About Us

Our history

Established over 40 years, Robur was created to meet the growing demand for bespoke materials handling solutions.

Customer requirements are becoming increasingly specialised, which has meant that we have grown to become one of the largest suppliers of bespoke materials handling equipment to UK dealers, their end-users, as well as directly to the end customer.

Our technical and engineering capabilities have allowed us to grow our dealer network to what it is today.

Your unique unit goes into manufacture at our dedicated factory and we provide updates on its progress.

Delivery

Every unit undergoes a full Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) at our head office before being delivered to a customer located anywhere in the UK.

Support and Warranty

Our expert team of engineers provide ongoing technical support and customer assistance.

Robur offers parts and labour warranty on all machines during the first 12 months or the first 1000 hours, whichever is sooner.

Over 90% of parts are available the next day from our UK parts centre. While Robur can provide ongoing support, the majority of our customers choose to include this under their fleet arrangement via their incumbent provider.
