Forklift Hire Wolverhampton

Forklift hire across Wolverhampton, from Rugby

Wolverhampton firms can arrange forklift truck hire of counterbalance forklifts in electric, LPG and diesel, reach trucks, Flexi articulated trucks, powered pallet trucks and stackers at rates from £85 a week, plus access platforms and cleaning machines. Lines at Rugby open at 8am and close at 5pm, Monday to Friday, while a separate breakdown number never closes. Weight, height and timing are what we need to price it.

Wolverhampton is about 47 miles from Paynes Lane by road: the M6 from junction 1 round Birmingham to junction 10, then west along the Black Country Route into the city. Our own vehicles handle the drop-off and the pick-up, and both dates go in the diary together.

The West Midlands is part of the Rugby centre's patch, and the engineers who cover the Black Country also cover Wolverhampton. A business with units here and in Walsall, or across the M54 in Telford, deals with one centre for all of them.

Trucks suited to Wolverhampton industry

Wolverhampton has deep roots in metalworking, and engineering, aerospace and automotive supply run through the north and east of the city. Diesel counterbalance trucks on pneumatic tyres suit stockholders and fabricators with outdoor storage, LPG trucks cover yard-to-workshop work, and electric counterbalance trucks keep clean production floors free of exhaust.

The newer manufacturing and distribution sites off the M54 work racked aisles to height with reach trucks, and a Flexi articulated truck can open up narrower aisles where a site wants more racking without moving. For receiving lorries and running a stores, powered pallet trucks and stackers tend to be plenty.

For forgings, castings and long bar, heavy-duty forklifts or a truck with fork extensions may be the answer, and access platforms and cleaning machines can join the hire. Tell us what the load weighs and how long it is, how high it goes and what the ground is like.

Wolverhampton's industrial areas, from i54 to Bilston

i54 South Staffordshire, at junction 2 of the M54 on the city's northern edge, has brought large manufacturing and engineering plants, and Wolverhampton Business Park and Pendeford sit close by. Fordhouses, along the Stafford Road, has long been home to aerospace engineering.

To the south-east, Bilston and Ettingshall carry the city's steel and metal-finishing tradition, with stockholders, fabricators and trade units along the Black Country Route. Wednesfield, to the east, mixes engineering works with smaller industrial estates.

The Stafford Road corridor ties the north of the city to the M54, and Willenhall and Darlaston lie just beyond the boundary towards the M6. Codsall, Perton and the rest of South Staffordshire are covered by the same Rugby team on the same number.

Wolverhampton hires: repairs, inspections, courses

Wolverhampton hires are maintained by the engineers responsible for forklift servicing and repairs in Wolverhampton, who carry stocked vans so most jobs finish in one visit. We book the LOLER thorough examination too: at least every twelve months for a truck lifting loads, and every six where it lifts people. The hire fleet is CFTS accredited.

If a repair is going to take longer, a replacement machine can be brought in, and most breakdowns are put right first time: 92 of every 100 callouts across the company. Traction batteries, chargers and tyres are supplied and fitted from Rugby.

Should your team want training, we run operator training on customers' sites and at our RTITB accredited centres in Purfleet, Chatham and Portsmouth, and courses for novices, refreshers and conversions can be held at your Wolverhampton premises: see forklift training in Wolverhampton.

Hire terms and prices

Hire runs from a single day through to long-term contract hire, from £85 a week. The rate moves with the machine, its lifting capacity and lift height, any attachments, and how long you keep it: longer hires cost less per week. Short-term hire covers a peak, a project or a truck off the road, and emergency hire is there for the day something has gone wrong.

Regular customers can put the machine, its servicing and its statutory inspections together as a contract, in one monthly payment with cover if the truck is off the road. Fleet management extends that across several sites.

If hire stops making sense, we sell new and used machines and take part exchange on your old truck, working or not. All prices are ex VAT.

Wolverhampton engineering firms often bring in a truck for a new contract, a shutdown or a stock-take, and keep it only as long as the work lasts. Give us the start and finish dates and the hire is set to them.

The benefits of hire for a Wolverhampton business are no capital outlay, servicing and breakdown repairs by our engineers while the truck is on site, and machines added or returned as demand changes; see how hiring compares with buying.

The Rugby depot behind Wolverhampton hires

Acclaim's Midlands Service Centre is on Paynes Lane Industrial Estate in Rugby, where the M1, the M6 and the A14 come together, and it is one of eight regional centres across the company. As an independent firm since 1982, we choose the truck for a Wolverhampton site on what the work needs. We are an exclusive dealer for STILL, Hyundai and Lonking, and we also supply Flexi articulated trucks, Genie access equipment and Kärcher cleaning machinery.

Rugby is used to large sites, tall racking and long shifts, where a stopped truck holds up everything around it, and it also stocks hand pallet trucks, trolleys and powered stair climbers. Hire, servicing, training and new or used sales all come from the same Rugby team.
