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 .
“ 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 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 .
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 .”
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 .
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 .”
