Why planned maintenance pays

Maintenance costs less than repair

It is no secret. Regular planned maintenance is the key to extending the life of your equipment and to preventing both costly repairs and the unnecessary, productivity sapping downtime that comes with them.

Longer equipment life

Fluids, filters, brakes and wear points attended to on a schedule, so a machine reaches the end of its service life instead of stopping short of it.

Fewer costly repairs

A program that targets specific problem areas and remedies mechanical issues before they turn into an expensive repair bill.

Less lost production

Downtime is the cost that never shows up on an invoice. Planned visits keep your equipment in the game and your people working.

Talk to a technician

Keep your equipment in the game

Tell us what you run and we will build a maintenance schedule around it.

Custom tailored to your operation

Choose your service interval

We offer a variety of maintenance schedules, custom tailored to your company's specific needs. Whether you need monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or biannual service, we are here to keep you and your equipment in the game.

1Month cycle

Monthly

For high cycle fleets and multi shift operations where a machine rarely gets to stand still.

2Month cycle

Bimonthly

For steady single shift warehouse work with consistent hours on the same equipment.

3Month cycle

Quarterly

For moderate use fleets where equipment runs part of each day rather than all of it.

6Month cycle

Biannual

For light duty machines and standby units that see occasional or seasonal use.

The numeral is the number of months between visits. If none of the four intervals fits the way you work, we will build one that does.

Strict guidelines, every visit

What our technicians check

Our technicians adhere to strict guidelines when performing planned maintenance. Every visit follows the checklist for that class of equipment, and nothing is signed off until all of it is done.

Answers before you call

Common questions

How often should my equipment be serviced?

It depends on how hard the equipment works. We offer a variety of maintenance schedules, custom tailored to your company's specific needs, whether that is monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or biannual service. Tell us the hours your fleet runs and we will recommend an interval.

What is the difference between planned maintenance and a repair call?

Planned maintenance targets specific problem areas and remedies mechanical issues before they cause costly downtime and expensive repair bills. A repair call happens after something has already stopped. The whole point of a program is to need fewer of the second kind.

Do you service equipment you did not sell us?

Yes. We maintain all makes and models, whatever is on your floor and whoever built it. Forklift service is our core specialty, and we have since mastered dock and door preventive maintenance and repairs as well as industrial battery and charger repair.

Can you cover doors and docks on the same visit?

That is the point of a one stop solution. A single planned visit can take in your lift trucks, your commercial and overhead dock doors, your loading docks and your batteries and chargers, on one schedule and one invoice.

What happens if you find a problem during a visit?

We do not just throw parts at problems. Our technicians are trained to target, diagnose and resolve, so you get told what the equipment actually needs and what it will cost before the work goes ahead. You will never find hidden fees or surcharges on your invoice.

Where do you travel for planned maintenance?

We serve all of Colorado, Southern Wyoming and Northern New Mexico, from our facility at 5850 Dahlia Street in Commerce City.
