About Gilford Van Hire
We are a long-established family business located in Portadown, Craigavon, Northern Ireland – offering a range of vans, lorries and trailers for hire across the province.
Gilford Van Hire Limited was originally established in 1968 close to Gilford in County Down with the objective of hiring out commercial vans and trucks to the business users of trucks and vans which were being repaired.
In 1992, having outgrown their original premises, Gilford Van Hire Limited moved to Carn Industrial Estate in Craigavon. This larger site at 1 Breagh Drive in Carn Industrial Estate is in a great location, being close to the M1 motorway and only 20 minutes from Belfast.
Over the years, the company has grown into one of the largest Commercial Vehicle Hire businesses in Northern Ireland but still remains very much a family-run business where customers, new and old, are guaranteed to receive a warm, efficient, and personal one-to-one service.
