Workshop Service or On-Site Service?

Both. Planned servicing, tyre pressing and bigger repairs are often quickest in our Edenvale workshop, where the tools and parts are on hand. When moving the forklift isn't practical, or when you've got several machines to get through, our technicians come to you. Tell us what's wrong and where the forklift is, and we'll recommend whichever gets you running sooner.

Forklift Services: Frequently Asked Questions


What is included in a forklift service?

Our comprehensive forklift service includes a meticulous multi-point safety inspection, oil and fluid diagnostics, filter replacements, complete mast and chain lubrication, brake system calibration, and electrical system diagnostics to ensure optimal uptime and complete safety compliance.
