Service & Maintenance

Whether you have purchased your handling equipment from us or elsewhere, we have the right Preventative Maintenance Plan available for you.

We offer on-site service and repair to any make of hand pallet truck in addition to many makes of manual lifters and powered equipment. Please feel free to contact us to discuss service to equipment that falls outside of these categories.

We service other manual handling equipment such as parcel cages, sack trucks, trolleys and steps. We ensure that your fleet receives the regular safety inspections required by law.

Finally we are happy to offer you our equipment ID Plating free of charge. We will plate your equipment with a unique identification number, and will hold complete computerised records of all service and inspection work carried out to each individual truck. ID plating allows you to stay in control of your equipment costs and is an invaluable tool for both budget and health and safety audits.

At all times you can expect our engineers to give you honest, independent advice. We pride ourselves on a job well done at a fair price.
