Permatt History
Permatt has continued to grow and provide customers with a continuously improving quality of service in all areas of the Material Handling Industry.
Permatt Forklift Trucks Ltd. came from small beginnings dealing with used forklift truck repairs and parts, and has developed into a major supplier for forklift trucks including CAT Lift Trucks across the North East of England and Cumbria.
Permatt Forklift Trucks Ltd was established in 1981 by my father, Ted Percy. He was the first forklift truck service engineer in the Northeast and had over 40 years’ experience in this field before his retirement in 1997.
