Forklift Maintenance and Repair Services
In order to safely transport materials at ports, shipping docks, construction sites and warehouses, pallet trucks or hand trucks and forklifts should be in good working condition. Your company's capital investment will serve you well in the long term if you have reliable forklift maintenance and repair services offering repair, inspection, overhaul and maintenance.
Companies could choose to train their own personnel in house to provide forklift maintenance and forklift repair services, especially in large operations that have fleets of forklifts. The equipment manufacturer generally provides excellent documentation, such as on-line guides, CDs and repair manuals, 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 that need addressing occasionally consist of those connected to power systems, fuel and emission systems, hydraulics, transmissions, diesel engines and brakes. If the problems are more complicated or need specialized knowledge, dealers or suppliers could usually be depended upon to provide help from authorized service repair centers. Nearly all repair centers are very responsive to calls and provide diagnostic testing and emergency 24-hour service.
Other aspects of forklifts that may require maintenance and repair include tires and axles, fluid levels, lights, horns or alarms, gauges and instruments, and carriage. Forklift attachments also need maintenance, such as barrel and roll clamps, rotators, sideshifters, drum handlers and man baskets.
