What areas does Locators cover?

Our engineers and delivery fleet serve Southampton, Portsmouth and Hampshire, Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset, plus Wiltshire, Berkshire and Surrey, for site surveys, planned servicing and emergency call-outs. See all the areas we cover.
What equipment and brands do you supply?
Locators supplies material handling equipment of every kind, from forklift trucks and pallet trucks to warehouse storage systems and construction equipment. We are main dealers for Toyota Material Handling, Combilift, Manitou, Kärcher, Konecranes and Yanmar, covering new and used sales, contract hire and short-term rental.
Do you sell new and used forklifts?
Yes. Locators sells both new and used forklift trucks, from Toyota counterbalance and warehouse trucks to Combilift multidirectional and long-load handlers, including Aisle-Master articulated forklifts for very narrow aisle work. Tell us your loads, site and budget and we will match you to the right truck. Browse our industrial equipment or ask a specialist.
Do you offer forklift hire?
Yes. Our forklift hire fleet covers electric, diesel and LPG trucks on flexible short and long-term terms, ideal when you need a machine fast. We also hire out construction and powered access equipment, including telehandlers when a job needs lifting height and forward reach.
Do you service and maintain forklifts?
Yes. Our team of 25 mobile engineers services and maintains forklifts and racking, backed by a fully stocked parts operation. We handle CFTS Thorough Examinations, SEMA-approved racking inspections, driver training and SAFEPOWER battery care in-house.
Do you supply floor cleaning machines?
Yes. As a main Kärcher dealer we supply cleaning machines for floors and surfaces, including scrubber dryers, floor sweepers, pressure washers and carpet and upholstery cleaners. Tell us your floor area and surface type and we will point you at the right machine.
Do you design and install warehouse storage systems?
Yes. Locators designs and installs complete warehouse storage systems, including pallet racking, mezzanine floors, shelving and automation. Because we supply trucks and racking together, your equipment and layout work as one solution planned around your site, loads and budget.
