Electric, Propane and Diesel Forklift Repair
Different forklifts fail for different reasons. Our technicians work with a wide range of forklift types, power systems, brands, and applications.
Electric Forklift Repair
Electric forklifts can experience problems involving batteries, chargers, drive motors, control systems, wiring, switches, contactors, and hydraulic components.
If your electric forklift is losing power, failing to charge, displaying a fault code, or shutting down unexpectedly, our team can troubleshoot the system and identify the source of the problem.
Propane Forklift Repair
Propane forklifts are used throughout Lima-area manufacturing plants, warehouses, and loading areas because of their versatility. When they stop running correctly, the issue may involve the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, engine, transmission, or hydraulic components.
Our technicians can inspect the forklift, determine what is causing the failure, and recommend the appropriate repair.
Diesel Forklift Repair
Diesel forklifts often work in demanding outdoor and heavy-duty applications. Problems involving overheating, hard starting, loss of power, fuel delivery, transmissions, or hydraulics can quickly make the equipment unusable.
Midwest Industrial Equipment provides diagnostic and repair support for diesel forklifts used in industrial yards, construction environments, lumber operations, manufacturing facilities, and other demanding applications.
Warehouse and Material Handling Equipment
Forklifts are not the only equipment your operation depends on. We can also assist with service needs involving pallet jacks, warehouse lift trucks, and other material handling equipment.
