Forklifts for sale

New and used forklifts for sale

New, used and refurbished forklifts and handling equipment, chosen for your site and your budget. We’ll take your old trucks in part exchange, buy a whole fleet, and arrange finance if it suits you better than buying outright.

The challenge

Buying the wrong truck is an expensive mistake

Capacity, lift height, fuel type, tyres, aisle width, attachments. Get one wrong and you’re living with it every day. Most people buying a forklift don’t do it often enough to know every question to ask.

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

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.”

“The job was completed to a very high standard and on time. They supplied a new Gas Fork Lift Truck for the yard and purchased our old trucks.”
