Located in Birmingham and nearby Wolverhampton, our forklift showroom is easily accessible from both the M6 and M54. If you're coming to our showroom from the North, you can easily get to us using the M1 or M6. When in Willenhall and nearby, look for Acorn street.

Get DirectionsForklift trucks for sale across Manchester and the North West is something Trucks Direct has been doing for years. Supplying everyone from small independents to large national operators across the region.
Trafford Park alone is one of Europe’s largest industrial estates. The demand for reliable material handling kit around Greater Manchester is enormous. We stock the range to meet it:
All units ship with a 12-month LOLER certificate and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Finance options are available too, so you’re not stuck paying upfront.
Yes, Trucks Direct delivers across the North West as standard. Our warehouse in West Bromwich sits close to the M6, making Manchester and its surrounding towns straightforward to reach. Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham – we cover them all. Get in touch with the model you’re after and we’ll confirm availability and a realistic delivery window.
Every unit we sell goes through a thorough inspection process before it leaves our warehouse. On top of that, each forklift ships with a 12-month LOLER examination certificate. You won’t need to arrange this independently; it’s included as part of the purchase, no extra cost.
When lease purchasing a forklift, you make fixed payments over an agreed term and own the truck outright at the end. Contract hire works more like a rental . You use the truck for a set period and hand it back, with no ownership at the end.
Which suits you better depends on your tax position, how long you need the truck and whether ownership matters to your business. Our team can walk you through both.
Yes, electric forklifts are one of our strongest categories for warehouse use in Manchester. We stock lithium-powered counterbalance trucks, reach trucks, three-wheel models, pallet trucks and stackers, all zero-emission and suited to indoor environments.
Our GreenPower and STILL electric ranges are particularly popular. If you’re running a busy warehouse and need something clean and quiet, there’s plenty to choose from.

Most warehouses meet the minimum requirements for forklift compliance. Certificates are filed. Inspections are booked. Operators have been trained, at some point. But compliance alone doesn't prevent accidents. It sets a floor, not a standard. Being struck by a moving...

Choosing between used forklifts and new machines is about ROI and the hidden cost of ownership. A new forklift might have fewer miles against it; however, a used machine could be far better suited to your operational requirements. Purchasing the...
