Birmingham - Forklift Repair

Forklift service is a crucial component in your warehouse operational strategy. For both planned service and unplanned service calls, it’s important to have dependable, competent technicians at your disposal at the moment they are needed.

Selecting the right business partner for your service needs can make all the difference in maintaining your schedule and enabling your organization to run at maximum productivity. Here are a few things you should consider when choosing a forklift maintenance company:

• Coverage and capability: Most smaller service companies employ only a few technical specialists and have only one location. This single-threaded approach is an issue when setting up unplanned maintenance since small organizations have fewer techs and less flexibility in their schedules. Furthermore, in situations where you have a number of locations across a state or service area, you may have longer dispatch times or perhaps require multiple service companies. Carolina Handling has maintenance operations spanning the Southeast. We have a team of over 400 equipment specialists, and our average dispatch-to-arrival time is among the industry’s best.
• Single source service: Storage facilities typically have many maintenance requirements beyond lift trucks. Dock levelers, dock doors, automated storage systems, conveyors and many other systems require regular service. Having one partner that is capable of maintaining all of your systems is not just convenient, it can reduce your costs substantially when you implement a planned maintenance routine.
• Quality technicians: Across the industry, there are many levels of training and experience when it comes to technicians. Skilled technicians are worth their weight in gold if you want a job done quickly and done correctly the first time, especially if you have forklifts from different manufacturers. Carolina Handling has one of the most skilled technical teams in the material handling industry that can service all brands of material handling equipment. Our technical training programs are the best in the business, and we put technicians from many different companies through rigorous technical training at our primary training facility.
• Forklift Parts: Offering over 4,000 parts in stock and availability of more than 100,000 more, we feature one of the largest parts operations in the region. No matter what brand of part you’re looking for, we can deliver the part numbers you need whenever you need them most. For larger organizations, our consignment parts program can make sure that your mechanics have parts at their fingertips anytime they’re required.
• Speed and efficiency: Our technicians arrive on-site prepared. Our thoroughly outfitted service trucks carry all the common parts and tools required for most jobs so that we don’t need repeat visits or parts runs. Between our short dispatch intervals and our rapid troubleshooting abilities, we can oftentimes reduce your downtime by a day or longer in contrast to other lift truck repair providers.
• System integration: Using Raymond’s iTrack, your team can request immediate service from any vendor through our web interface. You can also track maintenance logs and schedules, service costs and history, equipment uptime and programmed maintenance. In addition, we can give you one monthly bill for enterprise-wide maintenance so that you can easily review and manage costs.
