Local forklift hire — based in Shifnal, serving the wider region

If you’re searching for forklift hire near you, Davison Forklift Ltd is one of the region’s most established and well-equipped local providers. Based at Yew Tree Farm in Shifnal, East Shropshire, we have been supplying forklift hire, forklift sales, and materials handling solutions to businesses across the Midlands for over 45 years. Our central location means we can reach a large part of Shropshire, Staffordshire, and the West Midlands quickly — often with next-day delivery available on our hire units.

We regularly serve businesses in Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Stafford, Cannock, Bridgnorth, Newport, Lichfield, Rugeley, Dudley, and across the surrounding towns and villages. Whether you’re on a major industrial estate, a rural farm, a construction site, or a smaller commercial premises, we’re likely already operating close to you — and we’re equipped to respond fast when you need equipment at short notice.

Our hire fleet covers the full range of materials handling equipment. We offer diesel, LPG (gas), and electric counterbalance forklifts for warehouse and outdoor use, as well as reach trucks, powered pallet trucks, electric stackers, order pickers, and side loaders for more specialist warehouse applications. For outdoor, construction, and agricultural work, we provide telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, and tractor hire. Whatever your industry — logistics, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, or trade — we have the right machine ready to deploy.

As authorised UK dealers for Clark and Ausa, we also sell new and used forklifts for businesses where ownership makes more long-term sense than hire. Our team can walk you through the options and help you identify the most cost-effective solution based on your usage, your site, and your budget.

Beyond hire and sales, Davison Forklift Ltd provides forklift servicing, planned maintenance contracts, and rapid-response breakdown support for all makes and models across our service area. We carry genuine spare parts for leading brands including Clark, Hyster, Linde, Doosan, and Lansing, and our engineers attend sites throughout Shropshire, Staffordshire, and the West Midlands. We also carry out LOLER inspections and thorough examinations of lifting equipment to keep your fleet legally compliant.

Flexible finance options — including lease purchase and lease rental — are available for businesses looking to invest in equipment without a large upfront cost.
