Forklift servicing in Gravesend: common questions
Who comes out to Gravesend?
An engineer from our Head Office South East at Purfleet, Essex (RM15 4YD), under 10 miles from Gravesend. They are field based and work from a stocked van, so the great majority of servicing, examinations and repairs are finished on your own floor in one visit.
Do you hire machines out in Gravesend?
Yes. Hire starts at £85 and runs from a single day up to long-term contract hire, with the minimum charge one week at the weekly rate. Machines come from the same fleet our engineers maintain, so a hire truck is on the same service schedule as a bought one.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Yes. Kent is worked from our Head Office South East, and Acclaim services and examines equipment the length and breadth of the UK from eight regional centres, so a business with sites in more than one region deals with one supplier.
What paperwork do we get?
A service record for the work done and, where a thorough examination is carried out, a CFTS report of thorough examination. Reports need keeping until the next one is issued, and for two years in the case of a report on lifting accessories.
What happens if a machine stops mid-shift?
Call 01708 861 414. A breakdown callout runs 24/7 and the engineer arrives with a stocked van, which is why 92% of callouts are fixed on the first visit. If a repair is going to take longer, we can get a replacement machine to you.
