Forklift maintenance is a crucial component in your DC or warehouse operational strategy. For both pre-planned service and ad hoc repairs, it’s essential to have reliable, competent technicians ready to dispatch whenever they are needed.

Selecting the right business partner for your service requirements can be a decisive factor in staying on schedule and keeping your operation running at maximum efficiency. If you’re looking for a maintenance partner, there are a number of factors you should assess:

• Ability and geographic coverage: many smaller maintenance and repair companies have a small number of service techs and have only one location. This can be problematic when setting up unplanned maintenance since fewer technicians means less scheduling flexibility. Moreover, in situations where you have multiple locations throughout a region or state, you may have longer dispatch intervals or even need to contract multiple maintenance partners. Raymond West maintains locations throughout nine Western states. We feature a team of more than 400 specialists, and our standard dispatch to arrival time is just over 120 minutes.
• Unified maintenance: warehouses and DCs have a lot more equipment to maintain than just forklifts. Overhead doors, dock levelers, automated storage systems, conveyors and many other systems need work from time to time. Having a single organization that is capable of maintaining all of your systems is not just convenient, it can reduce your costs substantially when you add all of your equipment to a planned maintenance routine.
• Skilled technicians: across the industry, there are many levels of training and experience when it comes to technicians . When you want to get a forklift repair done quickly and done right the first time, particularly if you run multiple types of trucks, it’s important to have capable technicians. Raymond West has one of the most skilled technical teams in the material handling industry that can maintain not only Raymond, but almost any manufacturer or material handling equipment type available. Raymond’s training programs are among the best in the industry, and we train forklift mechanics from all over the West at our facility in Southern California.
• Lift Truck Parts: with over 4,000 parts in inventory and availability of more than 100,000 more, we feature one of the best-stocked parts operations in the Western U.S. No matter what brand of part you’re looking for, we can supply the components you need when you need them most. In addition, our parts consignment option can ensure that your mechanics have parts instantly available when required.
• Efficiency and speed: Our technicians arrive on site prepared. Our thoroughly outfitted service trucks carry all the common parts and tools needed for most jobs so that we don’t need additional site visits or parts runs. Between our swift dispatch times and our ability to resolve issues quickly, we can oftentimes reduce your downtime by a day or longer in contrast to other lift truck repair services.
• System integration: using a tool like Raymond’s iTrack, your team members can ask for urgent repair from any supplier via our web portal. They can also review maintenance schedules and logs, service costs and history, equipment up time and programmed maintenance. In addition, we can give you a single invoice for enterprise-wide maintenance so that you can easily monitor and control expenses.
