Our instructors can provide forklift training in Brighton, onsite or offsite, for all Nexen models.

This is an important forklift service for customers and clients in the Brighton area. Our technicians, forklift operators and instructors have all qualified to issue Lifting Operations and Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) certificates.

This is your assurance of a complete forklift service that stays in-house with full onsite and offsite capabilities.


What is your area coverage?

Our handy location in Three Bridges gives us access to all parts of Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex and Kent. Located just 25 miles from Brighton, we see the South Coast as one of our main service areas. We provide a professional forklift service to commercial and industrial clients across this region, not only through forklift sales and forklift hire, but by also attending workplaces to provide onsite forklift training.

While we train on a local and regional basis, we will, of course, sell or hire forklifts on a full nationwide scale.


Can you offer a same-day forklift hire service?

Yes. We can provide a same-day forklift hire service subject to the availability of machinery from our current stock range.


Which forklift training courses can you provide?

As part of our complete forklift service, customers in the Brighton area can sign up to one of our forklift training courses, approved by the Road Transport Industry Training Board (TITB) and accredited by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE). We see training as an important complement to our forklift sales service, and to forklift hire.

What matters most, however, is a knowledge that our clients, and their operators, can navigate around workspace in a safe, controlled and compliant manner.


Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Our forklift sales team is always happy to offer free, no-obligation estimates for all forklift purchases and for forklift hire, as well as for warehouse fitouts and for forklift service work and machinery repairs. Contact us by phone or by email for practical help and advice.

We work hard to keep our prices affordable and accessible to all.


Do you have company insurance?

Yes. We have comprehensive insurance to give our customers, in and around all Brighton areas, complete peace of mind whenever they use our forklift services. This includes public and product liability insurance cover up to £10 million. It’s important that our clients have complete confidence in our services, and levels of insurance like these go a long way in gaining their trust.

We want you to trust us too, and to choose us for all of your forklift sales, hire and training needs.
