Forklift Transport

Recognising that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t apply to forklift transport, Acclaim Handling offers customised solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by businesses. The company collaborates closely with clients to design a fleet that precisely meets their requirements, whether it’s compact electric forklifts for narrow aisles or robust diesel-powered units for heavy-duty applications. Acclaim Handling’s commitment extends beyond the point of purchase, providing comprehensive support and training programs to ensure operators possess the knowledge and skills needed for safe and efficient forklift operation.

Forklifts that are operated on the road must be registered with the DVLA. They are required to have licence plates, pay taxes, and be insured. They must also have appropriate lighting, including an amber beacon, while travelling at less than 25 mph.
Vehicles travelling more than 1000 yards must conform with the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations, which will almost certainly require significant vehicle modification. If the distance travelled is less than 1000 yards, such as across the road from one location to another, the vehicle may not need to be modified to meet these specifications.

Utilising our own Regional Vehicles as well as our National Logistics Partners, we can move any type of machine anywhere in the UK for you at short notice, at competitive prices. This can be for short, or long term, hire requirements, site relocations or for prop up machines for breakdowns.
