APC FORKS

Established in 2008, APC Forks has its Head Office in Stockport but mainly operates from its central location in the Midlands, giving excellent access to national coverage. Filling a problematic void in the market, APC Forks can satisfy the 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 150 plus machines, offering both two wheel and four wheel drive options to cater for the variable site requirements of its wide range of customers. The fleet is constantly growing and most units are less than three years old, ensuring customers are getting high quality, up to date equipment.

“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.

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.”

Certainly, the uses of the JCB Teletruk are versatile and numerous. “One of the JCB Teletruk’s key advantages is its telescopic boom, which allows for the loading and offloading on one side,” explained Stuart. This means that if a yard is tight on space or a customer needs to load and offload on a public highway, safety and efficiency is ensured. The JCB Teletruk is also a particular favourite with the waste industry, thanks to its high flexibility and ability to deal with any terrain with two or four wheel drive options. What’s more, the machines can be fitted with fire suppression system, making it ideal for the prevention of fires in the hardest environments. The JCB Teletruk also has no mast or carriage, meaning it is ideal when working with a bucket and grapple in challenging applications.

“We now have an ever increasing fleet of electric JCB Teletruks, which will only enhance the green option for our more environmentally conscious customers and applications.” The TLT30-19/35-22E gives customers 1,900/2,200 kg capacity at two metres, and are also available for nationwide hire.

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.”

The fact that APC Forks’ unbeatable adaptability is underpinned by committed customer service and quick response to queries makes the company the number one choice for companies in need of flexible JCB Teletruk hire.
