Servicing & RePairs FAQ

Can you service my tool?

We can carry out general service and repairs for all of our branded hydraulic product ranges. We do not service or repair third party products.

I have damaged my tool and am in need of repair, how long do repairs usually take?

Once we have received your tool for repair, we will have one of our technicians carry out diagnostics and see what the problem is. A technician will then provide you with a quotation along with an ETA before carrying out the repair.

For any claims, a full assessment of the item in question must be carried out by one of our technicians. All original components, accessories, cases & manuals/service booklets must accompany the item also.

All items that are received for assessment or repairs will be shipped back to the end user on their expense or nominated freight/shipping method. Any items that are left for 30 days with no successful communication with the end user will be treated as abandoned.

Do I need to pay my repair invoice before the repair work is carried out?

Yes, we treat all paid repair & service invoices as a customer confirmation for the repair/service to go ahead.
