Planned Maintenance
Your first line of defense against downtime starts with the right team
One of the simplest ways to lower total equipment costs and improve efficiency is by staying on top of planned maintenance. Skip it, and small issues inevitably turn into costly downtime.
We understand that when your equipment is down, productivity stops. Planned maintenance keeps your fleet reliable, safe and ready to perform every day.
We make it easy to stay on track. Your service will be scheduled within 10 business days of the due date. If not, we waive the standard labor charge.
If it's been over 150 hours since you've had preventative maintenance, it's time to schedule an appointment.
PLANNED MAINTENANCE CAN REDUCE EQUIPMENT REPAIR COSTS BY 25%
A HIGHER STANDARD FOR PLANNED MAINTENANCE
Not all maintenance programs are built the same. Some providers keep costs low by doing the minimum. That may look good upfront, but it does not keep equipment running.
Our approach is different. Every service visit follows a detailed, standardized checklist designed to catch issues early and keep equipment safe, reliable and productive.
Reliability you can measure
Our technicians do more than a quick walk-around. They inspect critical systems, test safety features and operate the equipment to confirm performance. That includes the small details many overlook. We check horns, we test lights and we even drive the equipment. If something is off, we find it.
Consistency like this drives real results. It reduces unplanned downtime, extends equipment life and keeps operations running as they should. That kind of quality shows up where it matters most - your bottom line.
Keep Equipment Ready When It Matters
Regularly scheduled maintenance is the best way to keep your equipment functioning properly and reduce the likelihood of breakdowns. Downtime is the single most expensive cost associated with a forklift.
There are many benefits to being proactive, like: improving your productivity and increasing up-time, ensuring equipment is running properly and reducing spikes in repair costs. They key is addressing minor repairs before they turn into major ones.
Regardless of your budget, there are service plans that fit your needs.
