About Us

3Loader supplies machines for all types of material handling applications, with a strong focus on top quality refurbished fork trucks and side loaders.

Established over 30 years ago and backed by a knowledgable workshop team, we have been supplying machines for all types of material handling applications ever since.

Today, we continue to provide the industry with the same great service, products and reputation we has long been known for.

The variety of trucks we deal with means our staff have a huge knowledge of all the top selling side loader brands, both old and new. Over the years, we have increasingly come to specialise in side loader refurbishment, particularly Boss side loaders which were our main stay truck for many years.

As demand for more modern machines grew, the company branched out into newer trucks like Bulmor, Baumann and Combilift, while continuing with the good old Boss side loaders.

In mid-2025 the company was taken over by Ed and Rob, who have a combined service of 45 years. With this fresh injection of enthusiasm and their long-learned knowledge of trucks and the industry, the pair are taking the company into the future.

Backed by a great team in the workshop, we are looking forward to continuing to support the industry and taking the company into the future.

How does 3Loader refurbish a truck?
  1. It all starts with a thorough steam clean.  Most trucks are filthy!  We wash to expose all areas of the machine for inspection.
  2. We thoroughly inspect every component for ware, leaks etc and replace as necessary.
  3. We prep the truck by taking it back to bare metal.  Filling and straightening the bodywork.
  4. The truck is then masked up and painted – red oxide primed followed by the topcoat.
  5. The cab interior is stripped, refurbished and rebuilt.  The body work is rebuilt.  New tyres are fitted if required.
  6. Finally, the side loader is thoroughly tested, before being signed off as finished for collection.
