Find the Right New Forklift
for Your Operation

Compass Forklifts supplies forklift trucks to Perth businesses that need equipment suited to the work, the environment and the day-to-day demands of the site. Our main focus is EP forklift truck models, with electric, diesel and LPG options depending on what the job actually calls for. If your business is running other brands as well, we can still discuss what makes the most sense.

That matters because conditions across Perth are not the same. A warehouse in Canning Vale will not ask the same things of a forklift as an outdoor yard in Henderson or a mixed-use site around Kewdale. Heat, dust, floor condition, ramps, ventilation and duty cycle all affect what will run well and what will become a maintenance issue later.

Site Capacity Audit

Forklift Trucks, Matched Properly From the Start

We do not recommend forklift trucks based on a rough capacity estimate and a short phone call. The right machine depends on aisle width, turning space, floor condition, lift height, load weight, load centre, ramp use and how hard the forklift will actually be worked. That is why a Site Capacity Audit is often the fastest way to avoid ending up with the wrong unit.

Our priority is new EP forklift trucks, with used forklifts available where value is the main driver, and the machine still fits the job properly. We can also discuss leasing, finance, rent-to-own and short to long-term lease options through hire if buying outright is not the right move.

Support, Fuel Choice and Long-Term Fit

site operations made easy

Fuel type is part of that decision as well. Electric forklift trucks are a strong option for warehouse environments, while lithium-ion is a major focus because it helps with charging, uptime and day-to-day battery management. Diesel is often the better fit for outdoor work and heavier applications, while LPG can make sense for mixed-use sites where quick refuelling matters. We do not default to one fuel type. We match it to the work, the environment and the operating pattern.

We focus on Perth metro for a reason. Support is typically same day or next day, depending on location, workload and timing. If you already know what forklift truck you need, we can quote quickly. If you want to avoid a mismatch, a Site Capacity Audit is the cleaner place to start.

New forklift sales FAQs

What You Need to Know
Before You Buy

Choosing the right forklift comes down to how you use it day to day. Here are some of the most common questions around fuel types, capacity, costs and choosing between new and used.

Should I buy or hire a forklift?

It depends on how often the machine will be used and how you want to manage cash flow. If a forklift is going to be on site every day, buying outright or using finance is often the cleaner long-term option. If the need is shorter term, seasonal or tied to a specific contract, hire usually makes more sense. It also works well when you need a replacement machine quickly and do not want to commit capital too early.

What type of forklift do I need?

That depends on the site, the load and how the machine will actually be worked. Electric forklift trucks are a strong option for warehouse environments, while diesel and LPG still suit heavier outdoor or mixed-use work where ventilation, surface conditions and refuelling speed matter. Lithium-ion has changed the conversation as well, especially for sites that want cleaner operation and simpler battery management. If you want a proper answer rather than a guess, a Site Capacity Audit is usually the fastest place to start.

Do you offer servicing and maintenance?

Yes. Ongoing servicing and maintenance is a core part of what we do. Compass supports Perth metro with planned servicing, compliance checks and breakdown repairs, so the machine is not just supplied and forgotten about. If a forklift drops mid-shift, the priority is getting it assessed quickly and giving you the fastest practical route back to work.

What warranty comes with a new EP forklift?

As Perth’s authorised EP dealer, we supply new EP forklift trucks with factory-backed warranty support, including a 7-year warranty on EP lithium-ion batteries. We will walk you through the warranty coverage before anything is signed, so you know exactly what is included and what support looks like after delivery.

What is the real advantage of Lithium-ion over older electric forklifts?

The big difference is simplicity. Older lead-acid setups usually mean longer charging cycles, more battery handling and more routine maintenance. Lithium-ion is easier to manage day to day. It supports opportunity charging, cuts down battery-related downtime and removes a lot of the upkeep that used to make electric forklifts harder to live with. For the right warehouse, it is often the more practical option, not just the cleaner one.

Which areas do you cover across Perth?

Compass Forklifts supports businesses across the Perth metro area, including major industrial and logistics areas such as Wangara, Canning Vale, Kewdale, Welshpool, Henderson, Malaga and Balcatta. If your site is in the wider metro area, we can usually help. If it is further out, we will tell you straight what is realistic.
