Buying from one company, servicing with another, hiring from a third?

When your trucks are spread across suppliers, nobody sees the whole picture, and you end up doing the chasing.

A truck off the road

When a forklift goes down, the loading stops. You need someone who answers and turns up.

The wrong machine

Capacity, lift height, fuel and aisle width. Buy the wrong truck and you live with it every day.

Being sold to

You want advice and options for your budget, not the most expensive thing in the brochure.

Who we are

We know a truck off the road is a job that stops.

Your Handling Equipment brings together Yorkshire Handling Equipment, selling and hiring forklifts from East Cowick, and CSM Services, established in 1989 and servicing trucks from Standish, near Wigan.

One team now does the lot: advice, the right truck, finance if it suits, servicing, parts and racking. Customers mention the people by name, and the small things, like a seat sensor changed the next morning.

Two depots, one team

Either side of the Pennines, and one number away.

Yorkshire Handling Equipment in the east and CSM Services in the west are now one business. Call whichever depot is nearest, and you get the whole team.

Schematic, not to scale.
