Fast Response When You Need It Most
When a forklift breaks down, the clock starts ticking immediately, because an idle machine can bring an entire operation to a halt. That is why a fast, dependable response matters so much, and it is something B & S Forklifts takes real pride in. Our team of skilled engineers helps with emergency breakdowns across the North East, and we aim to get your forklift back working within hours rather than days.
We understand the pressure a breakdown puts on your business, from missed deadlines to disrupted workflows, and we treat every callout with the urgency it deserves. Our engineers arrive prepared and work to diagnose the fault quickly so that repairs can begin without delay. By responding fast and fixing the problem properly the first time, B & S Forklifts helps keep your downtime to a minimum and get your operation moving again as soon as possible.
Repairs for All Forklift Brands
A breakdown is stressful enough without having to track down a specialist for your particular make of machine, which is why our repair service covers a wide range of forklift brands. While we are the North East's authorised CAT® dealer, our engineers are experienced in repairing trucks from many different manufacturers, so you can rely on us whatever badge your forklift carries. This is especially useful for businesses running mixed fleets, as it means a single trusted partner can handle every repair rather than several different providers.
Whether your machine is gas, diesel or electric, our team has the knowledge and experience to put it right. We work to a very high standard, using our deep understanding of the equipment to carry out repairs correctly rather than simply applying a quick fix. Keeping all of your repairs under one roof saves you time and gives you confidence that the job has been done properly.
Keeping Your Forklift Compliant and Reliable
A repair is about more than just getting a machine moving again, it is about making sure that machine is safe and reliable once it returns to work. Forklifts are powerful pieces of equipment, and a fault that is patched rather than properly resolved can create real risks for the people who use them. Our engineers carry out repairs thoroughly, addressing the underlying cause rather than just the symptom, so your truck is genuinely fit to return to service. We can also advise on whether a recurring problem points to a wider maintenance need, helping you avoid the same breakdown happening again.
Because we understand the regulations that apply to lifting equipment, we keep safety and compliance front of mind throughout every repair. The result is a forklift that not only works again but works safely, giving you confidence that your machine is ready for the demands of daily use.
