- Typical capacity 1.5 – 3.0 t
- Floor level
- Goods in, loading bays
Forklifts for sale and hire
Forklift truck sales, hire and every forklift for sale UK-wide from one Grimsby base. Capacity, environment, shift pattern and load all matter, so start with the work, then choose the machine.
Three ways to get a machine
Equipment types
02
Stackers
Lift and place, without the footprint.
Pedestrian and ride-on stackers put pallets into racking in stores where a counterbalance would never fit.
- Typical capacity 1.0 – 2.0 t
- Lift to around 5 m
- Narrow stores, back of house
03
Electric counterbalance
Quiet. Clean. Ready for every shift.
Lithium and lead-acid trucks for indoor and clean-yard work: no emissions, less noise, and running costs that fall year on year.
- Typical capacity 1.0 – 5.0 t
- Lift to around 7 m
- Indoor and yard
04
Diesel & LPG counterbalance
Built for the yard, whatever the weather.
Engine-powered trucks with the torque for ramps, rough ground and long outdoor shifts.
- Typical capacity 1.5 – 10 t
- Diesel or LPG
- Yards, ramps, timber, builders' merchants
05
Heavy trucks
When the load is measured in tonnes, not pallets.
High-capacity counterbalance trucks for steel, containers, precast and everything the standard fleet cannot lift.
- Typical capacity 10 – 25 t and above
- Diesel
- Ports, steel, precast
06
Reach trucks
Reach higher. Store more.
Reach trucks work tight aisles and tall racking, putting pallets away at heights a counterbalance cannot get to.
- Typical capacity 1.4 – 2.5 t
- Lift to around 12 m
- Racked warehousing
07
Order pickers
Pick the order, not the whole pallet.
Low, medium and high-level pickers bring the operator to the stock for fast, accurate case picking.
- Low to high level
- Lift to around 10 m
- Distribution, e-commerce, parts
08
VNA trucks
Every aisle narrower. Every rack fuller.
Very narrow aisle trucks turn the forks, not the truck, so you can run aisles under two metres and stack to the roof.
- Aisles from around 1.6 m
- Lift to around 15 m
- High-density storage
09
Scissor lifts
A stable platform, wherever the job is.
Electric and rough-terrain scissor lifts for maintenance, installation and fit-out at height.

Boom lifts
Up, over and across.
Articulating and telescopic booms reach up and out around obstacles, for work no scissor can get to.

- Articulating or telescopic
- Construction, cladding, maintenance
11
Cleaning equipment
A clean floor is a safe floor.
Ride-on sweepers and scrubber-dryers that keep the floor part of the operation, not a hazard in it.
