Forklift servicing in Rutland: common questions

Who comes out to Rutland?

An engineer from our East Service Centre at Spalding, Lincolnshire (PE11 3TZ). 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.

What does it cost to hire a forklift here?

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. Delivery is arranged from Spalding on our own transport.

How often does a truck in Rutland 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 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.

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 Spalding covers both, the machine is off the job once, and you get the service record and the CFTS thorough examination report together.
