Forklift Repair and Maintenance Services
In order to safely transport materials at ports, shipping docks, construction sites and warehouses, pallet trucks or hand trucks and forklifts must be in good working condition. The capital investment of your company will serve you well in the long term if you have dependable forklift maintenance and repair services providing inspection, repair, overhaul and maintenance.
Companies can opt to train their own employees in house to provide forklift repair and forklift maintenance services, especially within large operations which have fleets of forklifts. The manufacturer of the equipment usually offers excellent documentation, like on line guides, CDs and repair manuals, to guide both mechanics and service engineers. The right set of tools and documentation is all you require for regular maintenance and for fixing and diagnosing minor problems. Common issues that need occasional addressing include those connected to power systems, fuel and emission systems, hydraulics, transmissions, brakes and diesel engines. If the issues require specialized knowledge or are more complicated, suppliers or dealers can normally be depended upon to offer assistance from authorized service repair centers. Nearly all repair centers are very responsive to calls and offer emergency 24-hour service and diagnostic testing.
Other aspects of forklifts which may require maintenance and repair include fluid levels, tires and axles, horns or alarms, lights, carriage and instruments and gauges. Forklift attachments also require maintenance, like for instance rotators, sideshifters, roll and barrel clamps, man baskets and drum handlers.
