One thing we hear from time-to-time, "do I really need a 1,000 hour service on my forklift?" While that is an understandable question. The equipment may not appear to have anything wrong with it and taking the unit offline might seem counterproductive and costly.

There are many reasons the manufacturer's will recommend preventive maintenance, one of the most important is OSHA's requirements. Some other points are to ensure the lift is operating in safe conditions and to increase the up-time of your lift. Preventive maintenance can also extend the life of your forklift

OSHA Maintenance Requirement

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) requires a preventative maintenance program that ensures equipment is safe for employees. The OSHA standard states that all material handling equipment should be regularly inspected and maintained.
