Forklifts Australia operates three major branches across the country. Our Perth branch is at 22 Enterprise Court, Canning Vale WA 6155. Our Brisbane branch is located at 17 Platinum Street, Crestmead QLD 4132. Our Sydney branch is at 19-25 Anne St, St Marys NSW 2760. All branches maintain extensive equipment stock and provide full sales, hire, and after-sales support services.

Electric forklifts are ideal for indoor use, warehouses, and environments where zero emissions and low noise are important. They have lower running costs and require less maintenance. Diesel forklifts are better suited for outdoor applications, rough terrain, and heavy-duty tasks requiring higher lift capacities. They offer greater power and can operate continuously without recharging. Our team can help you choose the right option based on your work environment, load requirements, and budget.

Choosing the right forklift capacity depends on the maximum weight you need to lift, the lift height required, the type of loads being handled, and your operating environment. As a general guide, standard warehousing typically needs 1.5 to 3.5 tonne capacity, while heavy industrial applications may require 5 to 18 tonnes or more. Our experienced team can assess your specific requirements and recommend the most suitable equipment to ensure safety and efficiency.

A telehandler (telescopic handler) is a versatile machine with a telescoping boom that can reach forward and upward, making it ideal for construction sites, agriculture, and industrial applications where loads need to be placed at height or at a distance. We stock telehandlers from leading brands including JCB and Merlo, with various reach and capacity configurations. Telehandlers are the best choice when you need more flexibility than a standard forklift can provide.

We provide comprehensive after-sales support including scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, spare parts supply, and technical assistance.

Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your equipment, ensures compliance with Australian safety standards, and minimises costly downtime. Contact your nearest branch to discuss a maintenance plan tailored to your fleet.

While our branches are located in New South Wales, Western Australia, and Queensland, we’re able to service and deliver equipment anywhere in Australia, covering both metropolitan and regional areas. Delivery timeframes and costs depend on your location and the equipment required. Contact us on 13 8000 for a delivery quote to your specific site.

Yes, in Australia you need a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate a forklift. This is issued by your state or territory WorkSafe authority after completing an accredited training course and passing both a written and practical assessment. The licence classes include LF (forklift truck) for standard forklifts and LO (order picking forklift) for order pickers. It is the operator's and employer's responsibility to ensure all operators are properly licensed.

We are proud distributors of several world-leading forklift and material handling brands. Our primary brand is UN Forklift, backed by over 40 years of industry experience. We also distribute Kalmar and Heli for heavy-duty port and industrial equipment, JCB and Merlo for telehandlers, Manitou for versatile material handling, Liftsmart for rough terrain diesel forklifts, and Hyster for electric pallet trucks and warehousing solutions.

Key safety features to look for include an overhead guard for operator protection, a load backrest to prevent loads from falling onto the operator, good visibility from the cab, reliable braking systems, lights and alarms for pedestrian awareness, seatbelts, and stability systems. Modern forklifts from brands like UN Forklift also offer features such as automatic speed reduction on turns and advanced ergonomic controls. Always ensure any forklift you hire or purchase meets current Australian safety standards.
