Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
8 of the 58 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 50 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 11 figures, never sentences; 109 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, minimum and maximum published price per service visit across every UK dealer and independent that publishes one, split by truck type (powered pallet truck, electric counterbalance, gas or diesel counterbalance, reach truck), by contract level (labour-only, planned preventative, full maintenance) and by region, beside the published engineer labour rate per hour and the callout and mileage charge; on top of that the figure nobody publishes - the ALL-IN annual cost of one truck, service visits at the interval the manufacturer sets plus the statutory Thorough Examination plus the wear items that are separately priced (tyres, battery) - and the SHARE of the trade that publishes anything at all, which the harvest measured at roughly a third of the pages read
109 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
