TAG Forklift Truck Services has supported businesses across Manchester and the North West with forklifts, materials handling equipment and access equipment since 1994.
Based in Trafford Park, we help customers buy, hire, service, repair and maintain the equipment they depend on. We’re an independent business, so we can work across different makes and types of equipment and recommend a solution that fits the job.
Whether you need a new forklift, a temporary hire truck or help keeping an existing fleet running, our focus is practical advice, reliable equipment and support beyond the initial sale.
Founded in 1994, TAG has grown from a forklift business into a broader materials handling and access equipment operation.
Today, our services include:
That range means customers can come to us for equipment and continue working with us for maintenance, training and ongoing support.
Our base is in Trafford Park, Manchester, and we support businesses across Greater Manchester and the wider North West.

Operating from the North West keeps us close to many of the customers, equipment and sites we support. Our service area includes Manchester, Warrington, Liverpool, St Helens, Preston, Bolton, Wigan, Bury, Rochdale, Stockport, Northwich and Altrincham.

Being independent gives us the flexibility to consider different makes, models and ways of sourcing equipment.
We supply equipment including Hyundai and Linde forklifts, and have established relationships with manufacturers and suppliers including Aisle Master, Combilift, Hako and JLG.
Our hire and servicing work also covers a range of other makes and models, allowing us to support customers with different equipment requirements.
For some businesses, buying new is the right investment. For others, a used or refurbished truck, or a short-term hire agreement, is a better fit. We help customers weigh up those options based on how the equipment will actually be used.
Our relationship with customers does not have to end when equipment is delivered. We also provide the services needed to keep it working.
We supply new and used forklifts, including electric, LPG and diesel trucks, warehouse equipment, reach trucks and more specialist materials handling equipment.
We offer short- and long-term forklift hire, with maintenance and breakdown cover available under applicable hire agreements.
Our manufacturer-trained engineers carry out planned servicing, repairs and breakdown work across different makes and models.
TAG also carries out Thorough Examinations directly, using our own qualified engineers. Customers can arrange this service with TAG rather than having to rely on us to organise an external examiner.
We refurbish used forklifts through mechanical and cosmetic work. The work undertaken depends on the condition of the truck and the refurbishment package selected.
We provide RTITB-accredited forklift operator training at our Trafford Park facilities and at customer premises where appropriate.
For businesses managing multiple trucks, we can also support servicing schedules, equipment utilisation and wider fleet oversight.
Alongside forklifts and materials handling equipment, we supply access platforms including scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers.
TAG Forklift Truck Services Ltd is listed in the official IPAF directory as an IPAF Rental+ member in the Hirer / Rental category.

Behind our equipment and services is a team working across engineering, sales, hire, training, transport and customer support.
Our service operation includes manufacturer-trained engineers, and our qualified engineers carry out Thorough Examinations in-house. Our operator training is RTITB-accredited.
For customers, that means dealing with a business that can provide equipment as well as technical and training support.
