When you hire a forklift from us, the maintenance of the equipment will be included in the cost of the rental. It typically includes breakdown cover, regular servicing, safety inspections, and replacement of worn-out parts - all of which will be carried out by our fully trained engineers.

To ensure minimal downtime, each of our forklifts is safety-checked and fully inspected before it is delivered to your site. On top of that, our maintenance support team in Birmingham operates around the clock, so in case of an emergency, they can respond to a reported issue quickly and efficiently.

There aren’t any. At Acclaim Handling, we’ve made our rental agreements fully flexible, so businesses in and around the Birmingham area can take advantage of our equipment for as little or as long as they need.

In the UK, forklift operators are required to complete accredited training and obtain certification before they can legally operate a forklift.

While there isn’t a formal “forklift license,” employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) to ensure all forklift operators are competent.

No, our forklifts for rent are available all over the country. We have eight depots in total, some of which are located in London, Liverpool, Norwich, and Portsmouth, to name a few.
