About TAG Forklift Truck Services

Independent Forklift Specialists Since 1994

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.

Over 30 Years in Materials Handling

Founded in 1994, TAG has grown from a forklift business into a broader materials handling and access equipment operation.

Today, our services include:

  • New and used forklift sales
  • Short- and long-term forklift hire
  • Forklift servicing, repairs and Thorough Examinations
  • Forklift refurbishment
  • Operator training
  • Access equipment
  • Forklift attachments
  • Fleet management
  • Warehouse racking
  • Parts and accessories

That range means customers can come to us for equipment and continue working with us for maintenance, training and ongoing support.

Independent by Choice

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.

Sales, Hire and Ongoing Support

Our relationship with customers does not have to end when equipment is delivered. We also provide the services needed to keep it working.

Forklift Sales

We supply new and used forklifts, including electric, LPG and diesel trucks, warehouse equipment, reach trucks and more specialist materials handling equipment.

Forklift Hire

We offer short- and long-term forklift hire, with maintenance and breakdown cover available under applicable hire agreements.

Servicing, Repairs and Thorough Examinations

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.

Forklift Refurbishment

We refurbish used forklifts through mechanical and cosmetic work. The work undertaken depends on the condition of the truck and the refurbishment package selected.

Forklift Training

We provide RTITB-accredited forklift operator training at our Trafford Park facilities and at customer premises where appropriate.

Fleet Management

For businesses managing multiple trucks, we can also support servicing schedules, equipment utilisation and wider fleet oversight.

Access Equipment

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.

Our People and Experience

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.
