All-Makes Forklift Repair for Old and New Equipment

In addition to onsite forklift repair and service, Nagel Lift Truck has its own fully equipped service and diagnostic center to handle electrical, hydraulic, transmission, engine, brake, mast, tire, and general repair work for all makes and models of lift trucks. We are especially strong with older forklifts that need practical troubleshooting, parts support, and an honest repair plan before replacement is considered. We also service other types of material handling and industrial equipment at our Griffith, Indiana facility, including:

  • Specialty Material Handling Equipment
  • Aerial Work Platforms (Scissors, Booms & Personnel Lifts)
  • Rough Terrain Forklifts
  • Carry-Deck Cranes
  • Scrubbers & Sweepers
  • Trash Compactors
  • Utility Vehicles
  • I.C. Pneumatic Forklifts
  • Electric Cushion Forklifts

If your lift truck requires extensive work and will be out of commission for a period of time, we offer quality forklift rentals to help you seamlessly continue your operations. 

Avoid Future Repair Headaches with Our Preventative Maintenance Program

To keep your car running at peak performance, you take measures like getting your oil changed every 3,000 miles and having your tires rotated.  Forklift trucks are no different.  In fact, missing an easy forklift repair can often lead to big, expensive problems down the road.

To help you avoid future headaches, Nagel Lift Truck offers a Preventative Maintenance Program that’s tailored to meet your individual needs and rate of usage.  A Preventative Maintenance (PM) is a scheduled service during which one of our technicians comes out to your location.  Your trucks’ fluid, belts, safety equipment, filters, and tires are thoroughly inspected to make sure they are in prime working condition. In addition, we change the oil, oil filter and air filter. 

Do you depend on your forklift trucks day in and day out?  If so, monthly maintenance will give you extra protection against business-stopping breakdowns.  If you use your lift trucks only occasionally, a bi-yearly plan is probably sufficient coverage.  Nagel Lift Truck charges a flat rate for PM visits; parts incur an additional charge.   We offer parts for all makes and models of forklift trucks as well as floor sweepers/scrubbers and scissor lifts.
