Preventive forklift maintenance
Maintenance programmes tailored to the type of forklift and its working hours, to extend its working life and prevent breakdowns.
Why preventive maintenance
Preventive and corrective maintenance lets you extend the working life of the forklift and its components and detect any operating fault in time, before it turns into a costly repair.
Carremar offers tailored maintenance programmes based on the type of forklift and its working hours, adapted to the needs of each customer.
What maintenance includes
- Brake and steering check
- Mast, chains and forks
- Hydraulic system and possible leaks
- Engine or electric drive system
- Battery, charger and connections
- Tyres and safety components
The exact scope depends on the machine and how it is used; we set it out in detail in our proposal. You will find more detail in our guide what preventive maintenance includes.
For fleets of any brand
We maintain forklifts of every brand, from a single unit to complete fleets. And if you would rather not worry about anything, contract hire includes preventive and corrective maintenance in the fee.

Frequency
There is no single schedule: it depends on the type of machine, the working hours and the environment (clean indoor areas, outdoors, dust, cold). That is why we design customised programmes based on the type of forklift and its operating hours.

Preventive or corrective
Preventive maintenance is planned to avoid failures; corrective maintenance repairs what has already broken down. Combining both is the most economical way to maintain a fleet. With contract hire, both are included in the monthly fee.
Frequently asked questions
