Engine, Frame, and Hydraulic Service for Material Handling Equipment
National Fleet Management services material handlers and piggyback forklifts at our shops in Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, and Statesville, NC. Material handlers see some of the heaviest, most repetitive use of any equipment in a fleet, constant lifting, loading, and repositioning under load, which means engine, frame, and hydraulic components all wear faster than they would on a standard vehicle.
NFM services the full range of what keeps a material handler running: diesel engine repair, frame reinforcement for stress and cracking from repeated heavy loads, and hydraulic system service for the lift and tilt functions the equipment depends on. For any structural cracking or reinforcement work, NFM's welding and fabrication team handles the repair in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does NFM service piggyback forklifts as well as standalone material handlers?
Yes, NFM services both piggyback forklifts and standalone material handlers.
What are signs a material handler needs frame repair?
Visible cracking, misalignment affecting operation, or unusual stress points from repeated heavy loading are signs frame reinforcement may be needed.
Why do material handlers need more frequent service than other fleet equipment?
Material handlers see constant, repetitive heavy-load use, lifting, loading, and repositioning throughout the day, which puts more sustained stress on the engine, frame, and hydraulic systems than typical vehicle use.
