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