EP Equipment in Newry

Electric forklifts and warehouse equipment for Newry

Newry is built for cross-border trade. The A1 is dual carriageway from Sprucefield to the border, Warrenpoint Port handles around 12% of Northern Ireland's port trade, and wholesalers and manufacturers such as S&W Wholesale and Norbrook have grown around Carnbane.

Our Portadown depot is about 30 minutes north and our Navan depot is south across the border, so Newry businesses trading both ways deal with one EP dealer. We supply to buy or on contract hire, with LOLER thorough examinations and servicing included on hire.

  • 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 works on Newry sites

  • Cross-border wholesalers and hauliers on the A1/N1 corridor need high-throughput fleets: reach trucks and order pickers for high-bay picking and lithium trucks for double shifts.
  • Pharma and animal-health manufacturing needs clean, zero-emission electric trucks suited to controlled production and packing areas.
  • Warrenpoint RoRo and unitised freight moving inland needs electric counterbalance trucks for trailer unloading and cross-docking.
  • Trade counters and showrooms at Carnbane and Greenbank suit compact electric pallet trucks and stackers, with annual LOLER thorough examinations about 27 minutes from Portadown.
Forklift hire

Yes. We offer contract hire from 12 months, with servicing, repairs and LOLER thorough examinations included in one monthly payment. We don't do short-term or weekly hire.

Yes. Under LOLER a forklift needs a thorough examination at least every 12 months, or every 6 months if it lifts people. Our engineers carry these out for equipment we supply or hire, and the reports go into your online fleet portal.

Can you quote in sterling and euro?
