Why Should I Choose A CAT Forklift Truck?

Experienced Manufactures

Quality Service Programmes

Although CAT forklift trucks and material handling are known for being durable, robust and reliable machinery, from time to time it is always beneficial to perform a service on the operations to ensure that everything is ticking by as it should be and that your workforce is continuously safe while working with the equipment. With warranties in place on CAT machinery, it simply provides peace of mind to any investor or business owner when purchasing their forklift truck! With CAT equipment, you are guaranteed excellent customer service and product support from industry experts, which can include a Planned Maintenance and Total Maintenance and Repair programme

In addition to CAT Service Programmes, here at Permatt, as the North East’s leading forklift truck supplier, we can offer our outstanding Maintenance services to your workplace for when you purchase or hire a piece of material handling equipment from us. We will ensure that your equipment abides by industry safety laws, based on Servicing Programmes from: 

  • Three months
  • Six months

This can depend on the usage of the truck itself, and it is a simple procedure taking little to no time – not to mention providing ultra-convenience as our team can come to your workplace to carry out the inspection! We can also supply your business with the use of a replacement truck in the event of extra care needed to be undertaken on your machinery, meaning that your business will lose no time nor money throughout the process. And that’s a Permatt guarantee! 

Parts Availability

There can be nothing more inconvenient than when an issue arises with your forklift truck, and it looks like it may take a while for the specific part you need to come back into stock, or for you to get your hands on, would you agree? Well, one of the greatest benefits with CAT equipment is the great availability that you have for managing to secure the parts you need, with 97% of forklift parts being readily available. With this, you have the CAT guarantee that your dealer can be supplied with the right equipment and extra parts for when you need them.

Forklift Training in Newcastle

Our training programme is in place to ensure that your drivers are complying with the latest legislative requirements. Under no circumstance should anyone ever operate a heavy-duty machine handling piece of equipment without the essential training beforehand! Not to mention the number of dangers that you could cause to yourself, but also the risks and danger you could impose on the rest of your workforce if something were to go wrong. So whether you have never had forklift training before, or you would like to refresh your memory (which we do highly advise all of our customers do so!) then please don’t hesitate to get on the phone and give us a ring to book your training with our team today! It is our job to ensure that you fully understand the equipment you possess, and the best practises for the ultimate longevity of your machine. 

Forklift Truck Examination

The new national Thorough Examination is a legal requirement in place to ensure that every forklift truck is working in a safe and productive condition. Think of it like an MOT test for your car, van or motorbike – it must be performed by a knowledgeable professional, and done so every twelve months. Here at Permatt, we are accredited by the forklift truck Association enabling us to carry out the required tests with our experienced and qualified engineers. 

Spares

We can also supply your business with spares such as batteries, forks and chains to name a few, to keep your business running! Our team here at Permatt can also offer same-day delivery, and fit them for you if you require the assistance.
