Types of Forklift for Different Sectors

No matter what industry you’re in, having the right forklift is essential for handling materials successfully.

At East Midlands Forklifts, we offer a wide range of forklifts suited for different sectors, including construction, retail, warehousing and farming. Whether you’re in Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, Loughborough or elsewhere in the East Midlands, we can provide the ideal forklift for your needs.

Forklifts for construction

On busy construction and building sites, you need a forklift that can handle rough terrain and heavy loads. Our range of durable counterbalance forklifts are perfect for the demands of construction, allowing you to move materials and equipment with ease.

Forklifts for retail

In the fast-paced retail sector, you need materials handling equipment that can keep up. Our powered pallet trucks and reach trucks are ideal for retail environments, allowing you to quickly and efficiently move stock and restock shelves.

Efficient warehousing depends on having the right forklifts for the job. We provide reach trucks and order pickers for maximising storage — everything from powered pallet trucks to counterbalance forklifts.
