Walk-behind and ride-on pallet trucks for moving pallets around the floor, loading lorries and busy stores.
Electric stackers
Lift pallets onto racking without the size or cost of a forklift. Ideal for smaller warehouses.
Order pickers
Pick orders faster and more safely, with the operator travelling with the load.

Get more out of your racking with high lifts in narrow aisles.
Automated pallet trucks
EP X-Mover robots move pallets on their own. Come and see them working in our Navan demo warehouse.
Hire or buy?
Why businesses choose to hire
Buying ties up cash and leaves you to manage servicing, breakdowns and inspections. Contract hire turns all of that into one predictable monthly cost.
| Contract hire | Buying outright | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | None. Keep your capital for the business | Full purchase price |
| Servicing & repairs | Included | You pay as they come |
| LOLER & GA1 inspections | Included and booked for you | You arrange and pay |
| Monthly cost | Fixed, easy to budget | Varies with repairs |
| Accounts | Usually treated as an operating expense | Asset on your balance sheet |
| Fleet size | Scale up, down or switch models at renewal | Sell or trade in yourself |
| Equipment age | Always a modern fleet | Gets older every year |
Tax treatment depends on your business, so check with your accountant. Prefer to own? See finance options or buy new.

FAQ
Forklift hire questions
What is the minimum hire term?
Our minimum contract term is 12 months. Most customers choose 3 to 5-year agreements, which give the lowest monthly cost.
What's included in the monthly price?
Everything it takes to keep the truck working: planned servicing, repairs and parts, annual LOLER and GA1 inspections, and access to our online fleet portal for your service and inspection records.
What happens if a hired forklift breaks down?
Call us and one of our EP-trained engineers will come out to fix it. Repairs are included in your hire, so there is no extra bill for normal wear and tear.
Do I need to arrange LOLER or GA1 inspections?
No. We book and carry out the annual statutory inspections for you, and you can see the records in the online fleet portal at any time.
Can I change or add machines during the hire?
Yes. At renewal you can scale your fleet up or down or switch to different models. If your needs change before then, talk to us and we'll look at the options.
Do you deliver across Ireland and Northern Ireland?
Yes. We work from our depots in Navan, Co. Meath and Portadown, Co. Armagh, and deliver hire equipment to sites across the whole island.
How much does forklift hire cost?
It depends on the truck, the hours it works and the length of the term. Tell us what you need and we'll send you a no-obligation price within 24 hours.
Should I hire or finance a forklift?
Hire suits businesses that want a fixed monthly cost with maintenance included and no asset to manage. If you would rather own the truck at the end, finance may suit you better. See our finance options.
