Billingham-based B&S Forklifts are celebrating being operational for more than two decades and the fact that the company has now firmly established itself as the region's largest dealer in Caterpillar trucks.

Caterpillar forklifts offer the reliability of a recognised and trusted brand name, with the versatility of a wide range of different vehicle and fuel types, allowing rental customers to specify the model that is best suited to their working environment and the project at hand.

Vehicles are available with: 

    Electric, diesel or environmentally friendly LPG engines;
    Conventional, multi-reach and low-loading forks;
    Long-range reach and slimline profiles for narrow aisles.

In addition to the north-east's largest range of Caterpillar trucks, B&S Forklifts can supply rental trucks from other leading brands, including JCB, Robur, CombiLift, Hako, Flexi and Logitrans.

Together, these brands - and the many different kinds of vehicle manufactured by them - bring a compelling and unparalleled selection of machinery to B&S Forklifts' clients.

Company spokesman Steve Young said: "B&S Forklifts have been supplying the north-east with all of their lifting machinery needs since 1992, and we bring those two decades' worth of experience into our present-day operations, to make sure we continue to offer an unbeaten range of vehicles that suits all our clients' needs.

"We have worked hard to get this far, and are delighted that the effort has paid off to create the well-established brand that we are known as today. But it's not just about us, and as heavy industries continue to recover from the recession, we will work even harder to ensure the supply of the rental vehicles needed to help the economy - and our clients - to capitalise on any growth potential."

The coming few years should see substantial growth opportunities in many sectors, as the economy returns to a more positive cycle, and the correct machinery is essential to underpinning any such growth.

With such potential on the horizon, B&S Forklifts are looking ahead to the next two decades, and to sharing in the return to industrial growth the company's clients are expected to witness.
