Keeping Forklifts Reliable So They Don’t Slow You Down
Forklifts rarely fail without warning. Usually, there are small signs first: the lift feels shaky, the brakes don’t respond like they should, or the battery dies quicker than usual. Ignoring those signs only makes things worse, leading to longer downtime and much bigger repair bills.
We don’t believe in quick patch jobs. Instead, we take the time to figure out the real issue, fix it properly, and test everything before returning your equipment. That way, you’re not calling us back for the same problem a week later.
Some of the most common forklift problems we see in Waterloo include:
- Leaking hydraulics or weak lifting power
- Transmission slipping or making noise
- Brakes that squeal or lose stopping power
- Electrical problems and battery failures
- Bent forks or misaligned masts
- Worn tires or stiff steering
- Engine issues with propane, diesel, or gas models
- Full Bobcat truck servicing and repairs
No matter the brand or type, chances are we’ve fixed it before, and fixed it right.
We also take care of Bobcat truck repairs, which many businesses in Waterloo rely on every day.
How We Handle Repairs
When you call us, you’re getting more than just a quick fix. We follow a straightforward process that ensures nothing gets missed. First, we give your forklift a full inspection. Then, we explain what’s wrong in clear, simple terms and talk through your options. After that, we get the repair done quickly, safely, and properly.
Here’s a quick look at how we handle the most common forklift problems:
| Problem | What You’ll Notice | How We Fix It | How You Can Help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Issues | Jerky lifts, leaking fluid | Replace seals/hoses, refill fluids | Inspect hoses, use proper fluid |
| Engine Trouble | Hard starts, smoke, low power | Repair fuel/ignition systems | Keep oil & filters fresh |
| Brake Problems | Squeaky or weak brakes | Replace pads, adjust hydraulics | Regular brake checks |
| Electrical Faults | Flickering lights, dead battery | Test wiring, battery, alternator | Clean battery terminals |
| Fork/Mast Damage | Cracks, leaning mast | Realign mast, replace forks/chains | Lubricate chains, inspect forks |
| Transmission Wear | Slipping gears, rough shifting | Replace parts, flush fluids | Schedule transmission service |
| Tires & Steering | Uneven wear, hard steering | Replace tires, adjust hydraulics | Rotate tires, inspect steering parts |
Preventive Maintenance - Staying Ahead of Downtime
Breakdowns can’t always be avoided, but regular maintenance goes a long way toward reducing them. Routine servicing keeps your forklifts safer, extends their lifespan, and prevents those stressful emergency repairs.
Even better, you control when it happens. Instead of dealing with breakdowns on your busiest days, you schedule service when it works best for you. Many Waterloo businesses rely on this proactive approach, and it gives managers real peace of mind. We’ll create a custom maintenance plan whether you’ve got a couple of forklifts or a large fleet across multiple sites.
| Service | Why It Matters | When to Do It |
|---|---|---|
| Oil & Filter Changes | Keeps engines strong | Every 250 operating hours |
| Hydraulic Check | Prevents leaks and lift problems | Every 500 operating hours |
| Brake Inspections | Ensures safe stopping | Every 250 operating hours |
| Battery Testing | Avoids unexpected power loss | Weekly to monthly |
| Tire & Steering Check | Maintains stability and safety | As needed |
| Transmission Service | Extends transmission life | Every 1,000 operating hours |
| Cooling System Flush | Prevents overheating and damage | Annually |
Just a little time spent on maintenance now can save you days of downtime later. At Forklift Toronto, we design forklift maintenance schedules around your fleet, whether you operate two machines or dozens spread across multiple Waterloo facilities.
