Electric Forklift Service

On-site service for electric forklifts. Battery and charging system work, motor and control diagnosis, and full repair coverage, performed at your facility.

Electric forklifts have a different failure profile than internal combustion units. The battery is the most expensive component, the charging cycle has direct impact on its life, and the motor and control systems require their own diagnostic approach. Apex services every system on the unit, from battery to mast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a forklift repair typically take?

Lead acid batteries generally last three to five years, or around 1,200 to 1,500 charge cycles, while lithium batteries can last closer to eight to ten years with proper care. Actual lifespan depends heavily on charging habits and daily usage, which is something a technician from Apex Forklift Solutions can assess during a visit.

Often, yes. Loose connections, corrosion, or a failing cell can sometimes be repaired if the battery is still relatively young, while a battery near the end of its charge cycle life usually makes more sense to replace. Apex Forklift Solutions tests the battery first so you know which situation you’re actually dealing with before spending money either way.

The two can look identical from the outside, since both show up as a forklift that won’t hold a charge or won’t power on. A load test and voltage check on both the battery and the charger is the reliable way to isolate which one is actually failing, and that diagnostic work is part of what Apex Forklift Solutions does on-site before recommending a repair.

Lead acid batteries need regular watering, equalizing charges, and a cool down period between charges, while lithium batteries are largely maintenance free and can handle opportunity charging between shifts. Apex Forklift Solutions services both types, so the maintenance plan is built around whichever battery your forklift actually runs.

Watering is typically needed about every five to ten charge cycles, always after a full charge and never before, so the plates stay covered. Apex Forklift Solutions can fold battery watering into a scheduled visit so it doesn’t get missed between services.
