Forklift & Warehouse Equipment Repair
Mondak Equipment repairs forklifts and warehouse equipment across the hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and electronic systems that keep them productive.
When One Machine Goes Down, the Work Around It Slows Down Too
A forklift that will not travel, lift correctly or make it through a shift can quickly become more than a maintenance issue.
You already know what the machine is doing.
Our job is to determine why.

- Lift and tilt cylinders
- Hydraulic hoses and fittings
- Masts and carriages
- Lift chains
- Rollers and bearings
- Side-shifters and attachments

- Starting and charging
- Wiring and connectors
- Sensors and switches
- Controllers
- Travel and hydraulic controls
Slow Lift Does Not Automatically Mean a Bad Pump
Hydraulic symptoms can be misleading.
A forklift that lifts slowly may have a worn pump, but it may also have internal leakage, a valve problem, cylinder bypass, restricted suction, excessive heat or an electronic control issue.
We can look at:
- Hydraulic pressure
- Flow
- Pump condition
- Internal leakage
- Valve operation
- Cylinder bypass
- Temperature
- Solenoid commands
- Sensor inputs
- Control signals
Before replacing an expensive component, it helps to know whether it is actually the problem.
Travel & Drivetrain Problems
A forklift that will not move, or moves differently once it gets hot, can involve several systems.
Depending on the machine, we may look at:
- Powershift transmissions
- Hydrostatic drive
- Electric drive motors
- Differentials
- Axles
- Brakes
- Direction controls
- Solenoids
- Sensors
- Controllers
- Wiring and communication
The symptom may feel mechanical while the cause is electrical, hydraulic or electronic.
That is why we troubleshoot the machine as a system.
LPG, Diesel & Gas Equipment
Internal-combustion forklifts bring their own operating problems.
Mondak can work with issues involving:
- Hard starting
- Poor running
- Loss of power
- Fuel delivery
- LPG systems
- Cooling
- Charging
- Engine controls
- Emissions systems where applicable
A machine that runs poorly under load gives us different information than one that will not start at all.
We use the symptoms instead of assuming every running problem has the same cause.
Electric Forklifts & Warehouse Equipment
Electric equipment requires a different diagnostic approach.
We work with problems involving:
- Industrial batteries
- Battery connectors and cables
- Chargers
- Contactors
- Controllers
- Electric motors
- Travel controls
- Hydraulic controls
- Sensors
- Wiring
- Charging problems
- Low run-time complaints
A short run time does not automatically mean the battery is finished.
Battery condition, charging, connections and the equipment itself can all affect how long the machine operates.
Masts, Chains, Rollers & Mechanical Wear
Not every forklift problem needs a scan tool or hydraulic test kit.
Mechanical wear still matters.
We can inspect and repair problems involving:
- Mast rollers
- Carriage rollers
- Bearings
- Lift chains
- Pins and bushings
- Side-shifters
- Fork-positioning equipment
- Attachments
- Cylinder mounts
- Worn pivot points
Hydraulic force only helps if the mechanical equipment can transfer it correctly.
Industrial Tires
Forklift tires are part of keeping the machine available.
Mondak provides Mobile Industrial Tire Press service for applicable press-on and solid industrial tire work.
Instead of transporting the entire forklift solely for a tire change, the press can be brought to the equipment where appropriate.
Older & Hard-to-Support Forklifts
Older forklifts can remain productive long after some of their original components become difficult to find.
When an OEM component is obsolete or unavailable, Mondak can look at alternatives such as:
- Repairing the original component
- Rebuilding hydraulic components
- Cross-referencing replacements
- Repairing wiring and controls
- Adapting hydraulic fittings
- Machining unavailable parts
- Fabricating brackets or mounts
The machine does not automatically become obsolete because one part number did.
Mobile Service Where the Forklift Works
A forklift buried in a warehouse or working in a yard does not always need to be hauled somewhere before diagnosis starts.
Mondak provides mobile diagnostics and repair, backed by shop capabilities for components that require rebuilding, machining or more extensive work.
Tell Us What It Is Doing
Whether the forklift will not start, will not travel, lifts slowly, has an electrical fault or simply is not performing the way it used to, you do not need to diagnose it first.
Give us the manufacturer, model, location and symptoms. We'll start there.
