Forklift Repairs in Port Shepstone

Local to Port Shepstone

When a machine stops in Marburg, the clock is running

Port Shepstone is the industrial heart of the South Coast, and the Marburg industrial area is where most of the region's forklifts actually earn their living — in factories, distribution yards, hardware and building merchants, and the timber and produce trades.

A forklift that won't start on a Tuesday morning with a delivery truck waiting isn't an inconvenience, it's stopped work and paid staff standing around. Because we're based on this patch, our mobile technicians reach Port Shepstone and Marburg quickly, arrive with the common spares on the van, and get most breakdowns diagnosed and moving on site — engine won't turn, hydraulics won't lift, brakes, steering, mast and chain faults, electrical gremlins on the newer machines.

What can't be finished at your gate comes into the workshop: transmission and engine overhauls, hydraulic pumps and rams, mast strip-downs, welding and frame repair, right through to a full rebuild and respray. We work on all makes — Toyota, TCM, Hyster, Yale, Linde, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Heli and the rest — and fit quality spares and tyres rather than whatever's nearest.

The cheaper habit is the boring one: a proper service plan. Manufacturers build their intervals around the hour-meter, not the calendar — most diesel and LPG forklifts want a service roughly every 250 operating hours or every three months, whichever comes first, and electric units at longer intervals. Sticking to that is what stops a small fault becoming an expensive one. We track the hour-meter reading on every machine we look after, so a service is due when the hours say so — not when something breaks.
