Material Handling
Brisbane Forklift Hire
The right forklift for the job.
You’ve got pallets to move, a truck backing in, and a crew waiting on gear.
We’ll sort it.
Brisbane Access hires electric, gas, diesel and rough terrain forklifts across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Every machine leaves the yard serviced, checked and ready to work. And when you need us, you can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Short jobs and long hauls
However long the job
Tell us what you’re lifting and for how long. We’ll tell you straight what makes sense for your forklift hire.
Short-term Forklift hire
Some jobs you plan for months. Others land on your desk at 4pm on a Friday. A container turns up early. A machine goes down. You win the job and suddenly there's three tonne of steel to shift by Wednesday. We get it.
Long-term Fork Lift Hire
Rent long-term and we look after all that. If your work changes, swap to a different machine instead of being stuck with the wrong one.
The fleet
The right machine, For The Right Job
Here’s what we carry and where each one earns its keep.
Electric forklifts
Quiet, clean and no fumes. Made for warehouses, cold storage, food handling and anywhere people are working close by all day.
Gas (LPG) forklifts
The all-rounder. Just as happy inside as out, and quick to swap a bottle and keep going. Not sure what you need? It's usually this one.
Diesel forklifts
Grunt for the outdoors. Yards, laydown areas, timber, steel, and anything heavy that lives outside.
Rough terrain forklifts — 2.5t to 3.5t
Mud, gravel, slopes and half-finished building pads. Where a standard forklift stops being useful and starts being a recovery job.
Container mast forklifts
Built low enough to drive straight into a shipping container and still lift properly once you're inside. Loading and unloading without fighting the roof.
High mast forklifts
For when the racking goes up and up. Extra lift height to reach the top shelf safely.
Attachments
Need more than a set of tynes? We can fit your forklift with:
- Jibs for lifting awkward or slung loads
- Rotators for tipping and turning bins and loads
- Slippers (tyne extensions) for longer or oversized loads
- Container ramps for driving straight into containers from ground level

What size rough terrain forklifts do you have?
Our rough terrain forklifts range from 2.5 tonne to 3.5 tonne.
Can a forklift go inside a shipping container?
Yes, with a container mast forklift. They’re built with a lower mast so they fit inside and still lift properly. Pair it with a container ramp to drive in from ground level.

Yes. We have jibs, rotators, slippers and container ramps.
What areas do you cover?
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, from our yards at Yatala and Kunda Park.
Tell us what you're lifting.
We'll sort the rest.
You don’t need to know the capacity, mast height or fuel type. That’s our job. Tell us what’s on the pallet, where it’s going and what the ground looks like, and we’ll match you with the right machine.
Good service. Every time. No shortcuts.
