Overview
Your local Xilin & MasterMover partner for Forklift Hire, Sales & Service across Kildare & Meath
Kildare and Meath hold much of Ireland's modern distribution capacity, with large-format warehouses clustered along the M7, M4 and M1. Our Rathcoole headquarters sits on the edge of this belt, giving Kildare and Meath sites the fastest possible response for hire, breakdown attendance and parts.
Local challenges
What you're up against
Large-format warehouse throughput
Big-box distribution centres run continuous shifts where an hour of forklift downtime is measurable in missed loads.
Peak-season surges
Retail and e-commerce peaks demand extra trucks and trained operators at short notice.
High racking and narrow aisles
Modern Kildare and Meath sheds need correctly specified reach and stacker equipment for lift height and aisle width.
Battery and charging planning
Multi-shift electric fleets need lithium-ion or opportunity-charging strategies to avoid mid-shift stoppages.
How AWE helps
The right kit, backed by Irish engineers
Fastest response in the region
Rathcoole is on the M7 at the edge of Kildare — engineers and hire deliveries reach most sites quickly.
Peak-season hire fleets
Short-term forklift and pallet truck hire scaled up for retail, e-commerce and seasonal peaks.
Racking-matched specification
We spec trucks to your aisle widths, lift heights and pallet weights rather than selling a stock model.
On-site operator training
RTITB-aligned operator training delivered at your Kildare or Meath site to keep certification current.
