The Importance of Regular Forklift Service & the Ideal Schedule

Forklifts are vital assets in many industries, and their optimal performance is crucial for maintaining efficiency and safety. To ensure these heavy machines run smoothly, regular maintenance by your dealer’s service department is essential. Reliable service not only extends the lifespan of your forklifts but also safeguards workers and reduces unexpected downtime. When done right, routine check-ups can detect potential issues early, saving businesses time and money in the long run.

Recommended Service Schedule

Sticking to a recommended forklift service schedule is crucial for proactive maintenance. It’s generally advised to schedule a comprehensive service every 200 hours of operation or on a personalized frequency that is based on application of the machine—whichever comes first. For example, for forklifts used under harsher conditions or in multi-shift operations, more frequent inspections may be necessary. Regular services should include battery checks, oil changes, tire assessments, and brake evaluations. In order to touch on all aspects of the forklift, our trained technicians use a 95-point inspection guideline to ensure essential areas of the forklift are inspected. These routine procedures help catch minor issues before they escalate into major ones.
