A Complete Mechanical Handling Solution for UK Businesses

Forklift Hire Solutions Ltd is built for businesses that need reliable mechanical handling support on short notice, for planned work, or for ongoing operations.

We don’t just “hire out machines”. We help clients choose the correct equipment, supply experienced operators where required, and support the job with the practical thinking needed on real sites.

Our work supports sectors including warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, retail distribution, installation teams, construction support, and time-critical site operations.

What Problem We Solve

Clients typically come to us when they need speed, reliability, and the right setup:

• A delivery arrives and there is no forklift available
• Unloading, lifting, or positioning work must be completed urgently
• Internal resources are stretched during busy periods
• The wrong forklift choice causes downtime, damage, or safety risk
• Coordinating equipment, operators, and transport becomes time-consuming

We remove the complexity by acting as a single point of contact — ensuring the job is planned properly and executed safely.

Core Service: Forklift Hire With Operator

Our primary service is the supply of forklifts with experienced operators to complete client tasks. This is ideal when you need the job done professionally without relying on in-house resources.

Common tasks we support

• Loading and unloading HGVs, vans, and containers
• Off-loading deliveries at sites without forklifts
• Machinery positioning, relocation and installation support
• Warehouse support during peak demand
• Handling heavy or awkward loads with the correct equipment

By supplying both the machine and operator, clients benefit from improved safety, reduced downtime, and clear accountability. We can support one-day jobs, short-term tasks, or project-based requirements (subject to availability).

Forklift Hire (Machine Only)

For clients with competent operators on-site, we provide machine-only hire. We help you choose the right forklift based on:

• Load weight and dimensions
• Required lift height and mast type
• Indoor/outdoor environment and ground conditions
• Access restrictions and turning space
• Tyre requirements (including non-marking where needed)
• Attachments such as fork extensions (subject to availability)

The aim is simple: supply equipment that is fit for purpose so your site runs smoothly.

Supply of Forklifts (Buy & Sell)

We also support clients who want to buy or sell forklifts and handling equipment. This service is practical and spec-led: capacity, mast, tyres, attachments, hours, and suitability for your environment.

If you want to sell equipment, the platform allows dealer and private listings with clear specifications to attract serious enquiries.

Transport & Site Moves

We support delivery, collection, and machine moves with planning around access, unloading requirements and timing. This can include scheduled deliveries or time-critical support (job dependent).

Recruitment & Manpower

Where required, we support businesses with forklift drivers and site manpower for peak periods, short-term cover, and project work (subject to availability).

Removal & Storage Support

We assist with warehouse/factory moves, machine relocation and handling-related storage requirements, typically as part of wider mechanical handling projects.

Training & Certification Support

We support access to forklift training, refreshers and certification routes through recognised providers where applicable. This helps businesses improve compliance and reduce risk.

How Our Process Works

1. Tell us the task: what needs lifting/moving and what the outcome should be.
2. Confirm site details: postcode, access, ground conditions, working area and delivery times.
3. Confirm load details: weight, dimensions, lift height, and any constraints.
4. We recommend the setup: correct forklift type + operator support + attachments if needed.
5. Delivery / mobilisation: we coordinate logistics and keep communication clear.
6. Job completion: task carried out safely and efficiently.

What We Need to Quote Accurately

• Site address / postcode + any delivery restrictions
• Load weight and dimensions + lift height required
• Indoor or outdoor use + ground conditions
• Hire duration + working hours
• Any special requirements (non-marking tyres, fork extensions, timed slots)

If you’re unsure, we’ll guide you. The goal is to avoid the wrong machine being sent and protect your schedule.

Safety, Compliance & Confidence

Mechanical handling work has real risk — to people, property, products and timelines. That’s why we focus on the right setup, competent operation, and clear planning. We aim to support safe working practices and reduce preventable incidents by ensuring the solution matches the real site conditions.

Areas We Cover

We support clients across the UK, including Bedfordshire, Luton, London, Milton Keynes and surrounding areas, with wider coverage available depending on requirements and availability.
