Congratulations to Danny Lawlor from D Lawlor Crane Hire who was lucky enough to be our Easter Hamper prize winner, drawn by Manton Forklifts MD Peter Grindey. Danny, pictured below [right] is seen receiving the prize from our sales manager Mike Jones.

Lawlor Crane Hire, is a full insured, experienced and highly reputable company offering crane, plant machinery, and flatbed transporter hire services for domestic, commercial and industrial customers across North West England and North Wales, including Manchester, Cheshire and along the coast.

Although he didn’t quite need a crane or a forklift truck to take home the hamper we hope it will be enjoyed.

Manton Forklifts recently supplied ETC Sawmills with two new Manitou MSI 30T machines which marks a 26 year customer relationship with the one of the largest independent sawmills in the UK, supplying high performance, specialist fencing timbers for domestic, agricultural and municipal markets.

Pictured below, our MD Mr Peter Grindey is seen supplying the first trucks back in 1991, and again more recently, proving that like fine wine, everything improves with age, and the Manitou’s look pretty tidy too! On a serious note though, while ETC sawmills passion is timber ours is forklift trucks and ensuring we improve and ensure the productivity of our customer’s businesses with the very best machines and service.

If you’re looking for softwood timbers for the fencing, landscaping and pallet industries from a responsibly managed resource, then look no further than ETC Sawmills, if you need help moving it then give us a call!

2017 marks the centenary for CLARK THE FORKLIFT, and to celebrate a 100 years of innovative forklift truck history the company have produced special centennial additions of its C20-35 and the GTS20-33 series.

One of our first customers to receive these special edition trucks is SHROPSHIRE GALVANIZERS, located in Oswestry, offering high standard hot dip galvanizing of industrial and agricultural equipment.

Works Manager Lee Leightwood is pictured below taking receipt of the the company’s two brand new C30D trucks, from Manton Forklifts Sales Manager Mike Jones. We are sure these trucks will be an valuable addition to Shropshire Galvanziers and represent another example of Manton Forklifts keeping businesses moving.
