Service & Maintenance

Forklift servicing, maintenance and repairs

Downtime stops more than a machine. When a truck stops, goods stop arriving and orders stop leaving. Planned maintenance and responsive repair keep that interruption under control.

We maintain over 750 customer fleets on all makes and models, not only the machines we supplied. One relationship covers a mixed fleet.

Our service department is on call 24 hours a day. Mobile engineers cover site work and the Grimsby workshop takes on the jobs that need a bench.

To get an engineer to you faster

  • Truck manufacturer and model
  • Serial number, usually on the data plate
  • What the machine is doing, or refusing to do
  • Whether it is safe and accessible where it stands
  • Site postcode and a contact on site

What we cover

Planned preventative maintenance
Attention on a known interval, so wear is found before it becomes a stoppage.
Breakdown and repair
Response to faults that will not wait for the next scheduled visit.
LOLER thorough examinations
Statutory examinations carried out and documented, keeping your lifting equipment compliant.
PUWER inspections
Inspection against the work equipment regulations across your fleet.

24-hour breakdown support

Four more ways we keep the fleet running

  1. Repairs

    Forklift repairs and breakdown support

    Mobile engineers for the faults that can be fixed where the truck stands, the Grimsby workshop for the ones that cannot, and a service department on call 24 hours a day.

  2. LOLER

    Thorough examinations (LOLER)

    The statutory examination and written report every lift truck needs — every twelve months for loads, every six for people — scheduled alongside servicing so nothing lapses.

  3. Fleet management

    Forklift fleet management

    One truck or twenty, the reminders stop being your problem. We track what is due across the fleet, book it around your shifts and agree the rates in advance.

  4. Parts

    Forklift parts, the right one first time

    Spare parts for all makes and models, not only the trucks we sold. Give us the model and serial number and we will find the part — collected from Grimsby or delivered to site.

Questions we get asked

Rest on a question, or tap it, for the answer

Follow the manufacturer's hours-based schedule: for most trucks a service every 500 to 1,000 hours, or at least every six months. Cold stores, dusty yards and multi-shift use need more frequent visits. The LOLER thorough examination is separate and is due at least every twelve months.

Yes. We maintain over 750 customer fleets on all makes and models, so one contract can cover a mixed fleet.

No. Servicing is maintenance under PUWER; the thorough examination is a statutory inspection under LOLER with a written report. A truck needs both, and we can do them on the same visit.

Yes. Planned preventative maintenance on a fixed interval across a whole fleet, with the LOLER dates diarised alongside. Tell us the trucks, the hours and the site and we will propose a schedule.
