Warehouse vehicle and material handling equipment leasing
Flexible leasing for your whole material handling fleet
Your operation runs on more than forklifts. CHG-MERIDIAN's material handling equipment leasing covers the full fleet of equipment from one independent partner.
- Any brand, one agreement
- Terms based on how you actually use the equipment
- Forklifts, pallet movers, and automation in a single program
- Capital stays free instead of tied up in ownership
Right machines, right terms, no ownership liability.
Why is leasing material handling equipment better than buying?
Buying ties up capital in machines that lose value. Renting leaves gaps and adds up over time. Leasing sits in between, with the equipment you need and the flexibility to change it.
What does a material handling equipment lease cover?
Material handling equipment leasing covers far more than the funding. A bank or a captive lender writes the loan and steps back. We stay involved across the whole life of your fleet, from the first analysis to the day each unit retires. That is the difference between borrowing money and running a managed program, and it is where most of the savings come from.
One lease also covers the full range of warehouse material handling equipment you run:
- Counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, pallet trucks, and order pickers
- Tow tractors and other powered industrial trucks
- Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), leased on the same terms as the rest of the fleet
- Racking, conveyors, and the charging infrastructure that keeps the fleet working
Whatever the mix, and whoever builds it, it sits under one contract and one clear view of cost.
What types of material handling equipment does CHG-MERIDIAN lease?
If it moves a load, we can lease it. CHG-MERIDIAN leases material handling equipment across every major manufacturer, from a single forklift to a mixed fleet running several sites. Here is the range.
- Electric counterbalance forklifts
- Internal combustion forklifts (LPG and diesel)
- Rough terrain forklifts
- Reach trucks and stackers
- Order pickers
- Walkie and rider pallet trucks
- Turret and very narrow aisle (VNA) trucks
- Telehandlers
- Container handlers and reach stackers
- Side loaders and yard tractors
- Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
- Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- Lithium ion and lead acid battery fleets
- Charging and opportunity charging infrastructure
- Attachments including clamps, rotators, and fork positioners
Mixed brands and mixed machine types are normal for us. You pick what fits each job, and we build one lease around the whole fleet.
What is included in a CHG-MERIDIAN material handling equipment lease?
We review the age, use, structure, and cost of your current fleet, so financing decisions start from real data rather than guesswork.
We source equipment and standardize contracts across countries, so fleets that span sites follow one process instead of many.
Every asset, cost, and contract sits in one platform. You see what you run, what it costs, and when each unit is due for replacement.
We model total cost of ownership and build a replacement schedule that fits your budget and your real utilization, not a fixed calendar.
When equipment retires, we manage the return and remarket or recycle it, so value is captured and disposal is handled responsibly.

Frequently asked questions: material handling equipment leasing
A rental fills a gap for a few days or weeks. A lease puts a managed fleet in your operation for the long run, with support, visibility, and a planned exit for every unit, without locking capital into depreciating assets.
Forklifts, reach trucks, pallet trucks, and order pickers, along with tow tractors, automated guided vehicles, and autonomous mobile robots, plus the warehouse and automation systems that support them.
Yes. CHG-MERIDIAN works independently of equipment makers, so you choose the best trucks and systems for your operation and we structure the lease around them.
Yes. Different brands and machine types sit under one agreement, so you manage one contract instead of a separate arrangement for every vehicle type.
As your business volumes change, you add, swap, or upgrade units without buying new equipment or carrying idle assets. The agreement flexes with the operation rather than locking you into a fixed fleet.
You can return it, extend the agreement, or purchase it. Returned equipment is remarketed or recycled, so residual value is recovered rather than lost.
Yes. CHG-MERIDIAN runs standardized leasing and contract management across 35 countries, so fleets spread across several sites or markets follow one process.
