How Planned Maintenance Saves You Money

To avoid expensive and unexpected repairs, you’ll want to plan maintenance. It will cost you more to service your forklift than to preserve the equipment properly. We want you to take the appropriate steps in caring for your forklifts. Hopefully, these three simple tips can help you schedule your maintenance successfully beforehand to prevent spending more than you need to.

Investment
You will want to protect your investment, which is your forklift. The first step is to make sure that you check your forklift periodically, no matter what type of forklift you own. Regular maintenance checks can increase the lifespan of your forklift. These are expensive pieces of machinery, proper care is crucial.

Never Pay Twice
You should never pay twice for service. Many owners of forklifts who don’t sign up for planned maintenance get charged anyway. Messing up payment is an easy error to avoid, by asking the service you take your forklift to if they could call you ahead of your appointment to double check if you will be using the service.

Planning
When you plan an appointment for maintenance, you won’t have to worry about any breakdowns or remembering to arrange to get service done. This keeps your forklift running and ensures the safety of both the operator and the forklift. Keep reminders on hand of when to create maintenance appointments.

With planned maintenance, this will minimize downtime, enhance productivity, expand the forklift’s lifespan and reduce costs. If you have any questions or want to know more about owning a forklift, contact us via our website or by calling us at 843-875-8000. We hope to hear from you soon!
