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.

Is the work done at our premises?

Yes. Servicing, LOLER thorough examinations and most repairs are carried out at your site in Sittingbourne. 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 Sittingbourne 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.

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.
