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