Company Overview
About Nissan Forklift Headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan
The Nissan Forklift name dates to 1957, when the first Nissan-built forklift rolled off the production line as part of Nissan Motor's move into industrial machinery. Over the following decades Nissan became an established global forklift manufacturer, known for durable internal-combustion and electric lift trucks used in warehousing, manufacturing and distribution.
The brand's corporate structure changed significantly in the 2010s. Nissan's forklift operations were spun off, and in 2011 to 2012 they were combined with TCM to form UniCarriers. The Nissan Forklift brand was subsequently rebranded under the UniCarriers name, which itself later became part of the Mitsubishi Logisnext group. As a result, many machines still in service carry Nissan Forklift branding while newer equipment is sold under UniCarriers.
Product-wise, the range covers counterbalanced forklifts, warehouse and reach trucks, pallet trucks and other material handling equipment in both electric and engine-powered configurations. The trucks are engineered for demanding duty cycles in warehouses, ports, factories and lumber and building-supply yards.
In Canada, Nissan Forklift and its UniCarriers successor equipment remains common in material handling fleets, and machines are supported through material handling dealers offering parts and service. For rental customers, Nissan-built lift trucks are valued for their reliability and long service life in heavy industrial use.

Why Canada Chooses Nissan Forklift
Nissan Forklift in the Canadian Construction Market
Japanese engineering philosophy has long prioritized reliability, fuel efficiency, and longevity - qualities that resonate deeply with Canadian contractors who depend on uptime in remote, isolated, and extreme-weather job sites. Nissan Forklift's reputation for precision manufacturing and rigorous quality control has made it a preferred brand among owners who need equipment that starts at -35°C in February and performs flawlessly through a 14-hour shift.
In Canada's resource extraction sectors - oil sands, open-pit mining, forestry, and aggregate quarrying - Japanese-engineered equipment is prized for its hydraulic precision and consistent performance. Operators who transition to Nissan Forklift machines frequently note the smoothness of hydraulic controls and the intuitive cab ergonomics that reduce fatigue during long shifts. These qualities translate directly to greater productivity and lower operating costs, which is why Nissan Forklift has earned a loyal following among Canadian heavy equipment owner-operators.
Parts availability through established dealer networks across all provinces ensures that downtime remains minimal. Canadian Nissan Forklift owners benefit from well-stocked regional parts depots, factory-trained technicians, and manufacturer-backed extended warranty programs that protect their investment over the long term.

Our platform's verified owner network means every Nissan Forklift unit listed has been maintained to the standards that protect your production and your crew's safety.

Canadian Job Sites
Where Nissan Forklift Equipment Performs Across Canada
Urban Infill & Residential
Tight access, noise restrictions, and proximity to existing structures define urban construction in Canadian cities. Compact equipment excels where larger machines simply cannot operate.
Landscaping & Site Prep
From residential landscaping to commercial site preparation across Canada's suburbs, compact loaders and skid steers are the workhorses of smaller-scale earthmoving.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Municipal utility work - water main replacement, storm drain installation, and road cuts - frequently requires equipment small enough to work in live traffic corridors and tight rights-of-way.
Cold-Weather Readiness
Canada's winters test every piece of machinery. Temperatures in northern and central Canada regularly drop below -30°C, with extreme cold snaps reaching -50°C with windchill in some regions. Nissan Forklift equipment is built to start, operate, and maintain full productivity in these conditions - with hydraulic systems, engine cooling, and electrical systems engineered for extreme cold as a standard expectation, not an afterthought. On HeavyRentals.ca, Canadian Nissan Forklift owners maintain their machines with winter-grade fluids and cold-climate service packages so you get equipment that performs when temperatures plunge.
Regulatory Compliance
Canada's provincial and federal construction regulations set rigorous standards for equipment safety, emissions, and operator protection. Nissan Forklift machines certified for the Canadian market meet Transport Canada, CSA, and provincial WorkSafe regulations out of the factory. This compliance infrastructure gives contractors the confidence to deploy rented equipment on government contracts, municipal projects, and safety-audited job sites without modification or variance requests. When you rent Nissan Forklift through HeavyRentals.ca, you're getting market-certified equipment from verified Canadian owners.

Rental Advantage
Why Rent Nissan Forklift Instead of Buying?
Zero Depreciation
New heavy equipment depreciates 20-30% in its first year. Renting means you pay only for utilization - no balance sheet liability, no residual value risk on your fleet.
Right Machine Every Job
Different projects need different equipment configurations. Renting from HeavyRentals.ca means you can spec the exact Nissan Forklift model for the task - not make do with what you own.
No Maintenance Overhead
When you rent, maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Skip the dealer relationship management, service scheduling, and parts inventory that comes with ownership.
Scale With Your Pipeline
Whether you have one project or twelve running simultaneously, a rental approach scales your fleet instantly - add machines when busy, return them when idle. No fixed costs.
Nissan Forklift Rental for Canadian Projects
Canada's project-based construction economy - driven by short paving and building seasons, annual municipal budget cycles, and the boom-bust nature of resource extraction - is structurally well-suited to equipment rental. Contractors who rent their Nissan Forklift fleet through HeavyRentals.ca maintain the flexibility to scale operations seasonally without the long-term overhead of ownership.
For smaller contractors, municipalities, and first-time operators, renting also provides access to higher-specification Nissan Forklift machines than their capital budget could support through purchase. A tier-one excavator or high-capacity crane that would be unattainable as a purchase becomes an accessible weekly rental for a specific project phase.
Nissan Forklift maintains an established Canadian dealer network through Available through Canadian material handling dealers, ensuring parts and factory support are available in every major market - adding an additional layer of confidence when renting Nissan Forklift equipment from verified owners on our platform.
