Forklift Hire
Designed for stability, manoeuvrability, and strength, forklifts are equipped with a powerful lifting mechanism and sturdy forks that can be raised and lowered to transport various materials and products. They come in different sizes and capacities, allowing them to handle loads ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tons.
Forklifts excel at optimizing productivity and streamlining operations in warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. They can navigate tight spaces efficiently, transport goods, load and unload trucks and organise inventory, reducing manual labour and saving time.
Forklifts have become an integral part of modern material handling processes, revolutionizing logistics operations’ efficiency and effectiveness. Their versatility, strength, and safety features make them an essential asset in industries that rely on the efficient movement and organization of heavy loads, contributing to increased productivity and overall operational success.

Forklift Hire FAQs
Your Questions, Answered.
When choosing a forklift for hire, you should consider factors such as the weight and size of the loads being moved, the conditions of the environment (indoor or outdoor), and the size of the space you are working in. You should also consider the fuel type (electric, petrol/diesel, or LPG), the type of tires (pneumatic or solid), and the height of the lift.
In general, forklifts are not allowed on public roads. However, in some cases, they may be driven on public roads for short distances if they meet certain requirements, such as having lights, horns, and reflectors.
To hire and use a forklift in the UK, you will need a valid Forklift Truck Operator (FLT) licence. This licence is issued by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or other recognised organisations and shows that the operator has received proper training and has the skills and knowledge to operate the forklift safely. It's important to note that forklift operation is regulated by health and safety legislation, so it's essential to ensure that you or your employees have the necessary qualifications and licences to legally operate the equipment.
