Barloworld Truckserve packages help to minimise unforseen repairs and unproductive downtime for used and new forklifts.
Barloworld has launched a service program to meet the legislation requirements and operational needs of UK companies that own new or used forklifts.

The program consists of two levels - Truckserve and Truckserve Plus - and includes scheduled maintenance programmes to minimise unforeseen repairs and unproductive downtime. Users select the package type according to operational needs and budget. Both are available for any make or type of forklift.

Truckserve is designed for forklifts that are used infrequently or in less intensive operations. It consists of a tailored service plan, annual brake inspection, truck condition report, tyre survey and 24-hour breakdown cover including same-day response.

Truckserve Plus is for more intensive operations where forklift use is critical to the business. In addition to the features in the standard Truckserve, it includes a maximum four-hour service response, annual thorough examinations to ensure companies meet their legal obligations under the UK's LOLER regulations, a battery topping-up service and annual anti-freeze replacement. There is also a planned equipment performance review, driver training assessments and customers get discounts on short-term hire equipment to boost capacity during peak periods.

Barloworld Handling, the world's largest independent forklift distributor, services the UK through its network of 1,100 support staff and 600 mobile engineers nationwide. As the UK's exclusive Hyster equipment distributor since 1956, Barloworld maintains nearly 30,000 forklifts in the UK.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
