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