Electric forklifts and warehouse equipment for Derry
Derry is the hub of the North West, serving Donegal as well as the city. Seagate's Springtown plant is investing £115m, Vertiv builds data-centre equipment at Campsie, and new warehousing is planned next to City of Derry Airport.
High-spec manufacturing needs clean, fume-free indoor trucks, and long or multi-shift days suit lithium-ion batteries that can be topped up at breaks. We supply EP trucks to buy or on contract hire, with LOLER thorough examinations and servicing from our mobile engineers.
- Buy new, or contract hire from 12 months

What Derry makes and moves
The sectors that keep pallets moving in and around Derry, and the kind of equipment that suits them.
Advanced manufacturing
Seagate's Springtown Industrial Estate site employs about 1,500 people and is the focus of a £115m, five-year investment in next-generation data-centre drive technology (Irish News, March 2026).
Electrical and data-centre infrastructure manufacturing
Vertiv took over the former Fruit of the Loom factory at Campsie in 2023 and announced 200 jobs there.
Port and bulk cargo
Foyle Port at Lisahally on Lough Foyle is primarily a bulk port, importing oil, coal, animal feed, fertiliser and plywood.
Warehousing and distribution
Heron Bros applied in January 2026 for a £25m storage and distribution facility with a 56,865 sq ft warehouse on Campsie Industrial Estate, next to City of Derry Airport.
Industrial land supply
Invest NI is marketing a 5.5-acre industrial site on Maydown Industrial Estate (BT47 6UQ) to its client companies.
What works on Derry sites
- Seagate, Vertiv and similar high-spec manufacturers need zero-emission indoor trucks: electric counterbalance and pallet trucks avoid diesel/LPG fumes near clean production areas.
- Firms serving Donegal and the North West often run long or multi-shift days: lithium-ion trucks can be opportunity-charged at breaks instead of swapping lead-acid batteries.
- New warehouse space coming at Campsie (e.g. the proposed 56,865 sq ft Heron Bros facility) suits reach trucks and order pickers for high racking from day one.
- Port-side importers of bagged feed, fertiliser and plywood at Lisahally/Maydown can use electric stackers and pallet trucks for shed and yard-to-store moves.
