Western Downs is a residential and commercial area on the western side of Stafford, well connected via the A34 and close to the M6 — making it convenient for businesses serving the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands markets. Stafford itself is a busy county town with a diverse commercial base, spanning logistics, manufacturing, construction, and trade operations across multiple business and industrial sites. The surrounding countryside also transitions quickly into agricultural Staffordshire, with farms and rural businesses operating across the area that regularly need handling equipment. Whether you’re based on a commercial estate, a trade premises, or a rural site near Western Downs, Davison Forklift Ltd has the right machine for your requirements.

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 or a longer arrangement, every unit in our hire fleet is thoroughly maintained and safety-checked before dispatch from our Shifnal depot. Next-day delivery to Western Downs and Stafford is available on many hire units (subject to availability), keeping disruption to your business to a minimum.

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. Tractor hire is also available, making Davison Forklift a practical all-round equipment partner for businesses across the Stafford area regardless of site type or sector.

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