We know the North Charlotte warehouse district well. Our technicians regularly service facilities along Sugar Creek Road, Statesville Avenue, and University City Boulevard. This corridor moves a lot of freight, and the forklifts here work hard to keep up.
We provide forklift maintenance for electric and propane units at distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and warehouses throughout the I-85/I-77 corridor. We’ve built relationships with operations managers in this area who count on us to keep their equipment running.
Traffic on I-77 between Uptown and I-85 averages 183,000 vehicles per day. When your forklift goes down, you don’t have time to wait for a technician stuck in gridlock. We know the back routes and time our visits to get there faster. Call 704-716-3636 to schedule an appointment Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Ask about scheduling a service call for your Airport West or Steele Creek facility.

Legacy Warehouses Along Sugar Creek Road Need Specialized Equipment Care
We’ve worked in a lot of the older buildings along Sugar Creek Road. Many of these warehouses have tight aisles and narrow dock setups that newer facilities don’t deal with. Forklifts operating in these spaces take more wear on steering and brakes from constant maneuvering.
Our techs are used to working in cramped service bays and loading docks where there isn’t much room to spread out. We bring what we need and get the job done without disrupting your operation. If you run multiple shifts, we’ll schedule maintenance during your slower periods.
We also serve warehouses in Derita and Wilson Heights.
Loading Dock Safety Starts with Well-Maintained Forklifts
Loading docks are where most of the action happens, and they’re also where things can go wrong. We’ve seen what happens when worn brakes or a slow hydraulic response leads to a close call. Keeping up with maintenance helps you avoid those situations.
Every service visit, we check brakes, steering, hydraulics, and forks. A 10-minute pre-shift inspection by your operators can catch issues before they become problems. We recommend building this into your daily routine.
The NC Department of Labor offers example forklift inspection forms if you need a template to get started.
We work with manufacturing facilities near the I-85/Beatties Ford Road area that take dock safety seriously. Happy to do the same for you.
Service Technicians Respond Quickly Between Statesville Ave and University City Blvd
Breakdowns don’t wait for a good time. We’ve taken calls from warehouse managers on Statesville Avenue who needed a tech out fast because a forklift went down during receiving. Our location off I-77 gives us a straight shot into North Charlotte when you need us.
Most initial visits can be scheduled within a day or two. If the repair needs parts we don’t have on the truck, we’ll get them ordered and come back to finish the job. We cover the industrial properties around Distribution Center Drive and the Prologis Charlotte Distribution Center, which sits about 1.5 miles from the I-77/I-85 interchange.
When a forklift costs more to fix than it’s worth, check out our used forklift inventory. We buy old units too, so you can put that money toward a replacement.
We also respond to service calls in Concord and Kannapolis along the I-85 corridor.
Minimize Downtime During Peak Distribution Hours
Anyone who drives I-77 in North Charlotte knows the rush hour situation. Traffic backs up from 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning and again from 4:00 to 6:30 in the evening. We schedule service calls around these windows whenever possible so we’re not sitting in traffic while your forklift sits idle.
When you call, we’ll send a technician to assess the issue and figure out what’s needed. Most initial visits can be scheduled within a day or two during business hours. If the repair needs parts, we may need a follow-up visit. Mid-day appointments usually work best for everyone.
Operations near the I-485/I-85 interchange deal with the same congestion. We’ve learned to plan routes that avoid the worst of it.
If your forklift needs more work than it’s worth, take a look at our used forklift inventory. We also buy old forklifts when constant repairs stop making sense.
