Forklift servicing in Preston: common questions
Who comes out to Preston?
An engineer from our Liverpool Service Centre at Prescot, Merseyside (L34 9HN), about 25 miles from Preston. 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.
Can you cover several machines on one agreement?
Yes. A maintenance contract across a fleet in Preston 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.
Is the work done at our premises?
Yes. Servicing, LOLER thorough examinations and most repairs are carried out at your site in Preston. The workshop at Prescot is there for the heavier jobs, and we arrange transport both ways when a machine needs it.
How often does a truck in Preston 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.
