FAQs

What Areas Do You Serve For Forklift Repair?

We proudly serve Portsmouth, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Hampton, VA. Our goal is to provide top-notch brake repair and maintenance services within a 100-mile radius of our shop.

What Are Common Signs a Forklift Needs Service?

Watch for hydraulic leaks, sluggish lifting, steering issues, or warning lights. Forks that don’t level, engines that stall, or brakes that feel weak are all signs your forklift needs immediate service.

How Often Should a Forklift Be Serviced?

Most forklifts should be inspected every 200 hours and fully serviced every 500 hours. For high-use environments, more frequent preventive maintenance is key to avoiding breakdowns.

"This is my second year going to them for my state inspection. My car is older so always a little nervous during inspection time but the staff is always super friendly & helpful both over the phone & in person. So far I have been very pleased with their service; of course cause my car has passed both years 😁. I plan on continuing to go to them for all my future inspections."
