Forklift Shop Repair & Equipment Service in Phoenix, Arizona

Some equipment repairs need more than a service truck and a quick fix.

Our shop gives technicians the space, tools, and support needed to properly diagnose problems, disassemble major components, complete extensive repairs, and thoroughly test equipment before it returns to service.

Forklift Engine Repair and Rebuilding

Engine problems can affect power, reliability, fuel efficiency, and consistent operation.

Our technicians can diagnose and repair problems in gas-, diesel-, and LP-powered equipment.

Depending on the engine’s condition, service may include component repair, engine rebuilding, or complete engine replacement.

Before major work begins, our team evaluates the equipment and determines the most practical repair approach.

Transmission and Drivetrain Repair

Transmission and drivetrain problems can make a forklift difficult or unsafe to operate.

Symptoms may include:

  • Difficulty moving forward or in reverse
  • Slipping or delayed engagement
  • Unusual noises
  • Loss of power
  • Leaking fluid
  • Erratic movement

Our shop can diagnose drivetrain issues and perform transmission repairs or rebuilds when needed.

Hydraulic System Repair

Hydraulic systems handle much of the lifting and movement forklifts and aerial equipment perform.

A hydraulic problem may cause:

  • Slow lifting
  • Jerky movement
  • Difficulty holding a load
  • Hydraulic fluid leaks
  • Weak lifting performance
  • Unusual hydraulic noises

Gunnar Forklift Sales repairs hydraulic pumps, cylinders, valves, hoses, and related hydraulic components.

Because hydraulic problems can involve multiple components, shop diagnostics can help identify the actual source of the issue rather than simply replacing the most obvious failed part.

Electrical Diagnostics and Repair

Modern forklifts and equipment rely heavily on electrical systems, sensors, controls, and electronic components.

Electrical problems can sometimes be difficult to diagnose because the visible symptom may not point directly to the failed component.

Our shop provides electrical troubleshooting and repair for issues involving:

  • Starting systems
  • Charging systems
  • Batteries
  • Wiring
  • Controls
  • Sensors
  • Safety systems
  • Electrical connections
  • Other electronic components

Accurate diagnostics help reduce unnecessary parts replacement and repeat repairs.

When Does a Forklift Need Shop Service?

Not every equipment problem requires bringing the machine into our facility.

Many smaller repairs can be completed through our mobile Field Service team.

Shop service is generally better suited for repairs involving:

  • Major engine problems
  • Transmission failures
  • Significant hydraulic repairs
  • Extensive electrical troubleshooting
  • Large component replacement
  • Major disassembly
  • Equipment rebuilds
  • Multiple related repair issues

If you are not sure whether your equipment needs field service or shop repair, contact Gunnar Forklift Sales. We can help determine the best service option based on the machine and symptoms.
