Forklift servicing in Reading: common questions
Who comes out to Reading?
An engineer from our West Service Centre at Spencers Wood, Reading (RG7 1PJ), under 10 miles from Reading. 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 Reading?
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.
How often does a truck in Reading need a thorough examination?
Every twelve months for a forklift used to lift goods, and every six months where it lifts people or carries a person-lifting attachment. A written scheme of examination can set a different interval. We track the dates for machines on a contract and tell you before one is due.
What does a forklift service cost in Reading?
Servicing starts at £135 and thorough examinations at £135 for warehouse equipment. The figure depends on the machine, because a powered pallet truck and a diesel counterbalance are not the same job. Call 01708 861 414 with the make, model and hours and we will price yours.
Can a service and a thorough examination be done on one visit?
Yes, and it is the sensible way to book it. One visit from Spencers Wood covers both, the machine is off the job once, and you get the service record and the CFTS thorough examination report together.
