Action Handling Equipment

Action Handling Equipment A family-run business with over 51 years in the Material Handling Equipment industry.

Action Handling started in 1970 and John Phillips (father to Paul and Steve) was one of the original founders. He had a vision of how he wanted to run a business, that until this day still underpins our tradition and philosophy. He wanted to build a product range that could be viewed as reliable, solid and competitive. He also wanted to set out a clear objective about how to treat customers with r

espect and care. He employed people who really took our business to heart and who liked to excel at what they did. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop for any conceivable requirement of Material Handling Equipment. When 'off-the-shelf' products are not the answer, we will design and manufacture tailor-made equipment to your exact specification. Furthermore, we can offer Service & Repair Contracts for our in-house engineers to keep your equipment running! As a family business, we are a close-knit team who know how to work together to deliver results. Our staff provide a rare blend of deep technical skills, a great deal of commercial practicality and a willingness to satisfy a customer’s requirement. Our product range has 12,000 items which cover the entire spectrum of Material Handling Equipment including Trucks & Trolleys, Safety Steps, Office & Storage Equipment, Lifting & Conveyors, Weighing & Packaging, Health & Safety, Shelving & Racking, Steel Fabrication and Service & Maintenance. We take pride in customer care and aim to secure, nurture and then build relationships with every one of our customers, from sole traders to blue-chip players in both the private and public sectors.
