What areas do you cover?

Wight Materials Handling is based in Shalfleet on the Isle of Wight, and we provide Island-wide coverage for all materials handling needs — from forklift hire and sales to servicing and maintenance. We also supply equipment and parts across the UK, offering full national delivery for sales orders.

What makes Wight Materials Handling different from other suppliers?

Unlike many suppliers, Wight Materials Handling is accredited by the UK Materials Handling Association (UKMHA) — the leading authority in our industry. This accreditation means we follow a strict Code of Practice, ensuring every customer receives expert advice, high-quality equipment, and professional service from fully trained engineers.

Simply put, we don’t just claim to be the best — we’re certified to prove it.

What types of equipment do you offer?

We provide a comprehensive range of materials handling equipment, including:

Forklift trucks (diesel, electric, and LPG)
Warehouse and access equipment
Attachments and accessories
Spare parts and consumables

Whether you’re looking to hire, buy, or service, we’ll help you find the right solution for your operation and budget.

Do you offer maintenance and servicing for existing equipment?

Yes — our fully qualified engineers provide servicing, maintenance, and breakdown support for all major makes and models of materials handling equipment. We pride ourselves on a prompt, reliable response to minimise downtime and keep your operations running smoothly. Regular maintenance contracts are also available for ongoing support and compliance.

Can you help me choose the right equipment for my business?

Absolutely. As UKMHA-accredited specialists, we don’t just sell or hire equipment — we help you make the right investment. Our team can assess your site, workload, and handling requirements to recommend the most efficient, safe, and cost-effective equipment for your operation. You’ll get honest, expert advice every time.
