Need to hire specialist forklift machinery in Stafford?

Davison Forklift Ltd provides forklift hire, forklift sales, and materials handling solutions to businesses across Stafford and the surrounding area. Based in Shifnal, East Shropshire — approximately 18 miles from Stafford — we deliver quality equipment and a dependable service to clients throughout the county town and the wider Staffordshire region. With over 45 years of industry experience and a strong track record serving businesses across this part of the Midlands, we’re a trusted name for forklift hire when you need equipment quickly and reliably.

Stafford is Staffordshire’s county town and one of the region’s most active commercial centres. The town supports a wide range of industries, from logistics and manufacturing to construction, engineering, and professional services. Key business locations including Stafford Park, the Stone Road industrial area, and numerous commercial units throughout the town create consistent demand for materials handling equipment of all types. Beyond the town itself, the surrounding Staffordshire countryside is home to a strong agricultural sector, with farms and rural enterprises that regularly require telehandlers, rough terrain forklifts, and tractor hire. Davison Forklift Ltd serves both environments with the same commitment to quality equipment and responsive service.

We offer a comprehensive range of forklift hire solutions including diesel, LPG (gas), and electric counterbalance forklifts. Whether you need a machine for a single day or a longer-term arrangement, every unit in our hire fleet is thoroughly maintained and safety-checked before dispatch. Next-day delivery to Stafford is available on many hire units (subject to availability), so you can get the right equipment on site without unnecessary disruption to your schedule.

Our hire fleet extends well beyond standard counterbalance forklifts. We supply reach trucks, powered pallet trucks, electric stackers, order pickers, side loaders, and heavy-duty machines for high-capacity applications. For construction, groundworks, and agricultural use, we provide telehandlers and rough terrain forklifts suited to a variety of environments and ground conditions. Tractor hire is available too, making Davison Forklift a practical all-round equipment partner for businesses across the Stafford area.

As authorised UK dealers for Clark and Ausa, we sell new and used forklifts alongside our hire fleet. Our sales team can advise on the most cost-effective route — whether short-term hire, long-term rental, lease, or outright purchase — based on your operational requirements and how frequently you need the equipment.

Davison Forklift Ltd provides forklift servicing, planned maintenance contracts, and rapid-response breakdown support for all makes and models. Our engineers cover Stafford and the wider Staffordshire and Shropshire region, carrying genuine spare parts for leading brands including Clark, Hyster, Linde, Doosan, and Lansing. We prioritise fast turnaround on repairs to keep your operations running with minimum interruption.

We carry out LOLER inspections and thorough examinations of lifting equipment to keep your fleet compliant with current UK health and safety legislation. Flexible finance options — including lease purchase and lease rental — are available for businesses looking to invest in equipment without a large upfront payment.
