We are The Forklift Pro, a mobile forklift service team that comes to your Gastonia facility. Our techs repair, maintain, and service forklifts on-site so you do not lose a day hauling units across town. One call gets a tech rolling to your dock with tools and diagnostics ready.
Our forklift maintenance in Gastonia covers propane, electric, and diesel units. We handle scheduled service, breakdown repair, tire and battery replacement, and parts work. Whether you run two lifts or twenty, we plan the visit around your fleet.
Gastonia anchors a busy stretch of the I-85 manufacturing corridor west of Charlotte. Plants and distribution centers line Cox Road, the US-321 interchange, and the Gateway85 park between Gastonia and Lowell. Our techs work this corridor often and reach your dock fast.
We work Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM. Call 704-716-3636 to schedule a visit or check next-day availability at your facility.

Scheduled Maintenance for Gastonia’s Manufacturing Floors
Scheduled maintenance keeps your Gastonia fleet productive between repair calls. A single lift on a production line can run 8 to 10 hours per shift. Skip a service window and small issues turn into shutdowns.
Our maintenance plans match how often your fleet actually runs. A high-use lift on a Cox Road dock needs more visits than one running a few hours a day. We set the schedule based on hour meter readings, not a calendar guess.
- Each visit covers the basics that prevent breakdowns:
- Hydraulic fluid, oil, and filter checks
- Brake and steering inspection
- Mast chain tension and roller wear
- Tire condition and pressure
- Battery cell tests on electric units
- Spark plugs, belts, and hoses on propane and diesel units
We log every service with notes on what we found and what to watch. Your manager gets a clean paper trail for fleet planning. Over time, the records show which lifts cost the most to keep alive and which ones are ready to retire.
Some service vendors skip the small stuff and just sign the sheet. That is how a $200 hydraulic leak turns into a $4,000 cylinder job. We catch it on the first pass and write it down.
Mobile Breakdown Repair Across the I-85 Corridor
A dead forklift in Gastonia stops everything around it. Pallets stack up at the dock, drivers wait at the gate, and your team starts shuffling work to other lifts. The faster the repair starts, the faster the floor moves again.
Our mobile breakdown service brings the shop to your facility. We send a tech with a stocked truck, common parts, and the diagnostic tools needed for most makes. From Cox Road plants to Gateway85 warehouses, our techs already know how to get on-site without getting stuck in dock traffic.
- Here is how the call usually runs:
- You call 704-716-3636 and describe what the lift is doing
- A tech is routed to your facility based on what is closest and what parts are likely needed
- We diagnose on-site and confirm what the fix requires
- If the parts are on the truck, we repair that day
- If a part needs ordering, we lock in a return visit and keep you posted
We do not promise a same-day repair on every call. Some failures need a control board, mast assembly, or hydraulic part that has to come from a supplier. What we do promise is honest timing and no surprise charges once the part arrives.
Brands we service often in Gastonia include Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, CAT, Mitsubishi, Doosan, and Clark. If you run a mixed fleet, one call covers all of them.
Flexible Scheduling Around Your Production Shifts
Production floors in Gastonia do not all run the same hours. Some plants near the US-321 interchange run a single day shift. Distribution centers along I-85 may run longer or split shifts. We work Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM, and we plan service to fit your slowest stretch inside those hours.
Most customers book a maintenance window during a slower point on the floor. A late-morning visit on a single-shift plant works well. A 7 AM visit before the dock heats up works better for a busy distribution site. Tell us how the floor runs and we will fit the work into a window that suits you.
- A few scheduling notes worth knowing:
- We work Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM
- We are not a 24-hour shop, so plan urgent work during business hours
- Multi-lift sites are usually best handled across two visits to avoid downtime on the floor
If your operation runs lean on lifts, we can work on one unit while you keep using the other. That keeps the dock moving while the maintenance gets done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get a tech to my Gastonia facility?
Most service calls in Gastonia get a tech routed the same business day. Our base in Pineville sits about 28 miles east, with a direct I-85 connection. When you call 704-716-3636, we look at where our techs are working that day and route from there. During heavy weeks, the slot might fall the next morning instead.
What forklift brands do you service?
We service all major brands, including Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, CAT, Mitsubishi, Doosan, Clark, and Linde. If you run a mixed fleet, one call covers every unit. Less common brands are usually fine too. Tell us the make and model when you call so we bring the right parts.
Do you offer same-day forklift repair in Gastonia?
Same-day repair depends on the part needed and the technician schedule. We can usually get out the same day for a diagnostic. If the part is on the truck, the fix happens that visit. If we need to order it, we set a return time and keep you posted.
Do you service propane, electric, and diesel forklifts?
Yes, our techs work on propane, electric, and diesel units. Each fuel type has its own service points, from spark plugs and fuel systems to battery cells and charger checks. Tell us what is in your fleet and we will service all of it.
Do I need to bring my forklift to your shop?
No, all our work is mobile. Our tech drives to your Gastonia facility with the truck stocked for the job. You do not need to load a lift on a trailer or move a unit across town.
Can you set up a recurring maintenance plan for my Gastonia fleet?
Yes, we set up recurring maintenance plans for fleets across the Gastonia corridor. We schedule each visit based on how often the lifts actually run, then return on a regular cadence. Call to talk through what makes sense for your number of lifts and shift pattern.
