Overview

Project Dry Hire's 16-tonne forklift range is built for the heavy end — container handling, heavy component placement, and site work where standard counterbalance capacity isn't enough. The fleet covers diesel-powered heavy counterbalance units, giving project teams access to serious lift capacity from a single source. All machines are supplied on a long-term dry hire basis with full compliance documentation — plant risk assessment, SOP, and operator familiarisation — and scheduled servicing included through our weekly service fee. When the job demands real capacity, we'll have the right machine for it.
