Thorough Examination - JD Forktrucks

At JD Forktrucks, we provide a comprehensive Thorough Examination service designed to ensure the ongoing safety, performance, and compliance of your forklift fleet. A Thorough Examination is a legal requirement under UK Health and Safety law, ensuring that your equipment is safe to operate and compliant with all necessary regulations.

Our qualified engineers conduct a detailed inspection of your forklifts, checking for mechanical faults, safety issues, and wear and tear that could impact performance or safety. This examination goes beyond standard servicing to include a full, thorough inspection of the forklift’s structure, safety features, and functionality.

The Thorough Examination is vital for businesses that operate forklifts, as it ensures your equipment meets the necessary safety standards and avoids potential legal issues related to unsafe equipment. Upon completion, you will receive a comprehensive report and, where applicable, certification to confirm your forklifts meet the required safety standards.

At JD Forktrucks, we offer flexible scheduling for Thorough Examinations, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations. We also provide advice on any repairs or maintenance required, helping you to maintain a safe and productive work environment.
