Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my forklift has a wiring fault rather than a component fault?
Intermittent faults — things that work sometimes and not others — are often wiring-related. A dashboard warning light that comes and goes, controls that cut out under vibration or a battery that drains faster than usual are all classic wiring symptoms. Our technicians use circuit testers and oscilloscopes to identify wiring faults quickly.
Can you replace an overhead guard on any brand of forklift?
Yes. We fabricate and source replacement overhead guards for all major brands including Toyota, Linde, Hyster, Yale, Crown and Komatsu. All replacements are fitted to OHS specification and comply with SANS 10396 requirements for operator protection.
