Welcome To Birchwood

Birchwood is the North West’s leading independent forklift truck specialist, and has been established for over 25 years offering a wealth of experience in all aspects of the materials handling industry. Because we are independent, we can offer professional advice in an honest, unbiased and cost-effective way.

All our short term hire fleet undergoes a vigorous pre delivery inspection which complies with current health and safety legislation prior to leaving our premises.

We operate out of our purpose built service centre in Haydock located just 2 minutes from Junction 23 off the M6 giving us excellent access to all our customers in the North West.

Most businesses experience operational peaks, or emergency situations that require additional lift trucks temporarily and at short notice. Short term hire from Birchwood offers a cost effective and flexible solution to the changing needs of your business without committing to a long term investment. Our fleet of 300 trucks can usually be delivered to your site within 24 hours.

With over 30 mobile field engineers geographically split into 4 teams, we have an average response time of 1.5 hours and first time fix of 95%. You can be confident Birchwood can meet your fleets’ servicing needs.
