"We did have an existing relationship with On3 and
I must say that they are fantastic to deal with. Their
track record on servicing and hire is excellent. I feel
privileged to be able to deal with them. I hope they feel
the same.”
Marc Hodges, Tudor Rose International
“We've got half a dozen different areas that rely
on us to get things right in the warehouse. That means
we want a company that we can trust to sort out our requirements
promptly and efficiently.”
Stuart Thompson, Q Medical
“We are delighted with the results. The site runs
smoothly, we were well informed and looked after throughout
the construction stages, and the business continues to
grow well as a result.”
 John
Verdon, Avon Metals
"I could not find anything to compete with the inherent
build quality of the Daewoo range and that was before
we talked prices! Our operators love these trucks and
converting manual tasks to forklift operations has made
their lives a whole lot easier"

Say Goodbye To Your Old Supplier & Hello To On3!
Just slip out the back, Jack! If only it was that simple.
Saying goodbye to your unreliable, old-fashioned, expensive materials
handling supplier can prove to be a bit of a problem.
In fact, three quarters of the companies moving to On3 experience
more than just the odd skeleton in the closet when they look at
terminating their contracts.
To avoid any nasty surprises when kicking out the old guard, make
sure you’ve checked out our 5 point “leaving your lovers’
guide”...
It may sound obvious, but when you’re about to terminate your
existing arrangement with your forklift supplier, the most important
thing you can do is understand exactly what it is you’re terminating!
1. Know Your Contract End Date
“Confirm your contract end date,” says On3’s rental
manager, Paul Tucker.
“”Check if there is a notice period - a minimum period
contract - or whether this is a fixed term contract.
You may find, for example, that your contract period is 60 months,
plus the notice period.”
2. What Are Your Excess Hours?
Your existing contract is likely to specify the maximum amount of
hours your equipment can work over the period of the contract.
If you exceed those hours you may get a nasty surprise. “We
know one user that was charged £6,000 for the excess hours
on two reach trucks - each!” says Paul.

Unscrupulous Forklift Companies
Consolidated Fork Truck Services, a joint venture between BITA and
FLTA has accused some "unscrupulous" dealers of failing
to provide a Report of Thorough Examination certificate arguing
that the annual exam is an important legal requirement that helps
confirm when equipment is safe to use.
The CFTS said that there were some companies operating trucks
without an up-to-date certificate and were unwittingly risking
their employees' safety. Steve Hodkinson, chairman of CFTS said:
"This unacceptable situation is the direct result of a lack
of understanding of thorough examination in the industry as a
whole."
Small Is Best
It's official: Employees of small businesses have more fun than
those in large firms. The Government's latest survey of workplace
employment relations confirms that you get more belly laughs in
a firm that employs fewer than 10 people. Typical, we're up to
12!
