New England summers are short. One day you’re in a T-shirt, the next you’re scraping frost off the windshield. Around here, fall is the season to service your machines, before the real cold hits.
Fall Service Beats Snowbank Service
Nobody enjoys fixing forklifts in January… not you, not us. That’s why now’s the time.
- Fluids & filters: oil, hydraulic, differential.
- Fuel filters & water separators: keep water out before it freezes.
- Hydraulic filters: change ’em now, thank yourself later.
Diesel Doesn’t Like the Cold
Diesel fuel gels in the cold. You don’t want that.
- Replace fuel filters & separators now.
- Ask your supplier if they’re treating your diesel.
Keep an Eye on Hours
Most forklifts need service every 150–250 hours. Ran hard this summer? Fall is catch-up time.
Electric Lifts Need Love Too
Don’t skip the basics:
- Keep batteries charged & check water levels.
- Don’t forget hydraulic fluid …even on electric.
