Forklift servicing in Bedford: common questions
Who comes out to Bedford?
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.
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 Rugby on our own transport.
How often does a truck in Bedford 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 does a forklift service cost in Bedford?
Servicing starts at £135 and thorough examinations at £135 for warehouse equipment. The figure depends on the machine, because a powered pallet truck and a diesel counterbalance are not the same job. Call 01708 861 414 with the make, model and hours and we will price yours.
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 Rugby covers both, the machine is off the job once, and you get the service record and the CFTS thorough examination report together.
