Side Loading Forklifts

Handling long or oversized loads like timber, piping, steel, or sheet materials?

A side loading forklift might just be the solution you need.

Designed to lift and transport tricky loads safely and efficiently, these forklifts pick up from the side - perfect for narrow aisles, tight yard layouts, and warehouse racking where space is at a premium.

Unlike conventional forklifts, side loaders carry materials lengthways, cutting down the risk of damage and boosting site safety.

Their knack for manoeuvring in confined spaces makes them the go-to choice for timber yards, steel merchants, manufacturing plants, and distribution centres.

Our fleet includes electric and diesel side loaders with a range of lift capacities and platform widths, so you can find the perfect match for your working environment - whether it's indoors or out, on smooth floors or uneven ground.

Every model offers precise control, smooth travel, and stable lifting - even when dealing with awkward or challenging loads.

With one of the UK's largest fleets of specialist forklifts, we back every side loading forklift hire with expert advice and nationwide availability from our depot network.

When your site calls for safe, accurate handling of long or bulky materials, you can count on us to deliver the right side loader for the job.
