Scheduled Maintenance keeps your lifts running smoothly.

Our skilled technicians follow a thorough maintenance checklist that includes:

A Visual Inspection

DAMAGE: Check for bent, dented or broken parts.

FLUIDS/LEAKS: Inspect drive unit, brakes and hydraulics.

TIRES & WHEELS: Check drive wheels, steer wheels, load wheels, and casters.

FORKS: Check they are secure, not bent, cracked or badly worn.

CHAINS, CABLES & HOSES: Check they are in place and secure.

BATTERY: Inspect the cable and connector condition. 

GUARDS: Make sure they are in place and in good condition. 

Check overhead, load backrest, plus gates and side rails (SP & Turret Models).

MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICES: Make sure the safety shield, 

entry bar, operator harness, warning labels, etc. are in good condition.

OPERATOR COMPARTMENT/CONTROLS: Make sure all controls, steer tiller,

pedals, etc. are in good condition. Seat locks in position. Pallet grab/release.


An Operational Inspection

POWER UP: Check the turn on key. All indicator lights and alarms are working.

POWER DISCONNECT: Verify it cuts off all electric power.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES: Check the horn, audible signals, 

entry bar, flashing lights, indicator lights, etc. are working properly.

STEERING: Ensure no binding, no excessive play.

BRAKES & TRAVEL CONTROLS: Check braking & plugging distances while traveling slowly at first. If ok, then check at higher speeds. Acceleration smooth, not jerky.

PARKING BRAKE: Check seat, hand or foot.

HYDRAULIC CONTROLS: Test all hydraulic functions for smooth

and proper operation and no unusual noise.

ATTACHMENTS: Check they function properly, no unusual noise, 

securely in place, especially removable attachments.

LIMIT SWITCHES: Check travel limit, lift limit, tilt limit, safety reverse (walkies), etc.

WIRE GUIDANCE (SP and Turret Option): Check acquisition, tracking.

Brakes set, alarm works - test by slowly driving off end aisle wire.

END AISLE CONTROL (SP and Turret Option): Check alarm beeps and truck slows down or stops as programmed at aisle end.

LIMIT SWITCHES: Check travel and lift limits.


Exclusive to Electric Lifts

BATTERY: Check the battery cable and connector condition.

Cable routing (not outside of truck). Battery retainer securely in place.

BATTERY CHARGE: Check the discharge meter is full green or 75% charge after raising forks.

Scheduled maintenance has many long term benefits:

Your forklift will live longer: Regular service extends your forklift's life and productivity. In other words, more efficient and reliable, reducing the chance of a breakdown.


Higher resale value: If you ever trade in your lift or sell it on the secondary market, you'll get a higher price, recouping your initial investment.


Repair Savings: Keeping up on small items like weeping fittings, low fluid levels, and debris-filled components will prevent a more expensive repair later.


Safety Conscious: Maintained equipment keeps your team safe and on the job. It's just a good company policy.


Avoid a bill later (leased lift): If you lease your lift, regular maintenance may avoid a hefty bill once the equipment is turned in and inspected.
