How quickly can an engineer get to Sligo?
We have engineers based in Mayo who cover Sligo and the north-west. Call 01 5267 411 and we’ll tell you when one can be with you.
Can I hire a forklift in Sligo?
Yes. We hire new EP trucks on 12-month contracts, priced by the week in euro, with servicing and the GA1 thorough examination included. We don’t do short-term hire.
Do you carry out GA1 examinations in Sligo?
Yes. A forklift needs a thorough examination at least every 12 months, recorded on a GA1 form, or every 6 months if it lifts people. Our engineers carry it out on your site, and the report goes into your online fleet portal.
Which trucks suit a medtech plant?
Usually electric stackers and pallet trucks beside clean areas, and a reach truck where the racking is high. They give off no fumes, and lithium-ion batteries need no battery room.
Do you cover Leitrim and north Roscommon?
Yes. We deliver across Sligo, Leitrim and north Roscommon on our own trailer. Delivery isn’t included in hire prices, so we price it with your truck.
