Why do forklifts with the same capacity have different rental rates?
Two forklifts rated at 3 tonnes may have different masts, lowered heights, battery capacities, sideshifters or clamps. These differences determine whether they can pass through your doors, complete a shift and handle your goods. The range name and nominal capacity alone are not enough to set a rental rate.
Describe the heaviest load including its pallet, load dimensions, placement height and actual operating hours. For a new factory, include trial-run and production start dates so delivery can be planned in stages.
Technical specifications to check
| Model / equipment group | Nominal load capacity | Lift height | Energy source / battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPD25-XEY2HA-SI | 2.5 tonnes | 3,000 mm, reference configuration | Lithium 80 V / 271 Ah |
| CPD30-XEY2H2-SI | 3 tonnes | 3,000 mm, reference configuration | Lithium 80 V / 406 Ah |
| CPD50-XEY2-SI | 5 tonnes | 3,000 mm, reference configuration | Lithium 80 V / 406 Ah |
| CPCD50-XRG77 | 5 tonnes | 3,000 mm, reference configuration | Diesel; no traction battery |
Specifications are from ACE C&T's current catalogue and are reference configurations, not confirmation of depot stock. Permitted capacity at working height must follow the actual truck's load chart, load centre and attachment.
Which costs should your budget separate?
Base rental: state VND per truck per month, fleet size, term and operating-hour limits. Check whether the battery, charger and attachments are included. Compare rates only for configurations that meet the same operational requirement.
Deployment costs: separate delivery, collection, loading/unloading and charging-point preparation. Tell the supplier in advance about vehicle access registration and delivery-hour restrictions so transport can be planned.
Operating costs: track electricity or fuel, operator labour and excess-hour charges separately. Maintenance terms should define work, consumables, payment responsibilities and exclusions. VAT must be clearly stated in the quotation.
Understanding monthly and yearly pricing
Monthly rates in a long-term contract
ACE C&T accepts rental terms from 12 months. Here, “monthly rental” describes the rate and billing period; it does not mean a truck can be returned after one month on the same terms.
Preparing an annual budget
If monthly rent is M and stays unchanged for 12 months, annual base rent is 12 × M × number of trucks. Add agreed charges outside the package. Keep a conditionally refundable deposit in a separate cash-flow schedule rather than treating it as an expense already incurred.
Details to send for a more accurate quotation
Purchasing should send one consistent brief: goods, load weight and dimensions, rack height, aisle width, doorway height, floor type, shifts, location, fleet size and required delivery date. Aisle photos and warehouse layouts help avoid unsuitable configurations.
After receiving a quotation, recheck the model, accessories, rental rate, hour limit, delivery/collection and SLA. Changes to lift height or operating hours require a revised quotation before a decision. See also how to compare forklift rental quotations.
Daily, monthly and yearly rental pricing
Rental rates depend on configuration, shifts, operating hours, term and delivery location. Request the same service scope when comparing total costs.
| Billing period | Rate / calculation method | Applicable conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Contact us to check availability | No daily rental package has been published; dividing monthly rent by 30 does not constitute a quotation. |
| Monthly | Quoted by configuration and operating hours | Monthly rate within a contract of at least 12 months; confirm VAT, delivery/collection, energy and maintenance. |
| Yearly | 12 × monthly rate if configuration and rate are unchanged | Add agreed costs outside the rent; multi-year contracts are quoted separately. |

Technical support SLA and handover plan
Agree in writing on fault-reporting contacts, service hours, response times, site attendance and arrangements during downtime. Response time is different from repair completion time; record both so the warehouse can plan goods movements.
ACE C&T confirms the applicable SLA in the quotation or contract based on location, shifts and configuration. Speak with Mr. Lê Đình Lê — 0904.070.313 to agree on response arrangements and maintenance coverage for your factory.
