Every so often when working within the construction trade, it is likely that you’ll require the assistance of a particular tool or piece of equipment which you don’t have in your armoury. Instead of popping to your local tool specialists and buying the said tool/piece of equipment (knowing full well that it’ll only be used once in a blue moon); why not contact a tool and equipment specialist and hire the apparatus for as long as you need it? Here at MJC, we’re able to provide forklift Reading and telehandlers for hire for as long as required.
Hiring a forklift is as simple as contacting us here at MJC, informing us of what type of forklift you require and waiting for it to arrive. However, as the hirer there are a number of responsibilities that you’ll be accountable for, all of which can be seen in our terms and conditions. However, below is a snippet of these responsibilities.
Delivery of vehicle:
The first thing that you are responsible for, before the forklift is delivered to your site is to ensure that you have relevant insurance, especially for the day to day usage of said machinery.
Here at MJC we regularly maintain and service our equipment, but it is important that when the forklift arrives on site, you, the hirer, inspect it to ensure that everything is as it should be. If you do for some reason detect a fault, then as part of the rental agreement, you need to inform us immediately and we’ll rectify the situation.
It’s also the responsibility of the hirer to unload the equipment when it arrives and load it onto the removal vehicle at the end of the agreement.
Use of vehicle:
Like cars or motorbikes etc, every forklift is different to operate. It’s therefore your responsibility to ensure that you have been instructed on the safe and proper use of the vehicle you’re hiring. Whilst it is left on your site, it’s also your responsibility to ensure that it isn’t used illegally or by anyone who hasn’t received training or isn’t insured to use the forklift Reading. As long as these conditions are met, you’ll have use of top quality machinery for as long as required.
