Why Purchasing Forklift Maintenance Kits Can Benefit You

When buying lift truck parts to care for your equipment fleet, it can be beneficial to you to check out if the manufacturer offers parts maintenance kits for preventative maintenance cycles.

If you are going deep into an inspection or simply changing the oil, there may be a kit that you can purchase for that specific repair from the lift truck dealership, which includes all of the parts the factory recommends to do the proper maintenance or repair.

When changing engine oil at the proper interval, you would need to most likely purchase an oil filter, air filter, and the engine oil all separately. If the manufacturer offers a parts “kit” it will include all of those items and you only have to purchase one (1) item.

If you go deeper into an interval that requires many spare parts and lubricants, it is easy to forget a few items by purchasing them all individually. That forces you to make extra trips to your dealership parts department or miss what could potentially be a more expensive repair later by ignoring the items you may have forgotten about.

Don’t get caught marking individual items and trying to remember what you all need when ordering parts for your maintenance programs.
