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