Which forklift Capacity Do You Need?
We rent forklifts from 3 ton up to 18 ton. Use this guide to see which capacity class usually fits the load, then send us the details and we will confirm the machine.
| Capacity class | Typical loads | Where it is usually hired |
|---|---|---|
| 3 ton | Standard pallets, cartons, bagged goods, light general cargo | Warehouses, Freezone units, container stuffing and unstuffing |
| 5 ton | Heavy pallets, block and tile packs, drums, small machinery | Building material yards, factories, site stores |
| 7 to 10 ton | Steel bundles, pipes, coils, crated machinery, precast items | Fabrication yards, steel stockists, industrial plants |
| 16 to 18 ton | Heavy machinery, large fabrications, long or oversized loads | Port laydown areas, heavy industry, project logistics yards |
A forklift's rated capacity falls as the load centre moves out or the lift gets higher, so a long or bulky load can need a bigger machine than its weight suggests. Tell us the weight, the dimensions, and the lift height.

3–18 Ton Forklift Rental FAQs
Which forklift capacity do I need?+
We rent forklifts from 3 ton up to 18 ton. A 3 ton forklift handles most palletised goods and general cargo; heavier machinery, steel, and oversized loads need a larger machine. Rated capacity reduces as loads get higher or longer, so tell us the heaviest load and the lift height and we will confirm the right machine.
Can I hire a forklift without an operator?+
Yes, if your staff hold the required licence to operate a forklift. Otherwise we supply the forklift with our operator.
Can a forklift load and unload containers?+
Yes. The 3 ton class is commonly used for container stuffing and unstuffing. Let us know if you need to drive inside the container so we can check mast height and clearance.
Do you rent heavy forklifts above 10 ton?+
Yes. Our forklift range goes up to 18 ton for heavy machinery, steel, and oversized loads. Heavy forklifts are moved to site on a low-bed trailer, so share the site location and access when you ask for a quote.
How long can I hire a forklift for?+
Daily, weekly, or monthly. Short hires suit shipment peaks, stock counts, and breakdown cover; monthly hire is the usual choice for projects and for sites far from Sohar such as Duqm and Salalah.
