Parts Without the Wait

We hold a large stock of parts for many makes and models of forklift, so most repairs are finished without waiting for deliveries.

If a part is not in stock, we can usually get it within 24 hours. We only source parts from reputable manufacturers, and fitting is included in your written quote.

We can also supply a range of service exchange parts, which keeps the cost of a larger repair down.

Forklift Maintenance Services

Our forklift maintenance services cover planned work and emergencies alike. Once you book, a trained engineer comes to your premises and, where possible, carries out the job there and then.

MTE Services works on any make or model of forklift truck, as well as many other warehouse vehicles. We aim for fast response times and short repairs, so your operation keeps moving while your truck is looked after.

Breakdown Repairs

A fast response when a forklift stops working.

Call us with the make, model and fault, and we will give you an arrival time. Our engineer finds the cause, explains it, and repairs the truck on site wherever possible.

Planned Maintenance

Regular work that prevents bigger faults.

Planned maintenance packages give each truck a schedule based on its age, condition and use. Checking it regularly finds worn parts before they cause a breakdown.

Hydraulics and Masts

Lifting systems kept safe and smooth.

We inspect and repair the parts that do the lifting, including masts, chains and forks, as part of maintenance or when you notice a problem.

Engines and Fuel Systems

LPG, diesel and petrol trucks.

Our engineers know combustion forklifts well, from routine servicing to diagnosing engine faults, and carry the parts needed for most jobs.

Electric Forklifts

Electric trucks maintained and repaired.

We work on electric forklifts as well as LPG and diesel ones, so a mixed fleet can be looked after by one company.

Oil Health Checks

Hidden problems found early.

Oil checks can reveal water and dust contamination, oil that is no longer protecting the engine, or signs of component wear, before they turn into a serious failure such as engine damage.

Maintenance Packages for Your Fleet

We offer a range of planned contract maintenance packages as part of our materials handling service.

MTE Services builds a schedule for each truck, tailored to its age, condition and use, and our engineers keep to it, so your fleet spends less time out of action.

Whether you run one forklift or several, a maintenance package means fewer surprises and a clear record of the work done on every truck.

If you need a truck while yours is being repaired, we can supply a hire forklift for as long as the work takes.
