About Us
About us.
Classic Fork Trucks Limited was established over 38 years ago by our former director, Garry Smith, building a strong reputation for reliability, expertise, and quality service within the industry.
Today, the company is proudly owned and operated by long-standing Operations Manager Sid Shelton-Smith, alongside his partner and long standing Hire Director Lauran Shelton-Smith.
With years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the business, they continue to uphold the company’s values while driving it forward with a modern, customer-focused approach.
Originally based on Broad Street, Coventry, Classic Fork Trucks steadily built its reputation through dedication, hard work, and a commitment to delivering exceptional service. As the business grew, the company expanded to larger premises on Durbar Avenue, Coventry to meet increasing demand.
Continued growth and a rapidly expanding customer base led to a further strategic move in 2013 to a prime location at Attleborough Fields Industrial Estate, Nuneaton. This relocation marked a significant milestone, enabling the company to support hundreds of customers more efficiently.
Today, with a skilled team of seven engineers and three office professionals, Classic Fork Trucks continues to go from strength to strength—maintaining the high standards of service, reliability, and expertise that have defined the business for decades.
