What our customers say

Brilliant Service

“The truck helps us to manoeuvre heavy goods quickly and efficiently to make sure jobs are completed and ready to be sent to our customers on time. This is the first time we have used HEUK. Brilliant service and we would not hesitate to use HEUK again and recommend it to anyone.”

ABI Laser – Cara Reader, Administration Manager

HEUK were a pleasure to deal with

“The truck arrived ready for us to unload a container, which went great! The truck worked flawlessly and made it a dream to unload. This is the first time that Deacon has worked with HEUK. We were very impressed with the service, delivery and overall commitment and attention throughout the sale process. HEUK were a pleasure to deal with and look forward to working with them again."

Deacon Products – Miles Connop, Sales Director

Such an easy purchase

"Thank you to the team for such an easy purchase of both our lithium-ion counterbalance forklift trucks. When I was first looking into the market to purchase a new counterbalance forklift, I came across Handling Equipment UK Ltd and they were really easy to talk to and understood our needs and advised me on which truck would be best. I can say the whole experience was very easy, and the truck was delivered very quickly and what a piece of kit it is. It has everything we need on it and more. I had noticed that the truck settings were not quite right, and with one phone call, one of the team had logged in to the truck remotely to adjust and fine tune the drive of the truck to make it perfect."

Pennine Lubricants – James Heathcoate and James Marshall, Operations Manager
