Forklift Repair and Maintenance Services
Forklifts and pallet trucks or hand trucks need to be in good working condition to be able to transport bulk materials safely at ports, warehouses, construction sites and shipping docks. Your company's capital investment will serve you well in the long term if you have reliable forklift repair and maintenance services providing inspection, repair, overhaul and maintenance.
Companies can choose to train their own employees in house to provide forklift maintenance and forklift repair services, specifically within big operations which have fleets of forklifts. The manufacturer of the equipment normally provides excellent documentation, such as CDs, repair manuals and online guides, to guide both mechanics and service engineers. The correct documentation and set of tools are all you need for regular maintenance and for fixing and diagnosing minor issues. Common problems which require occasional addressing consist of those connected to emission and fuel systems, power systems, hydraulics, transmissions, diesel engines and brakes. If the problems are more complicated or require specialized knowledge, dealers or suppliers can usually be depended upon to provide assistance from certified service repair centers. Most service repair centers are very responsive to calls and offer emergency 24-hour service and diagnostic testing.
Other aspects of forklifts which might need repair and maintenance comprise fluid levels, tires and axles, lights, horns or alarms, instruments and gauges, and carriage. Forklift attachments also require maintenance, like sideshifters, barrel and roll clamps, rotators, drum handlers and man baskets.
