8 Regional Depots

Your Current Location:

National reach, local depots

Eight service centres, one operation

Acclaim runs eight regional service centres, from Purfleet on the Thames to Prescot on Merseyside, and hires, sells and services handling equipment across the whole of the United Kingdom. Each centre keeps its own engineers, its own parts and its own direct telephone line, so the people who answer are the people who will turn up.

That is the balance this page exists to show: a national company you can call in one place, and a local depot that knows the roads to your site. Find your nearest on the map above, or work down from the region below.

We have been doing it since 1982, and we have stayed independent throughout, which means the machine we recommend is the one that suits the job.

Why the depot matters

A machine down is measured in hours

When a truck stops, the loading bay stops with it. What decides how long that lasts is not the size of the supplier, it is whether an engineer with the right part is a short drive away.

That is what the eight centres are for. Each one keeps engineers, a parts store and hire machines on site, so a replacement and a visit can be arranged in the same conversation. Across the company, 92 out of every 100 callouts we attend are fixed on the first visit.

Servicing and repairs

One supplier, one agreement

Sites in more than one region

A company running warehouses in several parts of the country can hold them all on one agreement, with one point of contact and one invoice, while each site still deals with the centre nearest to it.

Fleet management, contract hire, planned servicing and the statutory LOLER thorough examinations all sit inside the same arrangement, so nothing has to be chased separately depot by depot.
