About Us

Built on Three Decades of Trust and Expertise

Founded in 1994, Builder Yard Group has established itself as a trusted supplier of diesel forklifts, heavy machinery, diggers, and excavation equipment across the UK. What began as a regional dealership in London has grown into a nationwide operation, supporting over 5,000 businesses across logistics, construction, manufacturing, and cold storage.

As we continue to evolve, ForkLift Yard is now expanding its range to include the next generation of electric forklifts. This strategic move allows us to offer customers cleaner, quieter, and more energy‑efficient solutions while maintaining the power and performance they expect from our diesel fleet.

Today, ForkLift Yard delivers a complete range of equipment, from high-performance diesel forklifts to the latest generation of electric models. As the industry shifts towards cleaner and more efficient solutions, we are actively expanding our electric fleet to meet evolving customer demands without compromising on power or reliability.

With a team of over 150 certified professionals and more than 30,000 units supplied, we support operations of every scale. Our nationwide presence and responsive after-sales service ensure minimal downtime and consistent performance for our clients.

We maintain strong partnerships with leading manufacturers across India, Japan, and Germany, giving our customers access to dependable machinery and the latest advancements in equipment technology.

At ForkLift Yard, our focus is simple — deliver reliable equipment, competitive pricing, and service that businesses can depend on long-term.

The UK's Most Trusted ForkLift Import Partner

As the largest importer of forklifts in the United Kingdom, we hold exclusive distribution agreements with some of the world's most respected manufacturers. This means we can offer our customers factory-direct pricing, genuine OEM parts, and manufacturer-backed warranties — advantages that smaller dealers simply cannot match.

Our dedicated import team manages the entire logistics chain, from factory inspection and quality control overseas to bonded warehouse storage and nationwide last-mile delivery. Every machine that arrives at our yard undergoes a rigorous 50-point pre-delivery inspection before it ever reaches a customer.

We're not just selling forklifts. We're building long-term operational partnerships. That's why over 72% of our customers return to us for their second, third, and subsequent purchases — and why our Net Promoter Score consistently exceeds 85.
