Who books a forklift charger
Warehouse managers, yard owners and plant hire firms around Peterborough book this when a new truck arrives or an old charger fails. We cover Witham, Maldon, Stanway, Tiptree and the other Essex towns on the list.
- A new electric forklift on siteYou have taken delivery of a truck and the old petrol bay is no longer enough. We check the supply, fit the charger and leave the bay ready for overnight charging.
- A charger that no longer holds chargeThe existing unit trips, runs hot or will not finish a charge. We find the fault first, then replace the charger if the circuit is still sound.
- A second bay for a growing fleetYou need another charging point without shutting the warehouse. We plan the run so trucks can still move while the new bay goes in.
- A move to a new unitYou are taking a shed in Stanway, Witham or Brightlingsea and the last tenant left no charger. We fit one on the supply that is already in the building.
What happens on the day
We arrive at the warehouse, isolate the bay and complete testing with applicable paperwork when the install needs it.
- Arrival and isolationWe sign in, find the charging bay and isolate the circuit so trucks and staff can keep using the rest of the floor.
- Fitting the chargerWe mount the unit, terminate the tails and set the isolator. Cable is run only as far as the quote described.
- Testing and certificateWe test the circuit, show you the isolator and leave the certificate for the install.

“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppHow much does a forklift charger cost?
Forklift charger installation starts from £700 when the supply and bay are already suitable. A new circuit or a longer run is priced after we see the warehouse.
Do I need to shut the warehouse?
No. We isolate the charging bay only. The rest of the floor can stay in use.
Do you supply the charger?
We can fit a unit you have already bought. If you need us to buy one for you, that is priced separately from the £700 fitting figure.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Testing and applicable paperwork follow the electrical work once testing is complete. Lighting Electrical is NAPIT registered for that paperwork.
Can you fit a charger outside the Peterborough area?
Yes. We cover Witham, Maldon, Wivenhoe, Tiptree, Kelvedon, West Mersea, Stanway, Brightlingsea and the other Essex towns on our list.
