Frequently Asked Questions

How often should forklifts be serviced?

Service frequency depends on usage. Light-duty, single-shift operations typically need monthly or quarterly service. Heavy-use, multi-shift operations require more frequent maintenance. We’ll help determine the right schedule for your equipment.

What’s the difference between preventive maintenance and repairs?

Preventive maintenance includes scheduled inspections, fluid changes, adjustments, and replacing wear items before they fail. Repairs fix components that have already broken. Regular maintenance helps prevent many repairs.

How quickly can you respond to breakdowns?

We prioritize all breakdown calls and aim for same-day response throughout Charlotte, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Matthews, Gastonia, and Monroe. Most service calls require an initial visit to properly diagnose the issue and identify needed parts. Once we’ve assessed your equipment, we’ll order any necessary parts and schedule the repair completion as quickly as possible. Contract customers receive priority scheduling for both diagnosis and repairs. Having common parts in stock allows us to complete many repairs on the first visit, but more complex issues may require ordering specific components.

Can you maintain different brands in our fleet?

Yes, our technicians are trained on all major forklift brands. We can maintain your entire fleet regardless of manufacturer mix.

What about parts for older equipment?

We work with multiple suppliers to source parts for older equipment. While some obsolete parts can be challenging, we’ll explore all options to keep your equipment running.

What’s included in a maintenance plan?
Coverage varies by plan level. Basic plans include inspections and basic maintenance. More comprehensive plans add fluids, filters, and even parts coverage. We’ll explain each option clearly.
