We’ve been helping businesses in Leeds and Yorkshire meet their materials handling needs for more than 35 years.
And because of this, many of them have seen an increase in their operations, outputs and profits, and a decrease in unwanted downtime and repair and breakdown costs. We provide cost-effective forklift hire, sales and training in Leeds & Yorkshire.
Increase efficiency with the right trucks for your operation
We help businesses of all kinds find the ideal forklift trucks for their sites. Whether it’s a brand new model from HC Forklifts UK vehicle, or a used vehicle, we pair you up with something that suits your operation exactly.
The process starts with a free site survey, carried out by highly skilled engineers, not salespeople. This means we’ll never recommend a product that doesn’t 100% meet your needs or your budget.
We specialise in supplying used forklifts from leading manufacturers, such as Caterpillar, Yale and Mitsubishi and we’re a UK distributor for new HC Forklifts UK vehicles.
We also offer forklifts on a purchase, hire and lease basis too.
A business needs to run like a well oiled machine and our repairs and servicing will ensure your business keeps running smoothly too.
