go: containers that need unloading, a busy season, a stocktake, a fit-out or a move, or covering your own forklift while it’s off the road for repairs.
Long-term forklift hire gives you a forklift on site for months or years, without paying to own one. The cost stays predictable, with servicing and breakdown cover included. We quote long-term rates on enquiry, because they depend on the machine, the term and your suburb.
Common reasons Tarneit-area sites hire a forklift
- Containers landing. Hire a container mast by the week and your own forklift stays free for the shed floor.
- Busy periods. A second shift before Christmas, or extra stock at the end of the financial year, is covered by a few weeks of hire.
- Fit-outs and new sites. A new shed or warehouse needs racking, materials and the first stock unloaded.
- Your own forklift is in for repairs. Hire one until yours is back on the job.
Delivery to Tarneit, Truganina, Hoppers Crossing, Wyndham Vale and Manor Lakes
We deliver hire forklifts across Melbourne’s west from our Werribee yard at Unit 2/76 Riverside Ave, Werribee VIC 3030, and across the north from our Epping yard at 55 Produce Drive, Epping VIC 3076 (Monday to Friday, midnight to 4pm). Forklift hire Tarneit is served from Werribee, along with the suburbs around it. Delivery and pick-up are from around $180 + GST, depending on your suburb, and we quote them for your address when you book.
The same yard delivers to sites in Truganina and Hoppers Crossing, and to Wyndham Vale and Manor Lakes. Based in Wyndham Vale? See our forklift hire in Wyndham Vale page. Working across more than one of these suburbs? Tell us where the forklift needs to go.
To help the delivery go smoothly:
- Send us the full site address and unit number, and say if the entrance is on another street.
- Tell us what could slow a truck: a narrow gate, soft ground, a shared car park, a height limit or set delivery windows.
- Have someone on site to meet the driver, and keep a flat, firm spot clear for unloading.
Before the forklift arrives
The person driving the hire forklift needs a current High Risk Work Licence for forklifts. Check it before the hire starts and keep a copy on file. Someone on your team without one? Read how to get a forklift licence in Australia. Every operator should still do a pre-start check each shift, hire machine or not.
For a gas forklift, ask us about gas cylinders when you book, and plan where they will be stored safely on site. For an electric forklift, pick a well-ventilated charging spot near the right power supply. If the forklift will work on gravel or uneven ground, tell us when you book.
