Forklift servicing in Birmingham: common questions
Who comes out to Birmingham?
An engineer from our Midlands Service Centre at Rugby, Warwickshire (CV21 2UH). 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.
Can we take a machine short term instead of buying?
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. Attachments, access equipment and industrial cleaning machinery hire on the same agreement.
Can you cover several machines on one agreement?
Yes. A maintenance contract across a fleet in Birmingham fixes the schedule, the parts and the examination dates in one place, and larger fleets can be run through our fleet management service with a portal to see the whole picture.
Who is responsible for the LOLER examination, us or you?
The duty sits with whoever has control of the equipment at work, so on your own machines it is yours. What we do is carry it out, issue the report and keep the schedule, which is the part that usually gets missed.
How often does a truck in Birmingham 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.
