Preventive Maintenance Program for Material Handling Equipment

Your warehouse efficiency depends on the reliability of your equipment. At Buckeye Industrial, our Preventive Maintenance Program is designed to keep your forklifts, pallet racks, conveyors, and storage systems performing safely and efficiently—so you can stay focused on productivity, not repairs.

Why Preventive Maintenance Matters

Unexpected breakdowns cause costly downtime, safety risks, and lost productivity. A structured preventive maintenance schedule helps you identify wear, fatigue, or misalignment issues before they cause damage or injury.
Our maintenance technicians perform routine inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and repairs that extend equipment lifespan and reduce total ownership costs.

  • Forklifts & lift trucks (electric, propane, diesel)
