Forklift Servicing & Maintenance Perth
Keep Your Forklifts Running at Their Best
Compass Forklifts provides forklift maintenance and servicing across Perth to help reduce breakdowns, improve reliability and keep equipment operating safely. We maintain electric, diesel and LPG forklifts, along with warehouse equipment such as reach trucks, electric pallet jacks and electric stackers, with lithium-ion electric being a strong capability area.
Servicing is not the same on every site. Heat, dust, ramps, floor condition and duty cycle all affect how a forklift wears and what tends to fail first, which is why we do not treat servicing as a generic checklist. Planned maintenance is there to catch issues early, reduce avoidable downtime and keep the equipment suited to the work it is doing.
Why Regular Servicing Matters
protect uptime, safety & long-term costs
Good servicing protects uptime, safety and long-term cost. We offer scheduled servicing plans for long-term hire, rental and customer-owned equipment, built around how the forklift is actually being used. The aim is not to tick boxes. It is to keep the machine reliable, reduce avoidable downtime and deal with wear before it turns into a bigger problem.
During servicing, we check the systems that matter most, including brakes, steering, mast operation, hydraulics, tyres, forks, controls and the key electric, diesel or LPG components linked to the way the equipment is working on site. We also support compliance checks, update service logbooks and, where applicable, review lithium-ion battery and charging data to spot issues early. If a forklift keeps breaking down, it may be a servicing issue, or it may be the wrong fit for the work, which is where a Site Capacity Audit can help.
Forklift Servicing FAQs
Everything You Need to Know
Got questions about forklift servicing? Here are some quick answers to help you understand what’s involved and why it matters.
How often should a forklift be serviced?
It depends on hours of use, the environment and the duty cycle. A forklift running long shifts on ramps and rough surfaces will need a different schedule than a lightly used warehouse unit. Tell us how the forklift is used, and we will recommend a practical service interval.
What is included in a scheduled servicing plan?
A scheduled plan is set up around safety-critical checks, wear points, and the systems most likely to cause downtime on your site. It typically includes planned inspections, servicing tasks aligned to usage, and clear recommendations when wear items or faults are developing.
Can you service a mixed fleet with different brands and fuel types?
Yes. We work across most forklift brands and service electric, diesel and LPG fleets, plus warehouse equipment such as reach trucks, pallet jacks and stackers.
Does servicing reduce breakdowns or just find problems?
Both. Servicing reduces breakdowns by catching wear early, keeping safety-critical systems in good condition, and preventing small faults from becoming major failures. It also helps you plan repairs rather than get forced into urgent callouts.
Should we service even if the forklift seems to be running fine?
Yes. Most faults build up quietly, especially hydraulics, brakes, steering, mast wear and battery performance. Servicing is how you keep reliability stable and avoid surprise downtime.
