Forklift Repair and Maintenance Services
Forklifts and pallet trucks or hand trucks need to be in good working condition to be able to move bulk supplies safely at warehouses, ports, shipping docks and construction sites. Your company's capital investment would truly serve you well in the long term if you have dependable forklift maintenance and repair services providing repair, inspection, maintenance and overhaul.
To provide forklift maintenance and repair services, companies have the choice to train their employees in house. Specifically those companies that have fleets of forklifts in large operations. The manufacturer of the equipment usually offers excellent documentation, such as repair manuals, on-line guides, and CDs, to guide both service engineers and mechanics. The right set of tools and documentation is all you require for regular maintenance and for diagnosing and fixing minor issues. Common issues which need addressing occasionally include those related to power systems, fuel and emission systems, hydraulics, transmissions, brakes and diesel engines. If the problems require specialized knowledge or are more complicated, dealers or suppliers can often be depended upon to provide help from authorized service repair centers. Most service repair centers are very responsive to calls and provide emergency 24-hour service and diagnostic testing.
Other aspects of forklifts that may need repair and maintenance include fluid levels, axles and tires, alarms or horns, lights, carriage and gauges and instruments. Forklift attachments also require maintenance, like rotators, sideshifters, roll and barrel clamps, man baskets and drum handlers.
