About

Grimsby forklift specialists since 1982

Four decades supplying, maintaining and supporting the equipment that keeps operations moving — from one base, with our own fleet and our own engineers.

Our approach

How we work

Good service is more than getting the job done quickly. It is honesty, trust, an understanding of what an operation actually needs, and genuine value for money.

Those are the principles everyone here turns into action every day — for our customers, and for the thirty-five people who make up this company.

Sales, hire, service and training

What we do

Most companies in this trade do one of these things. We are forklift specialists in Lincolnshire doing all of them from one base in Grimsby, which is the whole point: the engineer who services your truck works for the same company that sold it to you and trained the operator driving it.

  • Forklift sales

    New and used forklifts from nine manufacturers, specified around the work rather than the price list.

  • Forklift hire

    Short-term for a peak, long-term for a contract, and cover when a machine of yours is off the road.

  • Servicing, repairs and LOLER

    Our own engineers, on all makes, on call 24 hours a day, with parts for the fleet behind them.

  • Forklift training

    An RTITB Accredited Partner running counterbalance, reach, IPAF and PASMA courses at our Grimsby centre or on your site.
