The challenge

Paying outright isn’t always the best use of your money

A forklift is a big purchase. Finance lets you have the right truck now and pay as it earns its keep.

That’s why we start by listening. Tell us what you need, and we’ll tell you honestly what we’d recommend. #JustAsk

What we offer

Forklift finance, from people who know trucks.

Finance lease

Use the equipment for a fixed period for regular payments, without buying it outright.

Hire or lease purchase

Spread the cost over a fixed term, and own the equipment at the end.

Contract hire

A single, fixed monthly fee, with full service and breakdown cover, parts and labour, able to be included.

What customers say

“We hadn’t owned a forklift before so didn’t really know what to look for. The team at Yorkshire Handling Equipment were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They offered me a range of trucks to suit different budgets. The truck I bought has worked perfectly and was great quality. We will definitely be going back when its time to upgrade.”

Why it matters who you choose

When it goes wrong

  • A large outlay that leaves the business short of cash
  • Making do with the wrong truck because the right one costs too much up front

When it’s done right

The truck your operation needs, paid for in a way that suits your cash flow.
