About usLifting standards. Delivering results.
A material handling team that keeps things simple: quality work, fair prices, and support you can actually count on.
New name. 20+ years on the tools.
Forklift Lads is a new business built on 20+ years of hands-on experience in the material handling industry. We're an independent specialist, not tied to any single manufacturer, working across all makes and models to keep your operation running safely and productively.
Based on the Wirral and covering the Wirral, Merseyside, Cheshire, Deeside & the wider North West, we handle planned servicing, emergency breakdowns, tyres, parts, attachments and LOLER examinations for all makes and models, a single point of contact for your whole fleet.
We work with trusted suppliers and quality parts for reliability and performance, at small prices, without compromising on service. When something goes wrong, we respond fast, because we know downtime costs you money. Your equipment is our priority, and your success is the result we're working towards.
Why Forklift Lads were created
Forklift Lads was created because we believed the industry could do better.
Over the years, we've seen the cost of maintaining material handling equipment continue to rise, while the level of personal service customers receive doesn't always rise with it. Large organisations naturally carry large overheads, multiple layers of management and commercial targets, but ultimately, those costs are paid for by the customer.
We wanted to build something different.
A business where customers pay for the engineering, parts and support they actually need. Where you can speak to someone who understands your equipment. Where keeping your operation moving matters more than corporate targets.
We don't have huge corporate overheads or layers of management. That allows us to concentrate on what matters: good engineers, quality parts, responsive support and competitive prices.
Forklift Lads might be a new name, but the experience behind it isn't.
