Forklift Maintenance and Repair Services
In order to safely move materials at shipping docks, ports, warehouses and construction sites, hand trucks or pallet trucks and forklifts must be in good working condition. The capital investment of your company would serve you well in the long term if you have dependable forklift repair and maintenance services providing inspection, repair, maintenance and overhaul.
To provide forklift maintenance and repair services, companies have the choice to train their employees in house. Especially those companies which have fleets of forklifts in large operations. The manufacturer of the equipment generally 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 need for regular maintenance and for fixing and diagnosing minor problems. Common issues which need addressing occasionally include those related to power systems, emission and fuel systems, transmissions, hydraulics, brakes and diesel engines. If the issues are more complicated or need specialized knowledge, suppliers or dealers could normally be depended upon to give help from authorized service repair centers. The majority of repair centers are very responsive to calls and provide diagnostic testing and emergency 24-hour service.
Other aspects of forklifts that may need maintenance and repair include levels of fluids, axles and tires, horns or alarms, lights, gauges and instruments, and carriage. Forklift attachments also require maintenance, such as rotators, sideshifters, barrel and roll clamps, man baskets and drum handlers.
