New Forklift Sales
Proudly independent H&F have, over many years built up strong relationships with several equipment manufacturers to ensure that we can offer our customers access to world class equipment to suit any requirements.
Our Forklift Trucks include diesel, electric and gas.
H&F are a main dealer for Doosan, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of materials handling equipment.
At H&F we’re very mindful that customers put their faith in our expertise when we specify new equipment. This is why we only supply machines that we are confident will do the job, that we are familiar with & that we stock forklift parts for. In other words it’s not just a new machine you are buying but the ongoing back up from H&F.

Used Forklift Sales
When you buy a second hand forklift truck it’s not just the truck you need to consider, it’s who you’re buying it from. Are they well established? Can they look after the truck for you in the event of any problems? Can you try the used forklift truck on your site before you buy it? Will they still be there in a year’s time? H&F have been trading since 1976 and during that time have sold thousands of new forklifts and used forklifts to many satisfied customers.
Whatever industry you are in and however small or large your requirement, H&F can source the right second hand equipment for your needs. Our experience means that we can review your requirements and determine the best and most suitable truck within your budget.
You then have the peace of mind that H&F can look after your truck on an ongoing basis. One of the building blocks of H&F’s success has been our long term relationships with our customers. We’re not just looking to sell you a forklift; we want to be looking after your material handling requirements now and into the future.
We sell used forklift trucks to South Cheshire, Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent, Macclesfield, Congleton, Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Newcastle Under Lyme, Uttoxeter, Derby, Shrewsbury, Telford, Burton.

Forklift Hire
For over thirty five years H&F Lift Trucks have provided local businesses with long and short term forklift hire.
At H&F we have a casual hire fleet numbering over 100 trucks covering a wide range of specifications. We can supply electric, LPG or diesel counterbalance machines with lift capacities of up to 7000kg, as well as reach trucks with a variety of mast configurations. All of our trucks are inspected and maintained to our own high standards.
Whether you require a truck for 1 day, a year or on an ongoing basis, casual hire give you total flexibility. As we provide our own forklift transport we can offer a very rapid response. Forklift servicing and maintenance are all included in the price.
This high quality, dependable service is what has given H&F its leading name in the market and is the reason so many customers come back to us again and again for their forklift requirements.
We provide forklift hire to Staffordshire, South Cheshire, Macclesfield, Congleton, Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Stoke, Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Uttoxeter, Derby, Shrewsbury, Telford, Burton.

Forklift Finance
H&F have a close working relationship with several leading finance houses. This enables us to offer very competitive and individually tailored finance packages to our customers. The two main finance types offered to H&F customers are:
CONTRACT HIRE WITH MAINTENANCE
Contract hire is a fixed term agreement, usually between 3 and 7 years with monthly rental that include forklift maintenance, servicing and repairs. 100% of the rentals paid can be offset against taxable income. This is a one-stop solution and is widely viewed as the most hassle free, cost effective and tax efficient method of running forklifts. You can enjoy simple budgeting and just hand back the trucks at the end of the term. Agreements that qualify as ‘operating leases’ are not shown as liabilities. So they don’t adversely impact on gearing ratios within your accounts.
LEASE PURCHASE
This offers the end user eventual ownership of the equipment after spreading the cost and interest over an agreed period (normally 2 to 7 years) through fixed monthly payments. This asset is put on your balance sheet and offset ‘capital allowances’ against taxable income at a rate of 25% per annum on the reducing balance. (‘Small companies’, as defined by the DTI, can offset 40% of the equipment value in the first year). All of the interest charges can be set against taxable income. At the outset of the agreement you pay the total VAT on the equipment cost, together with any deposit. This is ‘on balance sheet’ funding so the outstanding payments are shown on your balance sheet as a liability. Maintenance and repairs are not included in the cost.
So if you don’t want to place constraints on your cashflow with the costs of material handling equipment why not talk to H&F and ask us if we can help.

Forklift Service & Repair
H&F have an unrivaled reputation for reliable servicing and repair solutions, however demanding your application is.
At H&F we understand how important it is to be able to move materials frequently and rapidly on site. Our clients want a reliable, seamless materials handling service which doesn’t let them down. However, sometimes the worst happens and a forklift can break down unexpectedly. Centrally controlled from our workshop, the team at H&F can swiftly respond to your breakdown to help minimize disruption to your business.
Repairs and servicing can be carried out on-site by our expert team of engineers and we have our own low loader for trucks that need to be brought back to the workshop. All makes and models of forklift and truck are handled and the service engineers can carry out all types of work from minor adjustments to major rebuilds. There is also a traction battery and charger repair service on hand if required.
We find this level of response and care provides our customers with the best forklift repair service and breakdown cover in the industry. We target a four hours max response time and in desperate circumstances where the forklift cannot be repaired we can even provide our customers with a replacement forklift whilst we get their up and running.
Furthermore, to help prevent unnecessary breakdowns we offer a regular preventative maintenance service to keep your new and used forklifts in the best working order. This can prevent costly repairs and is personalised to suit your specific vehicle’s use and application. We can also arrange for regular, accredited thorough examinations of your fleet to satisfy LOLER regulations and HSE requirements.

Forklift Parts
A key component of H&F’s business is the Parts Department at our Stone depot. Our professional team can help you with any aspect of your forklift requirements, including sourcing parts and spares for your forklift.
At H&F we understand how important it is to have a reliable forklift on site. However, sometimes forklifts and machinery can break down, which is when a part needs to be replaced. Our main depot has extensive stocks available for all makes and model of forklifts, and if we don’t have an item in stock we can usually get it for the next day.
Our expert team are always on hand to offer help and advice to make sure we identify the correct parts you require. Our experience over the last 35 years, combined with our relationships with manufacturers, and web based international parts sourcing means that the team at H&F can respond swiftly to your parts requirements, however urgent it may be, and attempt to get you back on schedule with minimal disruption involved.
We accept all major credit cards and can ship parts directly to you. We also have a parts counter at Stone so you can visit us personally to pick up your forklift parts. Alternatively, you can order via email or telephone.
For more technical and complex forklift issues, repairs and servicing can also be carried out on-site by the H&F team of engineers, and we have our own low loader for trucks that need to be brought back to the workshop. Forklift servicing is a key area of our business and we find that our level of response (four hours breakdown time) and customer care provides our clients with the best forklift repairs service and breakdown cover in the industry.
