Areas we cover
Sectors
Hickman Engineering offers multiple engineering services across a wide range of sectors.
Marine Vessels & Assets
We act as your outsourced engineering department. We maintain commercial workboats, ferries, and tugs, handling everything from Lloyds survey preparations to engine alignments and propeller repairs to reduce vessel downtime.
Defence Industry
The defence sector demands uncompromising precision and reliability. We manufacture specialist CAD-designed components, perform high-tolerance CNC machining, and execute Lloyds registered welding to maintain critical marine establishments and assets.
Transport & Logistics
When transport equipment fails, supply chains stall. We provide 24/7 mobile repairs and bespoke maintenance for HGVs, terminal tractors, shunters, and reach stackers to keep your distribution depots moving.
FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods)
When FMCG production lines stop, costs spiral. We provide 24/7 rapid repairs for conveyor systems, industrial gearboxes, and hydraulic presses, alongside bespoke fabrication of rollers and hoppers to minimise downtime.
Marinas & Ports
When port equipment fails, cargo stops. We provide rapid mobile engineering for dockside infrastructure, repairing lock gates and maintaining heavy Ro-Ro equipment, reach stackers, and translifters to keep trade moving.

What Our Customers Say
“Hickman Engineering has successfully executed numerous fabrication projects for us. Their prompt responsiveness and reliability make them our unequivocal choice.”
Grimsby Based Shipping Agency
“We have a wonderful relationship with Hickman Engineering and especially Shaun & Garrick. We have total trust in them and that they really care about us.
Only the lads know our gear and its quirks. An outsider would almost certainly run into problems or dead ends. We are very pleased that the work was done so efficiently, cleanly and we are back up to full capacity with no closure required. Perfect!
Without a doubt, we would recommend Hickman Engineering. Their slogan is ‘we never shy away’ and this is very apt and true.”
