Common Forklift Issues We Fix in Gwillimbury
Forklifts don’t usually fail out of the blue. Most problems start small, maybe it’s a strange noise, a lift that doesn’t feel as strong, or a battery that just can’t make it through a full shift. These early signs might seem minor, but catching them early can save you a lot of time, money, and unnecessary stress down the road.
At Forklift Toronto, we don’t believe in quick band-aid solutions. Our technicians take the time to find the real issue, fix it the right way, and fully test everything before your forklift goes back to work. So instead of dealing with the same problem over and over, you can get back to focusing on the job with confidence that your equipment’s ready to handle it.
Here are some of the problems we handle every day in Gwillimbury:
- Hydraulic leaks or weak lifting power
- Transmission slipping, grinding, or rough shifting
- Brakes that squeal, feel soft, or don’t stop safely
- Electrical faults and battery problems
- Forks or masts that are bent, cracked, or misaligned
- Tires that wear unevenly or steering that feels stiff
- Engine troubles with propane, diesel, or gas forklifts
- Complete Bobcat truck repairs and servicing
We also take care of Bobcat truck repairs, which many businesses in Gwillimbury rely on every day.

Preventive Maintenance – Stop Breakdowns Before They Happen
The smartest way to avoid forklift breakdowns is simple: regular maintenance. A lot of big, expensive repairs can be prevented just by staying on top of routine service. It makes forklifts safer, more reliable, and less expensive to run over the long haul.
We’ll help you set up a maintenance schedule that works for your operation. Whether you run one machine or manage an entire fleet, planned service means fewer surprises and more peace of mind.
