UK Start-up launches new forklift platform in Manchester

UK-based startup Forkify today announces the official launch of its new online platform which helps people in Manchester to buy or hire forklifts

Forkify aims to simplify the forklift hire and sales process by connecting customers with forklift suppliers using proprietary technology. 

Users can submit their forklift requirements on the website, before being matched with a forklift dealership who can fulfil the order. 

Forkify has set up partnerships with high quality dealerships across the city. Thanks to its proprietary technology, the company is able to match these dealerships with the end user based on their location and specific requirements. 

Will Bradley, co-founder and CEO, said: “Finding the perfect forklift can be an expensive and time consuming process. Forkify allows you to do it in under two minutes and gives you peace of mind you’re getting value for money.”

Forkify has generated interest across a range of industries – namely warehousing, construction and manufacturing, where forklifts are integral to day-to-day operations. 

Jake Dickerson, co-founder and CTO said: “Manchester is a really strong market for the materials handling sector. Everyone always wants the best deal possible, and with forklifts that’s no exception.”

The platform has also been welcomed by forklift suppliers, since it enables them to take advantage of online demand they might not otherwise capture.
