About B & S Forklifts
B & S Forklifts has been a trusted forklift dealer in the North East for over 30 years, supplying quality lift trucks and warehouse equipment to businesses right across the region. As an authorised CAT® dealer, we have built our reputation on the simple principle that the right equipment, backed by genuine support, helps our customers work more safely and more profitably. From used forklifts for sale to hire, servicing and repairs, we offer a complete materials handling solution under one roof. Whatever your business handles and wherever you operate across the North East, we are here to help you find the right machine and keep it working hard for years to come.


Three Decades of Materials Handling Experience
Experience counts for a great deal in materials handling, and over more than 30 years we have supported businesses across a wide range of industries and applications throughout the North East. In that time we have come to understand that no two operations are the same, which is why we take the time to learn how each customer works before recommending anything.
As an established forklift dealer in the North East, we have seen the practical challenges businesses face day to day, from tight indoor storage to demanding outdoor yards, and we draw on that knowledge with every recommendation we make. That long track record means our customers deal with a team who genuinely understand the equipment and the work it has to do, rather than a supplier simply moving stock. It is this depth of experience that gives our customers confidence in the advice we give.

The Leading Forklift Brands
As the North East's authorised CAT® dealer, we are proud to supply some of the most respected names in the industry. Alongside CAT® lift trucks, we stock and support forklifts and warehouse equipment from leading brands including MIMA, Flexi, Hako, Combi-Lift and GREENPOWER, which gives our customers genuine choice rather than a narrow selection.
Whether you need a gas, diesel or electric forklift, our breadth of range means we can match you to a machine that suits your application rather than steering you towards whatever happens to be available. We pride ourselves on our knowledge of the equipment, and that expertise allows us to recommend the right truck for the job with confidence. Working with quality brands also means the machines we supply are built to perform and to last, which protects our customers' investment over the long term.
Why Businesses Choose Us
Businesses across the North East return to us because we combine quality equipment with the kind of support that genuinely makes a difference. As an authorised CAT® dealer with over two decades of experience, we offer specialist brand knowledge, a wide choice of machines and a team who care about getting the right outcome for each customer. We recognise that every operation has unique requirements, and we pride ourselves on tailoring solutions and offering flexibility of contract to suit ever-changing needs, both now and in the future.
Our aim is always to give customers greater choice of quality equipment, help reduce operating costs and provide dependable local after-sales support. That commitment to doing right by the businesses we serve is what has kept us at the heart of materials handling in the region for so long, and it is what you can expect when you work with us.
