Frequently asked questions
Where do you deliver?
Nationwide.
How long does delivery take?
Same day delivery is available.
What happens if my forklift breaks down?
Call us. Our target is within 60 minutes Auckland wide and 120 minutes nationwide. If you’re on a lease with us, a breakdown is covered. Fair wear and tear or mechanical failure under normal operating conditions, we’ll get a replacement to you straight away. No downtime charges while the machine is being repaired, provided you let us know promptly. For larger fleets, we can arrange a standby machine on site so there’s always a backup ready. If your forklift is down right now, call 0800 367 544.
Do you offer long term hire?
Yes, we do. Hire terms at AFH run from as short as one hour right through to 5 years or longer, so there is a lot of flexibility depending on what you need.
Do you sell second hand forklifts?
Yes, we do. We sell used forklifts from our ex-hire and ex-lease fleet, and we have recently started a dedicated refurbishment programme as well. Some of those refurbished machines go into outright sale, and others go into a second-tier lease offering at a more accessible price point.
Do you provide forklift operators?
Yes, we can provide a licensed operator with a hire machine. This is particularly useful for one-off jobs or situations where you do not have a qualified operator on site.
