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