Forklift Maintenance and Repair Services
In order to safely move supplies at shipping docks, ports, construction sites and warehouses, pallet trucks or hand 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 repair and maintenance services providing repair, inspection, overhaul and maintenance.
To provide forklift repair and maintenance services, companies have the option to train their employees in house. Specifically those companies which have fleets of forklifts in large operations. The equipment manufacturer usually offers excellent documentation, such as CDs, repair manuals and on line guides, to guide service engineers and mechanics. The right documentation and set of tools are all you need for diagnosing and fixing minor problems and for regular maintenance. Common problems that require addressing occasionally include those connected to emission and fuel systems, power systems, transmissions, hydraulics, diesel engines and brakes. If the problems are more complicated or require specialized knowledge, dealers or suppliers can normally be depended upon to give assistance 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 might require repair and maintenance consist of tires and axles, levels of fluids, lights, horns or alarms, gauges and instruments, and carriage. Forklift attachments also need maintenance, like for example barrel and roll clamps, rotators, sideshifters, drum handlers and man baskets.
