United Forklifts and Access Equipment Solutions, previously known as United Equipment, has been operating strongly since 1973. The company has recently rebranded with a new name and style following our successful growth over the last 3 years. Our ambition is to be the best lifting solutions business in Australia. The change in name was to demonstrate more clearly what we are all about. When businesses want materials handling or access equipment, such as forklifts, telehandlers, scissor lifts or boom lifts, we want them to think of us first. With offices in most states across Australia, we offer a huge range backed by a service and support network second to none.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

What’s it like working at United Equipment?

AI summary of recent reviews

Employees at United Equipment appreciate working with great colleagues and the new benefits program offering a 9-day fortnight and additional leave. The support from National Head Office, particularly for those new to their roles, and the diversity fostering new friendships are also seen as positives. Some employees view the workshop and facilities positively.

However, there are some potential challenges such as concerns about poor management structure and lack of support from managers. The high stress environment with high staff turnover is an issue for some. There are indications the company may be understaffed and under-resourced in certain areas. As a medium-sized organisation, career progression opportunities can be limited. Employees also highlight the ongoing need for training and development in their roles.
