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