Forklift servicing in Chelmsford: common questions
Who comes out to Chelmsford?
An engineer from our Head Office South East at Rainham, Essex (RM13 9UL), about 25 miles from Chelmsford. 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.
Do you hire machines out in Chelmsford?
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. Machines come from the same fleet our engineers maintain, so a hire truck is on the same service schedule as a bought one.
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 Rainham covers both, the machine is off the job once, and you get the service record and the CFTS thorough examination report together.
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.
What hours do your engineers work?
Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. There is also a 24/7 breakdown callout number for a machine that stops outside those hours. A callout carries a callout charge and travel on top of the work itself.
