Chatham covers Kent and the south east corner. It is a field base: engineers are on the road from it most of the day, and parts come down from Purfleet overnight when they are not already on the van.

Forklift servicing in Tonbridge: common questions
Who comes out to Tonbridge?
An engineer from our Southern Service Centre at Chatham, Kent (ME5 8RZ), about 15 miles from Tonbridge. 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.
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.
Can you cover several machines on one agreement?
Yes. A maintenance contract across a fleet in Tonbridge 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.
Who is responsible for the LOLER examination, us or you?
The duty sits with whoever has control of the equipment at work, so on your own machines it is yours. What we do is carry it out, issue the report and keep the schedule, which is the part that usually gets missed.
