If your business depends on forklift trucks, pallet trucks or warehouse equipment, regular servicing is not just a useful precaution — it is essential for safety, productivity and legal compliance. At Kent Pallet Trucks, we provide forklift service and maintenance across Kent and East Sussex, helping local businesses keep their equipment working safely, efficiently and with minimal downtime.
Why Regular Forklift Servicing Matters
Forklifts work hard every day, often in demanding environments such as warehouses, yards, distribution centres, farms and manufacturing sites. Without proper maintenance, small issues can quickly become expensive breakdowns, safety risks or operational delays. A planned forklift maintenance programme helps extend the life of your equipment, reduce unexpected repair costs and keep your team moving.

Kent Pallet Trucks offers local forklift servicing, examination, repair and fleet support for businesses throughout Kent, East Sussex and the wider South East. Our experienced mobile engineers work on many makes and models, arriving on site with equipped service vans to help get your forklift trucks, pallet trucks and warehouse machines back to work as quickly as possible.
Tailored Maintenance Plans to Suit Your Operation
Every business uses its materials handling equipment differently. Some companies have one forklift for occasional use, while others run mixed fleets across multiple sites. That is why Kent Pallet Trucks can provide preventative maintenance, routine servicing and fixed-price support options tailored to your needs. From servicing during quieter periods to ongoing site support, we help remove the uncertainty of unexpected maintenance costs.
LOLER Thorough Examinations and Legal Compliance
Forklift trucks are classed as lifting equipment, which means many businesses must ensure they are properly examined and maintained under LOLER and PUWER requirements. A Thorough Examination is a formal inspection designed to confirm that lifting equipment remains safe to use. For most forklifts, this is required at least every 12 months, and some equipment or applications may require more frequent checks.
Kent Pallet Trucks can help you understand when your next forklift LOLER examination is due and arrange servicing or repairs where required. Keeping accurate inspection records and acting quickly on defects supports both workplace safety and compliance.
