Founded in 1998, A Square Forklift went on to become one of the country’s leading forklift rental operations. In 2006 they became the exclusive Nichiyu distributor in the country. They continued adding further complimentary brands over the years, including Combilift Aislemaster, Bravi Platform Trucks and RCM Industrial Floor Cleaning Equipment. With the acquisition by Bidvest in 2022, A Square Forklift, a division of Bidvest Commercial Products, was at the threshold of even greater things. After the acquisition, A Square continued to be managed by founder Craig Bradford, ensuring a continuation of the superb service levels which have become synonymous with the A Square brand. Added to this reputation for excellence, the resources brought by the industry powerhouse that is Bidvest meant that a new era was dawning for the once fledgling rental business. Having long since been servicing a much broader market than simply forklift rental, A Square’s service offering also includes outright sales of new and used equipment, as well as third party maintenance of all associated brands. The rental fleet grew to in-excess of a thousand units and A Square moved into a shiny new built-for-purpose head office in S&J Industrial Estate, Germiston, early in 2025, complete with a myriad of facilities. These include multiple spray booths, inspection pits, component assembly and fabrication areas, dock levellers, parts storage areas, new equipment warehouse and more.
