3 Reasons to Have a PM Agreement
A Planned Maintenance Agreement is vital to keeping your forklift fleet healthy for a number of reasons.
-
During a typical PM Service inspection a technician can identify wear items before they fail, break, or damage other parts. They can note safety related items that are inoperable and suggest replacements to you to help protect your company from potential liability.

Second, a PM Service agreement demonstrates a service company’s true capabilities. Your repair company should be working with you to lower your overall operating costs. They should arrive on schedule for PM Services, have the parts needed for maintenance and repairs stocked on the service vehicle..
