At Budget Forktrucks, we provide everything you need to keep your fleet of forklift trucks operating at peak performance. From forklift truck servicing and maintenance, to forklift truck repairs and genuine spare parts, our skilled team is here to support the continuous, reliable and safe operation of your material handling equipment – so you can focus on what matters most: running your business.
Regular servicing of forklift trucks is crucial to maximise the operational performance of your equipment and deliver long-term value for your investment. A well-maintained forklift truck ensures operational safety across your site and benefits from fewer breakdowns.
Manufacturers Specification: Your forklift truck should be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. This will ensure that operational elements, such as lubricating oil are changed or topped up frequently to maintain proper working order.
Operational Hours: Forklift trucks operating in intensive environments, such as multi-shift and 24-hour operations, naturally experience higher levels of wear and tear. While machines are engineered to perform under continuous operation, they will require maintenance on a more frequent basis.
Machinery Age: As forklift trucks age, they naturally accumulate wear and tear from many years of operation. To maintain reliability and performance, we recommend increasing the frequency of servicing to minimise the risk of unexpected downtime and maximise the return on your investment.
Over time, our skilled team of forklift truck service engineers will gain a detailed knowledge of your forklift fleet and operation. This in-depth experience allows for faster diagnostics, more efficient repairs, and consistently safe operation across your fleet.
Each forklift truck service engineer operates a fully stocked service vehicle, carrying a comprehensive range of replacement parts and service kits for different makes and models of forklift trucks – enabling on-the-spot repairs for most common issues. If a specialist part is required, our trusted supply chain ensures fast delivery – often with next-day availability and even same-day service for select items. All vehicles are EU6 compliant, allowing us to operate freely within Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) such as Greater London, Oxford, and Bristol.
Across the UK, the service and maintenance of all lifting equipment is governed by strict regulations to ensure safety and compliance. A key requirement is the Thorough Examination that must be carried out at least once every 12 months. Our skilled team of service engineers ensures your lifting equipment is safe to use and meets all legal safety standards, giving you peace of mind and helping to keep your operations running smoothly and safely.
