Who comes out to Kent
Your service centre
Southern Service Centre
Chatham covers Kent and the south east corner. It is a field base: engineers are on the road from it most of the day, and parts come down from Purfleet overnight when they are not already on the van.

A second centre working the same ground, so there is fleet and engineering capacity behind a Kent job whatever the machine. Acclaim services and examines equipment the length and breadth of the UK, and Kent sits well inside that.

Forklift servicing in Kent: common questions
Who comes out to Kent?
An engineer from our Southern Service Centre at Chatham, Kent (ME5 8RZ). 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.
Can we hire a machine while ours is off the road?
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. The hire fleet is the same STILL, Hyundai and Lonking equipment we sell and service.
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.
Is the work done at our premises?
Yes. Servicing, LOLER thorough examinations and most repairs are carried out at your site in Kent. The workshop at Chatham is there for the heavier jobs, and we arrange transport both ways when a machine needs it.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Yes. Kent is worked from our Southern Service Centre, and Acclaim services and examines equipment the length and breadth of the UK from eight regional centres, so a business with sites in more than one region deals with one supplier.
