A second centre working the same ground, so there is fleet and engineering capacity behind a Dorset job whatever the machine. Acclaim services and examines equipment the length and breadth of the UK, and Dorset sits well inside that.
Forklift servicing in Dorset: common questions
Who comes out to Dorset?
An engineer from our South Coast Centre at Cosham, Portsmouth (PO6 3TJ). 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.
Do you look after machines you did not supply?
Yes, and most of the 3,500 machines we maintain came from somewhere else. Make and model make no odds: diesel, LPG and electric counterbalance, reach trucks, powered pallet trucks, stackers and access equipment are all covered.
Can you cover several machines on one agreement?
Yes. A maintenance contract across a fleet in Dorset 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.
Is the work done at our premises?
Yes. Servicing, LOLER thorough examinations and most repairs are carried out at your site in Dorset. The workshop at Cosham is there for the heavier jobs, and we arrange transport both ways when a machine needs it.
