Forklift servicing in Maidstone: common questions
Who comes out to Maidstone?
An engineer from our Southern Service Centre at Chatham, Kent (ME5 8RZ), under 10 miles from Maidstone. 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 Chatham on our own transport.
How often does a truck in Maidstone 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.
Is the work done at our premises?
Yes. Servicing, LOLER thorough examinations and most repairs are carried out at your site in Maidstone. The workshop at Chatham is there for the heavier jobs, and we arrange transport both ways when a machine needs it.
Can you cover several machines on one agreement?
Yes. A maintenance contract across a fleet in Maidstone fixes the schedule, the parts and the examination dates in one place, and larger fleets can be run through our fleet management service with a portal to see the whole picture.
