Worn chains and forks aren't just a repair bill — they're a safety failure waiting to drop a load. We measure both to spec.
Forklift wear is measurable and regulated. Load chains stretch, fork blades thin at the heel, and a tired hydraulic system won't hold a load. We measure chain elongation and fork wear against manufacturer limits, test the mast and hydraulics, and check the power source — battery pack or LPG — so you know the lift is safe and serviceable.
Tell us about the forklifts, reach trucks, pallet jacks & container handlers and where it is. We'll confirm scheduling.
Exactly what we look at on these specific machines — the known problem areas and how we check them.
Toyota's benchmark lift truck — reliable, but mast, chains, and forks still wear to limits, and the SAS stability system must be working.
HysterA common IC counterbalance forklift. Mast chains and forks are safety items; the transmission and engine carry the cost.
YaleA workhorse IC counterbalance lift. Same priorities as any sit-down forklift: chains and forks, hydraulics, transmission, and engine.
CrownAn electric counterbalance lift where the battery pack and drive system are the whole cost. A tired pack quietly halves the value.
CrownA narrow-aisle reach truck where the battery pack, reach mechanism, and load wheels carry the cost. Built for high-cycle warehouse life.
RaymondThe narrow-aisle benchmark. Battery, reach mechanism, and load wheels are the inspection — built for relentless distribution-center duty.
CaterpillarA common IC counterbalance lift in the 5,000-lb class. Chains and forks, hydraulics, transmission, and engine are the inspection.
KalmarHeavy port/yard iron where the spreader, twistlocks, and massive tires are the cost. A failure here is expensive and dangerous.
CrownA high-cycle electric pallet jack where battery and drive condition are everything. Cheap to overlook, costly to replace a worn pack.
