Specialists in Heavy Plant Logistics

Safety First 15 Years. Thousands of Lifts. Not One Inch Given to Chance

ESTABLISHED 2011 | FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

From a Single Vehicle to a North West Powerhouse.

Fifteen years ago, Ashworth started with a simple mission: to provide the North West’s industrial sector with a level of reliability that the big national firms couldn't match. We saw a gap for a specialist who cared as much about the machine as the owner did.

Today, we are still that same family-run business, but with a fleet and a reputation that commands respect across the UK. We haven't grown by having the biggest marketing budget—we’ve grown because when we say a machine will be moved by 8:00 AM Monday, it’s there at 7:45 AM.

Why Being Family-Owned Matters to Your Bottom Line.

In this industry, "accountability" is often lost in a chain of sub-contractors and call centres. At Ashworth, the buck stops with us.

Direct Access: When you call us, you speak to a decision-maker who understands the technical specs of your lift.

Our Name is on the Gate: We don't hide behind a corporate logo. Our family reputation is built into every RAMS document and every successful relocation.

Longevity: 15 years in business means we’ve seen every complication the North West’s industrial landscape can throw at us. We don't "practice" on your site; we execute.

Deeply Rooted in Rochdale. Serving the UK.

Our depot in Rochdale isn't just a location; it’s our home. Being local to the area allows us to provide a rapid, flexible service to the manufacturing hubs of Manchester, Oldham, Bury, and the M62 corridor and Nationwide While our equipment travels nationwide, our values remain strictly local: hard work, honest pricing and a handshake that actually means something.

We Invest in the Best, So You Don’t Have To.

Expertise is nothing without the right iron. Over the last decade and a half, we have continuously invested in:

The Fleet: Specialized Hiabs and heavy-duty forklifts that are maintained to a standard that exceeds LOLER requirements

The People: Our operators aren't just "drivers"—they are precision engineers of movement.

The Safety: We carry insurance and certifications that allow us to step onto any tier-one industrial site in the country.
