Forklift Maintenance with Powerlift.
Stress-Free Full-Service Contracts
We’re pleased to offer special Full-Service contracts with particularly favourable terms, covering all the essential repair work needed to keep your equipment running smoothly.
When you choose a Powerlift Full-Service contract, we take on the responsibility for repairs and guarantee the ongoing availability of your fleet. You simply pay a fixed monthly fee, covering routine servicing, breakdowns, replacement parts and maintenance (subject to fair wear and tear). This not only gives you predictable costs for better budget planning but also peace of mind, knowing that all repairs and servicing will be carried out using genuine spare parts.
One of the added benefits of a full maintenance contract is that we take care of the manufacturer’s service intervals, ensuring your equipment stays on track without you needing to manage it. This means you can focus on what matters, your daily operations, while we handle the rest.
Plus, all expenses under the contract are fully tax-deductible as operational costs.
Please note that an equipment inspection is required, and any necessary remedial work must be completed before the agreement can begin.
Forklift Repair with Powerlift.
Wear Repairs – Fixing Normal Wear and Tear
Materials Handling Equipment is built for heavy use, naturally leading to wear and tear on parts like forks, tyres, chains and batteries. While these parts don’t usually need replacing regularly, the need for service can arise unexpectedly depending on how much the machine is used. For example, following the operator’s daily visual and functional checks, it may become apparent that certain parts need attention.
Powerlift ensure that essential parts are available and delivered quickly so your equipment stays compliant with health and safety standards and is ready for use as soon as possible.

Powerlift is here to support you through these challenging moments. We can provide fast, non-binding quotations for repair costs and our team is on hand to help you find the best financial solution for getting your MHE back in top condition.
