Forklifts should be serviced regularly, typically every 250-500 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Routine servicing ensures your forklift remains in good working order, reducing the risk of breakdowns and extending its lifespan.
A forklift service typically includes checking and changing fluids, inspecting the battery, brakes, tyres, and mast, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring all safety features are working. It may also involve parts replacement depending on wear and tear.
Common signs that your forklift may need repairs include unusual noises, poor performance, warning lights, or difficulty steering. If you notice any of these issues, it’s essential to schedule a service to prevent further damage and avoid costly repairs.
