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