Forklift servicing in Rochester: common questions

Who comes out to Rochester?

An engineer from our Southern Service Centre at Chatham, Kent (ME5 8RZ), under 10 miles from Rochester. 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.

What does a forklift service cost in Rochester?

Servicing starts at £135 and thorough examinations at £135 for warehouse equipment. The figure depends on the machine, because a powered pallet truck and a diesel counterbalance are not the same job. Call 01708 861 414 with the make, model and hours and we will price yours.

What happens if a machine stops mid-shift?

Call 01708 861 414. A breakdown callout runs 24/7 and the engineer arrives with a stocked van, which is why 92% of callouts are fixed on the first visit. If a repair is going to take longer, we can get a replacement machine to you.

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.
