Material Handling Equipment Hire in Godstone, Surrey
Not sure which lifting or loading machine your job needs? Our Godstone depot talks through the job and suggests the right equipment from forklifts, telehandlers, loaders and more.
Material handling equipment hire covers forklifts, telehandlers, loaders and attachments for moving and lifting on site. Call our Godstone depot and describe the job, and we will suggest a fit.
Not Sure Which Machine You Need?
Many callers know the job but not the exact machine name. That is fine. Describe the load, the ground and the access, and the depot will work out the rest.
A warehouse pallet job often points to a forklift. A roof delivery often points to a telehandler. A tight garden often points to a skid steer or Avant loader.
Our team asks a few simple questions on the call, then suggests a machine from our range, rather than leaving you to guess the right category yourself. There is no need to know the correct machine name before calling. Describing the job in your own words is enough for our team to start narrowing it down.
Our Material Handling Range
Godstone stocks forklifts, telehandlers, telescopic handlers, loading shovels, skid steers, Avant loaders and pallet trucks, with attachments for each. See every hire service from this depot on our Godstone Forklift Rental Service page. Check the full equipment list, including specs for each machine type, on our Material Handling Equipment collection before calling.
Call 01883 743322 and describe your job. We will match a machine and confirm a delivery slot for your Surrey site. We can also quote several machine options side by side if more than one type could suit your job, so you can compare before deciding. Call with your job description ready, and we will talk through the options and confirm a delivery slot on the same call.
Equipment Advice for Godstone and Surrey Sites
Our Godstone depot covers everything from tight garden jobs to open warehouse floors across Redhill and Reigate, so our team has seen most site types before.
Local ground, access and gateway widths all affect which machine fits, not just which one lifts the right weight on paper.
Tell us about your site in detail. We will factor in local conditions, including the chalk and clay ground south of the M25, before suggesting a machine. Gateway widths and overhead obstructions are checked before every delivery, whichever machine type you end up hiring from us. We cover sites right across Surrey, not only the towns named here, so call even if your job sits somewhere else nearby.
What to Expect From the Call
Expect a few direct questions about your load, your access and your ground conditions, rather than a long sales pitch about every machine we hire.
We will suggest one or two suitable machines, explain the difference, and let you choose rather than pushing the most expensive option.
Need to add attachments once the machine is chosen? Call 01883 743322 and we will confirm what fits and what we have in stock for your dates. If the suggested machine does not sound right once you hear the price or the details, our team is happy to talk through other options on the same call. There is no obligation to book on the first call, so take time to think it over if you want a second opinion before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
I do not know which machine I need. Can you still help?
Yes, this is one of the most common calls the depot gets. Describe the job, the load and the access, and our team will suggest a suitable machine from forklifts, telehandlers, loaders or skid steers, without needing you to name one first. A short description of the load, the ground and the access is usually all our team needs to suggest two or three suitable options.
Can you suggest attachments as well as the main machine?
Yes. Tell the depot the full job, not just the main task, and we will suggest attachments alongside the machine where they help. This often saves booking a second piece of equipment later in the job. This often saves a second delivery trip later in the job, once the full scope of the work becomes clear on site. This is especially useful on a job that starts small but could grow once work gets underway on site.
Do you deliver to Redhill and Reigate?
Yes, both are inside our normal Godstone delivery area, whichever machine you end up hiring. Delivery is quoted with your hire price, so the full cost is clear before booking. Delivery is quoted with your hire price once a machine is confirmed, so the total cost is clear before you book. Collection at the end of the hire follows the same quote, so the full cost stays clear from the first phone call.
Will the price change once you confirm the right machine?
The depot gives a price once the machine and attachments are confirmed, based on what the job needs. This is often clearer and sometimes cheaper than booking a bigger machine than necessary at the start. Our team would rather suggest a smaller machine that does the job properly than an expensive one that sits unused for part of the hire. This honest approach is part of why many customers come back to the same depot for their next job.
What UK rules cover material handling equipment generally?
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 set out duties around avoiding manual handling risk where possible, which is the reason most of this equipment exists. Coppard checks every machine before hire, so the equipment side is covered before it reaches site. Coppard checks every machine before hire, whichever type the job ends up needing, so this side is always covered before delivery. Training the operator for the specific machine chosen remains the hirer’s own responsibility under separate rules.
