Engine/Transmission

When it comes to forklifts and other heavy equipment, the engine and transmission are the heart of the vehicle. Without either running at peak performance, your forklift won’t run at its best and crucial productivity will end up impacted. It’s just as crucial to our team at A-Z Truck & Trailer Repair as it is to our customers that their forklift’s engine and transmission are running at optimal levels. Our dealer-level technicians can diagnose any engine and transmission issues on any make or model. If you start seeing problems with your forklift such as low fuel economy, gear-shifting issues, engine power loss or knocking, increased oil consumption, or overall poor performance give A-Z Truck & Trailer Repair a call.

Brakes

With the loads forklifts and other heavy equipment is built to handle and the environments they’re typically operating in, safety features such as brakes are essential to maintaining a safe working environment. We only use the highest quality components on your brakes to make sure they’re running at optimal performance.

Hydraulic/Cylinder Leaks

A forklift or heavy equipment’s hydraulic systems are essential in doing the job they’re designed to do. However, any faults with these systems can be both a safety concern and a loss in productivity. At A-Z Truck & Trailer Repair, we can help with whatever hydraulic or cylinder leaks your forklift may be facing. Even if a leak is contained in one area, over time these leaks can impact the system overall and turn critical. Our technicians aim to prevent any accidents from these leaks and strive to prevent any further problems from these components when needed most.

Electrical

When it comes to forklifts and other heavy equipment, the vehicle’s electrical systems are important in ensuring it runs smoothly and efficiently with minimal productivity downtime. Performing consistent and preventive maintenance on the various electrical components of your forklift such as the starter, batteries, control box, and switches can ensure the vehicle operates at peak efficiency. If you find yourself having trouble with your forklift not starting or other electrical issues, we advise you to first check your cables to make sure proper connections are being made with the appropriate components. For anything else, give A-Z Truck & Trailer Repair a call and we’ll send a technician out to you.
