APC Forks
Established in 2008, APC Forks has its
Head Office in Stockport and works
mainly from its central location in
Wolverhampton. Filling a problematic
void in the market, APC Forks was born
out of a growing need for short and long
term hiring of the JCB Teletruk. Since
its inception, the company has grown
its high quality fleet to encompass 140
machines, offering both two wheel
and four wheel drive options to cater
for the variable site requirements of
its wide range of customers. This fleet
is constantly growing and most units
are less than three years old, ensuring
customers are getting high quality
equipment every time. APC Forks, a company can react quickly
to new business opportunities and if a
project does not go ahead, equipment
can be returned without any penalties.
“Our hiring services are highly flexible,
so our customers can get the machine
without having to commit to a long-
term contract,” explained Stuart Hunter,
Director. Indeed, the JCB Teletruks
are hired straight from APC Forks
rather than via a finance house, where
companies can be locked in a deal for
extensive periods of time. With APC
Forks’ flexible hire service, which
ranges from just one week to seven
years, customers can use the machine
for as long or short amount of time as
they need. Indeed, with high levels of
uncertainty currently in the marketplace,
such flexibility is essential; thanks to The JCB Teletruk is unique in that
it combines the functions of a
counterbalanced forklift with those of a
re-handling shovel, making it the most
flexible forklift on the market today. The
entirety of APC Forks’ fleet has a quick-
change front, which makes switching
between various attachments quick and
easy. These attachments can include
forks, sideshifts, buckets, bale clamps,
rotators, and many more. Furthermore,
JCB Teletruk’s all-round visibility is
superior to a conventional forklift,
making it one of the safest machines
available.
APC Forks’ fleet of machines feature
generic specifications in order to cover
a multitude of applications, including
solid tyres and extra hydraulics which
make them perfect for the vast variety
of applications. Indeed, the JCB Teletruk
boasts unique features and benefits
over any conventional forklift, and APC
Forks maintains a flexible approach to
try and marry a hire agreement to suit a
customer’s needs.

“The JCB Teletruk is great for a vast
range of applications,” explained Stuart.
“These include waste management,
builders’ merchants, grounds
maintenance, inner city projects,
Crossrail, London underground, and
many others.”
Looking to the future, APC Forks will
be maintaining its high quality and
versatile services, regularly enhancing
its fleet. “We update our fleet on a
regular basis to keep up with the latest
product enhancements, ensuring we are
offering up to date equipment for our
customers. We want to keep growing,
and to continue to support infrastructure
and industry.”
