🚨 The 5th emergency service was called in…we are officially the 4th 🚨

When a valued customer needed a mast installing before their warehouse racking could be fitted, there wasn’t much room for delay.

So I called in the 5th emergency service — one of my best mates — and between us, we got the new mast installed and the forklift instated

Another job sorted, another customer kept on schedule, and most importantly, no racking installation held up. 💪

That’s what we’re here for at DLC Engineering — keeping things moving when they need to keep moving.

Sooo I’ve been missing in action due to being crazy busy which has been fun 😎😎

But this is a brilliant way to get back on the social media train…

So at the start of the year our best friends ask us a question I didn’t think I could say yes too. But 2 weeks ago I got to say yes and this is a wholesome moment….i got to have my best friends eldest do work experience with me and what a pleasure it was getting to show the next generation what the forklift industry is like. A mixture of repairs,breakdowns and servicing and how quickly we can get on with what our customers need on a daily basis.

Thank you Jamie Lemmon for giving it your all every day and see how I kept the sleeping picture for another day

🔧 Diagnosing and repairing another forklift issue on-site.

Electrical and control faults can sometimes start as small intermittent problems before turning into full breakdowns.

Tracking faults down properly early can save a lot of downtime and prevent bigger repair costs later on.

This Yale truck was in for drive tyre recuts and steer tyre replacement

Worn tyres and steering components can quickly affect:

⚠️ Stability
⚠️ Handling
⚠️ Operator safety
⚠️ Wear on other components

Replacing them early helps keep the truck safe, efficient and reliable during daily operation. Getting them recut where applicable can extend your tyre life expectancy by up to 45%

⚠️ 3 Signs Your Forklift Hydraulics Are Failing

Hydraulic issues don’t fix themselves — they get worse (and more expensive).

Here’s what to watch for:

1️⃣ Slow or jerky lifting
2️⃣ Visible leaks like this 👇
3️⃣ Loss of lifting power under load

Leaks like this are often ignored at first… but they usually lead to bigger problems if left.

Catching it early can prevent major downtime and costly repairs.

If your truck isn’t performing like it should, it’s worth getting it checked.

🔧 Rebuilding a hand pallet truck tiller arm

A small issue like this can take a truck completely out of action.

In this case, worn components meant poor control and unsafe operation — so it needed a full rebuild.

This is the kind of job that often gets overlooked until it becomes a bigger problem.

If your equipment isn’t feeling quite right, it’s worth getting it checked early.

🔋 Forklift not holding charge like it used to?

This was from a recent job — testing a battery that wasn’t performing properly.

At first glance, it’s easy to assume the battery needs replacing…
But often the issue is elsewhere 👇

⚠️ Loose or worn connections
⚠️ Corrosion affecting performance
⚠️ Charging faults
⚠️ Uneven cell condition

Catching it early can save a full battery replacement and avoid unexpected downtime.

If your forklift isn’t holding charge, it’s worth getting it checked properly.

⚠️ Signs your forklift battery is failing

Don’t wait for a full breakdown—your truck will usually warn you first:

🔋 Struggling to start
Taking longer than usual to turn over? That’s your first red flag.

🔋 Losing power under load
Lifts fine empty… struggles with weight? Battery isn’t holding up.

🔋 Not holding charge
Charging it fully but it’s draining quickly during the shift.

🔋 Needing frequent charging
If it’s not lasting a full shift anymore, something’s off.

🔋 Warning lights / electrical issues
Random faults or lights popping up can point to battery problems.

Ignoring it now usually leads to downtime later.

📞 If you’re noticing any of these, get it checked before it turns into a breakdown.

The most important piece of equipment in your warehouse… isn’t a forklift.

Most warehouses couldn’t function without them… yet they’re often overlooked.

Hand pallet trucks are one of the most vital tools in material handling—and here’s why 👇

🔧 They reduce manual strain
Moving heavy pallets by hand isn’t just inefficient—it’s unsafe. Pallet trucks allow one person to move serious weight with minimal effort.

💷 Cost-effective solution
No fuel, no charging, minimal maintenance. For many businesses, they’re the most practical handling tool on site.

📦 Built for tight spaces
From delivery lorries to small stockrooms, pallet trucks go where forklifts can’t.

⚡ Keep operations moving
No waiting for an operator. No startup time. Just grab and go.

🛠️ Reliable & low downtime
Simple design = fewer breakdowns and quick fixes when needed.

Even in sites with forklifts, pallet trucks do the day-to-day heavy lifting.

⚙️ We offer service plans and pallet truck replacements to keep your operation running without disruption.
