EP Equipment in Lisburn

Electric forklifts and warehouse equipment for Lisburn

Lisburn sits where the M1 meets the A1 to Newry and Dublin, which is why so much manufacturing and distribution has grown up at Knockmore Hill, Lissue and Blaris, from Coca-Cola HBC's bottling plant to builders' and plumbing merchants.

Lisburn is on the M1 between our Portadown depot and Belfast, so delivery, demos, servicing and LOLER thorough examinations are close at hand. We supply EP trucks to buy or on contract hire, quoted in sterling.

  • Buy new, or contract hire from 12 months
  • LOLER thorough examinations and servicing by our own engineers
  • Quotes in sterling
  • Same-day breakdown response target

What Lisburn makes and moves

The sectors that keep pallets moving in and around Lisburn, and the kind of equipment that suits them.

Soft drinks manufacturing

Coca-Cola HBC's Knockmore Hill plant employs 550 people and has invested €31m in a high-speed bottling line and added a €3.5m warehouse in 2024.

Manufacturing and engineering

Knockmore Hill neighbours include ASSA ABLOY, Camlin Group and McAvoy Group, with Tata Steel listed as an occupier near Knockmore Industrial Estate on Moira Road.

Builders and plumbing merchants

Lissue Industrial Estate West, off the Moira Road, houses Jebbs Plumbing Supplies, Sebden Steel and Warmflow.

Trade and industrial supplies

Blaris Industrial Estate on Altona Road, beside the M1, includes occupiers such as Diversey and The Alexander Group.

What works on Lisburn sites

  • High-volume drinks and FMCG warehousing around Knockmore needs trucks that keep pace with fast production lines; lithium opportunity charging avoids battery swaps across shifts.
  • Builders and plumbing merchants at Lissue and Blaris load steel, pipe and boilers in yards and inside; electric counterbalance trucks with outdoor tyres handle both without diesel fumes indoors.
  • Sprucefield/Blaris sits on the M1–A1 junction for Belfast–Dublin distribution, so order pickers and reach trucks for picking and high racking are a natural fit.
Forklift hire

Forklift hire in Lisburn

Contract hire spreads the cost of a new EP truck over a fixed term from 12 months. Servicing, repairs and LOLER thorough examinations are included in one monthly payment, so there are no surprise bills.
