Purchasing a forklift is a significant investment, especially for small and medium-sized companies. Fortunately, there are several ways to obtain funding for this purpose. Our guide will present you with a brief overview of available funding sources and how to apply for them.
Public Funding
In Poland, there are many funding programs available through the government and non-governmental organizations. The most popular of these is the “Entrepreneurship Development Program,” which offers grants for the purchase and modernization of internal transport equipment, such as forklifts. To take advantage of this program, you should apply for funds through your local Labor Office or Municipal Employers’ Council.
ZUS Funding
In 2022, ZUS conducted the competition “Funding for contribution payer activities to improve occupational safety and health – competition no. 2022.01” (competition organized by ZUS)
The pool of funds for 2022 was 90 million zloty, we hope that the program will also be launched again in 2023.

EU Funding
Another way to obtain funds for purchasing forklifts is through EU grants. In Europe, there are widely available financial programs that can be used for purchasing forklifts. This program is the “European Social Fund” (ESF), which is part of the European Labour Market Observatory.
The program enables companies and employees to access additional funding for expanding company assets and modernizing internal transport equipment, such as forklifts. To take advantage of this program, you should contact your local ESF office or European Union office in your region.
Bank Funding
Banks also offer funding opportunities for purchasing forklifts. They usually offer attractive interest rates, as well as special promotions for larger investments. Interest rates can vary greatly and depend on the type of investment and the economic situation of the company applying for credit. To apply for funding, you should contact a bank branch and discuss the terms of a leasing agreement or mortgage loan.
Other Forms of Financing – Leasing
One of the attractive forms of financing a forklift purchase may be leasing – for more information, we invite you directly to our partner Leaselink’s website.
Summary
Purchasing a new forklift is a very important decision regarding a large investment – but there are several methods to apply for additional financing, e.g.: from public, EU or bank funds.
Forklift funding is extremely useful for companies that want to purchase new or renovate existing equipment. Thanks to funding, companies can save on the costs of purchasing and maintaining forklifts, which allows them to use their resources for other purposes.
