Membership of the UKMHA offers many benefits, one of them being the ability to notify the membership about a stolen forklift truck.
UKMHA legacy organisation, the Fork Lift Truck Association first introduced the Report a Stolen Forklift Truck service and the UKMHA is now proud to have taken over responsibility for the service.
From its inception, the service has helped to protect firstly FLTA, and now UKMHA members from criminal losses by notifying them of stolen trucks. Any member who falls victim to a stolen truck can complete a form on the UKMHA website listing the make, model, serial number, truck type and capacity of the truck.
Further information such as power source or fuel type, type of mast, colour and the truck’s last known location, along with the circumstances of the surrounding the theft can all be listed.
Finally, the member can state whether the police have been notified and a contact should the truck be found, along with their company details.
Stolen trucks are listed in their own section of the UKMHA homepage news feed, as well as the new searchable Stolen Truck Database.
Rob Fisher, Director, UKMHA said: “Fork Lifts Trucks are expensive pieces of equipment which makes them attractive to thieves and therefore the UKMHA encourages all its members to ensure their trucks are kept secure at all times. Sadly, nothing is foolproof, and thefts will occur.
“The Stolen Trucks Database is an invaluable reference tool for members who are unlucky enough to have equipment stolen. It is also useful if members are looking to buy used equipment then they can check to see if the truck has not been stolen. If it does match a machine on the database then we encourage our members to report the matter to the police.”
The Stolen Trucks Database is just one of the many benefits of UKMHA membership.
