Mini Forklift Trucks

Kelvin’s reputation for designing and building high-quality, reliable products stretches back to 1969. We’ve applied all this knowledge and experience into the Kelvin Mini; the ride-on forklift that fits into tight spaces.

The Kelvin Mini is such a small truck, we are able to lift 1.5 tons, but we can still get the fork through our low double doors.
Going electric is more convenient and cheaper, not having to use gas anymore.

British Equipment Since 1969

Still built strong. Just a little smarter.From the original Kelvin workhorse of the 70s to today’s electric Mini — our commitment to quality, innovation, and British engineering hasn’t changed. We’ve just made the forklifts smaller, safer, and smarter.

FAQs

We’ve been doing this a long time, so we know what people want to know before they buy (or hire) a forklift. If your question’s not here, just get in touch.

What makes a Kelvin Mini different from other forklifts?

Compact size, proper counterbalance performance, and a price that won’t make your accountant sweat.

How is it charged?

All our Mini forklifts are fully electric, with standard 24V battery systems that charge overnight — no gas, no hassle.

Can I try one before I buy?

Yes – we have demo models available and are happy to arrange a hands-on trial. Just get in touch with the team to set it up.

What’s the lead time for delivery?

We’ll confirm this at point of order, but many models are in stock and ready to go. Contact us for the latest availability.

I’m a dealer – can I resell Kelvin forklifts?

Yes. Join our Dealer Zone and get access to pricing, brochures, and support. It’s ideal if your customer needs something smaller than standard.
