Common Pump Truck Issues We Can Fix

Our skilled engineers diagnose and repair many pallet truck faults, often carrying out repairs directly on-site for your convenience. In some cases, where more extensive work is needed, we may take your pallet truck to our fully equipped workshop for full refurbishment.

Here are some of the common issues we face regularly and resolve:

  • Hydraulic Failures – Including leaking seals, damaged cylinders, and loss of lifting capability.
  • Stiff or Jammed Lifting Mechanisms – Caused by worn hydraulic components or trapped air within the system.
  • Damaged or Worn Wheels – Replacement and fitting of new polyurethane, nylon, or rubber wheels.
  • Broken Handles and Controls – Fixing or replacing faulty handles, triggers, and control mechanisms.
  • Structural Wear and Damage – Repairing bent forks, cracked frames, and other structural issues.
  • Electrical and Battery Issues (Electric Trucks) – Addressing problems like dead batteries, motor failures, and wiring faults.

Why Lifting Equipment Maintenance Matters

FOLLOWING LOLER HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS

If a pallet truck is faulty but still functional, it can be tempting to keep using it. But ignoring small faults can quickly turn into a major safety risk. Damaged hydraulics, worn wheels, and faulty lifting systems can easily lead to serious accidents, such as:

Load Slippage – Unstable or shifting loads caused by malfunctioning lift mechanisms.
Operator Injuries – Muscle strains, trapped fingers, and manual handling injuries from poorly functioning trucks.
Workplace Collisions – Faulty brakes, steering issues, or unresponsive controls create serious hazards.

Regular maintenance ensures your pallet trucks are operating safely and efficiently, helping to reduce the risk of accidents, protect your staff, and keep your business legally compliant.

Stay Compliant with PUWER & LOLER Regulations

PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) requires that all work equipment, including pallet trucks, is kept in a safe and fully operational state through regular inspections and maintenance.

LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) specifically covers lifting equipment like high-lift pallet trucks and electric models, making it a legal requirement to have them regularly examined for safety and functionality.

By investing in scheduled servicing and repairs, you’re not only protecting your team and your equipment — you’re also ensuring compliance with UK Health & Safety law and avoiding costly fines, insurance issues, and operational downtime.

Pallet Servicing FAQs

How long does a typical repair take?

It’s hard to give an accurate answer as it depends on the fault and the ease of repair but our engineers work hard to keep you informed and get you back up and running as quickly as possible.

What brands do you repair?

We can work on all makes and models of pallet trucks including electric pallet trucks. With our years of experience in the industry, we’ve seen it all and fixed it all!

Do you provide on-site repair services?

Yes, we do, however in certain cases of bad damage we may need to take the pallet truck back to our workshop for repair.

How often should I service my pallet truck?

Regular servicing is recommended every 6-12 months, depending on usage levels. High-traffic environments may require more frequent maintenance to ensure safety and compliance with PUWER and LOLER regulations.

Can you offer an emergency repair service?

Yes, we understand that breakdowns can disrupt your business. We offer fast-response servicing and call-outs to Bedford and nearby areas to get your equipment back up and running as quickly as possible.
