Forklift servicing in Watford: common questions

Who comes out to Watford?

An engineer from our Head Office South East at Purfleet, Essex (RM15 4YD). 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.

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 Watford 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.
