Costly expenditure for repairs can be considerably reduced by continual preventative maintenance of the truck. The benefits are obvious: your truck is always ready for operation, and follow up repairs can be planned in advance to suit your production process.

Thorough Examinations

It is a legal requirement that all trucks are inspected in accordance with the LOLER and PUWER Regulations whether you own, lease or hire a forklift. Failure to do so could invalidate your insurance, putting yourself and your company at risk of prosecution or worse, leading to an accident due to faulty equipment.

Similar to a car MOT, Thorough Examinations are a mandatory check to ensure that all the mechanical parts of your forklift are in a safe working order. As an accredited CFTS Thorough Examinations company, our examiners are certified to carry out Thorough Inspections for your forklifts.
