Permatt are accredited by the Forklift Truck Association, which allows us to carry out the national Thorough Examination of forklifts that is a legal requirement to ensure each truck is in a safe and productive condition. The forklift examination is similar to an MOT test for motor vehicles, and must be performed by a qualified company every 12 months. Permatt will carry out the required tests for your forklift truck with our experienced and qualified engineers.
