STOP FIGHTING FIRES. START PROTECTING YOUR UPTIME.

If you’re reacting to unexpected forklift failures, chasing down service vendors, or holding your breath during each inspection, you’re not alone. When warehouse and operations managers get stuck in a cycle of reactive maintenance, it costs them time, money, and trust with leadership. Planned Maintenance (PM) is how you break that cycle. With Equipment Depot, you get access to a proactive PM program led by expert technicians that catches problems before they shut you down. All of which helps you stay focused on your operation instead of on equipment issues.

EXPERT PLANNED MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS FOR FORKLIFTS

Whether you have one forklift in your building or an entire fleet of lift trucks, you can ensure that your equipment operates at peak performance by enrolling in a planned maintenance (PM) program with Equipment Depot. Instead of waiting for something to break, we help you stay ahead of wear and tear by inspecting, servicing, and replacing parts at the right time, before you experience unexpected downtime.

BENEFITS OF PLANNED MAINTENANCE

Our maintenance programs are built around a consistent schedule of visits based on OEM recommendations, equipment usage, our technicians’ expert knowledge, and real-world service data. Every PM visit includes detailed inspections, adjustments, and a recommended list of any repairs or component replacements to keep your fleet compliant, safe, and ready to perform.

REDUCE DOWNTIME

Catch issues before they turn into breakdowns. Planned maintenance helps limit unexpected forklift failures that interrupt your operation and slow down throughput.

PROTECT FACTORY WARRANTIES

When you invest in new equipment, most OEMs require routine service on a set schedule to keep any warranties valid. Miss a service or fail to document it properly and you risk voiding coverage when you need it the most. With our PM program, we follow OEM guidelines to the letter and document each visit, ensuring you’re always in compliance and protected from costly claim denials.

LOWER REPAIR COSTS

Routine service extends equipment life and reduces the risk of expensive emergency repairs or rush orders on replacement parts.

IMPROVE SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Avoid OSHA violations and unsafe conditions with regular inspections. Our techs check everything – brakes, hydraulics, steering, lights – to help you create a safe work environment and protect your employees.

MAXIMIZE LIFESPAN

Well-maintained equipment stays in your fleet longer, works better, and delivers more ROI across its lifecycle.

BUDGET PREDICTABILITY

With less surprises, your equipment maintenance becomes a more controlled operating expense. Not an unpredictable emergency.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A
PLANNED MAINTENANCE VISIT?

Every PM visit is structured, logged, and executed by your assigned technician, so nothing gets missed and you know exactly what was done. Here’s what we include in a typical visit:

MULTI-POINT SAFETY INSPECTION

  • Safety Features: We inspect every safety feature on your forklift, from horns, lights and decals, to reverse alarms and seat restraints, ensuring that your team stays safe.
  • Forks & Load Backrest: To ensure all of your loads remain stable and safe, we measure your forks for dangerous wear and tear and check that your load backrest is secure.
  • Chains: Our technicians thoroughly measure and inspect your chains to identify wear. Often overlooked, chains need to be in good working order to prevent loads from dropping mid-lift.
  • Counterweight Security: We manually confirm that your counterweight is tightly bolted to the frame, which prevents it from shifting and becoming a serious safety hazard.
  • Tires & Wheels: We check your tire condition and pressure, and torque all lug nuts to prevent potential wheel failures.
  • Fluid Leaks: We scan your entire unit for any oil or hydraulic fluid leaks, which can lead to slip-and-fall accidents or equipment damage.

Nine years ago, we purchased our forklift fleet from Equipment Depot. Since then, we have had them regularly maintained and repaired. Recently, a major part broke in one of our oldest forklifts, and thanks to John’s efforts, a plan was put in place and our forklift was swiftly fixed. This experience underscores the value that Equipment Depot and John place on our enduring partnership.
