Forklift servicing in Portsmouth: common questions

Who comes out to Portsmouth?

An engineer from our South Coast Centre at Cosham, Portsmouth (PO6 3TJ), under 10 miles from Portsmouth. 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 take a machine short term instead of buying?

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. Attachments, access equipment and industrial cleaning machinery hire on the same agreement.

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 Cosham covers both, the machine is off the job once, and you get the service record and the CFTS thorough examination report together.

Are parts carried on the van?

The common wear items are: filters, brake parts, hydraulic seals, forks, tyres, bulbs and belts. Anything less common is ordered against your machine's serial number and fitted on a return visit.

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.
