About Compass Forklift Trucks

We are a local family firm, with our Head Office in Launceston, with 8 engineers on the road covering Devon, Cornwall and Somerset – offering servicing, sales and hire for all types of forklift trucks and materials handling equipment.

We have been established for 21 years and are pleased to say that we are one of the South West’s dealers and authorised supplier of spare parts for TCM forklifts, Nexen Forklifts, EP forklifts and Combilift and JCB products. Our policy is to supply a consistently high quality service and product that meets the needs of our customer, and we have a proven successful track record of which we are extremely proud.

Our engineers have a wide range of experience within the forklift and materials handling industry including manufacturers such as Linde, Samuk, OM, Caterpillar, Mitsubishi, Moffet, Nexen, Still, Toyota, Daewoo (Doosan), Kelvin, Hyster, JCB and many more, and we are confident that we are able to deal with all manner of issues, big or small.

We pride ourselves on remaining competitive and our standard service charges start at £85.00 (for a counterbalance forklift truck) plus parts and oils, with our hourly labour charge being £47.50. We do not charge for call outs, just our hourly rate applies (so from when we leave our premises/previous job site it’s £47.50 per hour til your job is complete or we’ve finished on your site). All our charges are subject to VAT.

We try to accommodate all of our customers needs and can specifically tailor a servicing schedule for your requirements. We recognise that it is in our customers’ interests to set up a regular ongoing facility in order that the machines remain maintained in order to minimise breakdowns. In addition we are CFTS accredited and can carry out Thorough Examination safety checks and issue certificates (the mandatory annual safety inspection covering LOLER and PUWER guidelines).The cost per truck for this inspection is £100 plus VAT.

Of course we can also supply new or used machines to buy or hire and all relevant parts too!
