Stone is a busy market town in the Trent Valley, situated on the A34 between Stafford and the Potteries, with good access to the M6 via the A34 and A51 corridors. The town has a strong and varied commercial base, including food and drink manufacturing, engineering, logistics, distribution, and construction businesses. Stone Business Park and the wider commercial area along the Trent Valley support a diverse range of industries with regular materials handling needs. Beyond the town, the surrounding Staffordshire countryside is home to agricultural and rural businesses that require telehandlers and rough terrain equipment throughout the year. Davison Forklift Ltd regularly serves both the urban commercial sector and the rural operations in and around Stone.

We offer a comprehensive range of forklift hire solutions including diesel, LPG (gas), and electric counterbalance forklifts. Whether you need a machine for a day, a week, or a longer period, every unit in our hire fleet is thoroughly maintained and safety-checked before dispatch from our Shifnal depot. Next-day delivery to Stone is available on many hire units (subject to availability), ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.

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, agricultural, and outdoor work in and around Stone, we provide telehandlers and rough terrain forklifts. Tractor hire is also available, making Davison Forklift a practical all-round equipment partner for businesses of all types across the area.

As authorised UK dealers for Clark and Ausa, we sell new and used forklifts alongside our hire fleet. Our team can advise on the most cost-effective approach for your business — whether short-term hire, long-term rental, lease, or outright purchase — based on your usage and budget.

Davison Forklift Ltd provides forklift servicing, planned maintenance contracts, and rapid-response breakdown support for all makes and models. Our engineers cover Stone and the wider Staffordshire and Shropshire region, carrying genuine spare parts for leading brands including Clark, Hyster, Linde, Doosan, and Lansing. We work to resolve issues quickly and keep your equipment performing reliably day to day.

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