Taking effect on 1st June 2026, the acquisition integrates WSS’s 30 years of manual pallet truck servicing expertise into SHS under the SHS Handling Solutions name.

Management Quote: Yarl Dunn, Managing Director of SHS Handling Solutions, commented: “WSS has built an outstanding reputation over three decades for technical expertise. Our priority is to protect that legacy while giving the team the scale and resources to grow further. This acquisition strengthens our footprint while deepening our commitment to keeping British industry moving.”
