Hire Equipment

Fully integrated materials handling and storage systems for your business

When it comes to warehouse logistics and solutions, it’s always best to plan for peaks. Seasonal demands, sudden breakdowns, or unexpected bulk orders can prove critical. Such spontaneous conditions prompt delays and missed deadlines – which is the last thing your business needs in the current climate. In such circumstances, our responsive service support is committed to making your life easier with our industry-leading hire range.

 Whatever you need, we’re just a phone call away.

HIRING WITH LOCATORS IS

SAFE, QUICK & EASY

COMMERCIALLY COMPETITIVE RATES

Your business benefits from reliable, safe equipment while keeping within your budget. We operate a young hire fleet that’s in great cosmetic condition Our hire rates remain very competitive and we also offer fixed cost transport.

RESPONSIVE SERVICE SUPPORT

We maintain over 2,500 machines with highly-trained teams of mobile engineers. Overnight parts delivery and our continuous investment in training mean we really deliver when it comes to supporting our customers.

LOCATORS HAVE AN EXTENSIVE HIRE FLEET

We supply and stock all types of material handling equipment. This includes industrial forklifts, telehandlers & rough terrain vehicles as well as warehouse and access equipment. Please enquire today to discuss your requirements.

THE BENEFITS OF OUR HIRE EQUIPMENT

Modern, reliable, and efficient.

Most rental services carry an assortment of the more commonly found models of forklifts. Yet at Locators, we cover the entire range of our material handling fleet to cover any gaps in your material handling needs.

SEASONAL DEMANDS OR UNEXPECTED BULK ORDERS

It’s fantastic if your business is booming. However, your current materials handling fleet might not be able to keep on top of the sudden demand. You might not be able to justify any new purchases or year-round commitments. Rather than investing in new equipment, hiring is a great option that’s available at short notice.

SUDDEN BREAKDOWNS

As a business, it’s always best to have a plan for the worst. However, if your fleet isn’t big enough to cover any breakdowns or downtime, hiring equipment can be a lifesaver. Our responsive service support team are always on hand when it comes to supporting our customers’ equipment.

YOU NEED TO CONSERVE CAPITAL

Given coronavirus’ effect on the global economy, investments might not be top of your mind. When you rent, however, there are no expensive upfront acquisition costs in the form of interest-bearing loans. For many of our customers, rentals are a more optimal and cost-effective solution for their materials handling needs.

AN EXTENSIVE AND YOUNG HIRE FLEET

For lifting, moving and repositioning heavy loads – the ownership or hire of materials handling equipment is a must.

Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) is vital in day-to-day trade. Yet, they can be a considerable investment for any business to make. It’s because of this that it’s essential to find the best type of MHE to fit your business needs. If you are considering such an investment, why not seek out a test demonstration or hire equipment first?

By using the right mix of MHE and storage systems you can make major efficiency gains, reduce the size of your fleet, number of operators required and building size needed. Locators supply MHE for hire from world-leading brands – such as Toyota, Combilift and Manitou.

FORKLIFTS

Common in all warehouses, these include Electric, Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) and Diesel counterbalance trucks, 3 and 4 wheel electric counterbalance trucks, Aisle-masters and Combilifts.

What our clients say

We are very pleased with the change from an engine to an electric fleet. The trucks have been well received by our operators as they are comfortable and quiet to drive and give excellent protection from the elements. We even have the option and flexibility to use spare batteries and a simple battery change system if we ever want to work back to back shifts in the future. Locators also design, supply and install all types of racking and storage systems. They reconfigured the CooperVision warehouse for narrow aisle operation which increases the storage density and pallet locations. Locators supplied Aisle-Master articulated forklifts to work in this area.

Coopervision, Hamble

We have worked with Locators for nearly 20 years. We are confident they can always make the best use of the space we have available and provide us with forklifts that are well suited for the long loads and other stock we have to move.

Colin Macgregor
Director, Y Goldberg

Every time we look at an application, Locators approach it like a blank canvas and always recommend the best equipment for our business. Locators have proved themselves as a very reliable and proactive service provider by keeping our trucks working and our fleet costs as low as possible.

Adam Conrad
 Group Transport Manager for Covers

Being able to work with one supplier for storage and materials handling has been a benefit to us. Locators managed the complete installation and ensured the correct materials handling equipment was specified for their design. They also service and maintain all of the equipment they have supplied and offer a rack inspection service to make sure our warehouse remains a safe working environment. We are very happy with our new facility and we believe we have made the best use of the available space.

Marc Congdon
Engineering Manager, Costa

We purchased our first Toyota forklift from Locators 14 years ago for our farm. This truck has been very reliable and is still in service so we had no hesitation in deciding to purchase another Toyota machine. Locators recommended an electric forklift for our machinery depot as it is very quiet, has low running costs and does not create any pollution, making it ideal for working both inside and outside. Our operators are very pleased with our new Toyota truck and our business is very happy to be operating a forklift that has such a low impact on the environment.

Ed Smales
Director, NFFM

Locators installed the new racking system within a tight timeframe while our business was fully operational. They have provided us with a facility that has a similar storage capacity and reduced the size of our forklift fleet allowing us to lease one building instead of two. We are very happy with the outcome.

Paul Bickell
Nippon Express

Locators gave us the benefit of working with just one supplier for all of the storage and materials handling requirements of this project. By mixing 3 and 4 wheel trucks from the same model range, we have gained extra pallet locations and have the option to battery change between them and work multi-shift in the future. I was initially sceptical that electric trucks could replace LPG, but I am very pleased with the successful outcome of this project.

Mark Davis
Logistics Supervisor for Hall & Woodhouse brewery

It is a great benefit to us that we have a single source supplier who understands the needs of our business. This saves us time, improves efficiency and ultimately reduces cost.
