- Operational environment.
- Seasonal spikes.
- Extra attachments.

As standard, a forklift truck should be serviced every:
- 250 hours/2 months for an IC forklift

- 500-2000 hours/4 months-12 months for additional parts
As well as following the manufacturer’s guidelines, a qualified Toyota Material Handling technician can help you determine your forklift maintenance frequency and put together a scheduled maintenance plan that fits your forklift needs.
What are your service hours?

Do you provide on-site service?

Lean Service Excellence in the Material Handling Industry: The Toyota Approach
When most people hear “lean production”, they immediately think of Toyota. The Toyota Production System (TPS) has set the global standard for operational excellence in manufacturing. However, the lean principles aren’t limited to production; they are part of the culture that extends throughout the business, including our team of service technicians.
Lean Service Excellence embodies our ongoing commitment to Kaizen and our Zero Muda philosophy, as well as our dedication to our people and, most importantly, to our customers.
FAQs

- Respect for People: Empowering technicians and service teams to solve problems on the spot and deliver real value to customers.
