Downtime is one of the biggest threats to productivity in any material handling operation. When a forklift unexpectedly goes down, the cost goes beyond the repair itself. Lost productivity, delayed orders, rental equipment, and disrupted operations can quickly add up.

A proactive forklift maintenance plan can help reduce unexpected breakdowns, identify potential repairs earlier, and keep equipment performing at its best.

Dillon Toyota Lift offers three levels of forklift maintenance programs: Planned Maintenance (PM), PM Plus, and Full Maintenance (FM). Each provides a different level of coverage, allowing businesses to choose a maintenance strategy that fits their equipment, application, and budget.

Why Is Regular Forklift Maintenance Important?

Forklifts work hard every day, and normal wear can eventually lead to larger problems if it goes unnoticed. Routine maintenance gives trained technicians an opportunity to inspect critical components, address developing issues, and maintain a service history for each lift.

A proactive maintenance program can help businesses:

• Reduce unexpected forklift downtime
• Identify potential repairs before a breakdown
• Maintain equipment performance
• Extend equipment life
• Make maintenance costs more predictable
• Keep accurate equipment maintenance records

The right level of coverage depends on how frequently your equipment operates, its application, age, environment, and how much maintenance risk your business wants to manage internally.

Planned Maintenance (PM)

Dillon Toyota Lift’s Planned Maintenance (PM) program is available for material handling equipment of any make or model.

Regularly scheduled service allows Toyota Certified Technicians to inspect your equipment and identify potential problems before they become more costly repairs. Dillon Toyota Lift also maintains a service history for each lift and schedules maintenance based on factory recommendations, usage, and application.

The PM program includes:

• 88-point inspection on IC forklifts
• 74-point inspection on electric forklifts
• Maintenance schedules based on factory recommendations, usage, and application
• Flat-rate labor
• Service from an authorized Toyota forklift dealer

PM may be a good fit for: Businesses looking for preventative maintenance while continuing to manage repairs and other service expenses separately.

PM Plus: Maintenance Made Simple

For businesses looking for more coverage and more predictable maintenance expenses, PM Plus bridges the gap between standard Planned Maintenance and Full Maintenance.

PM Plus bundles four Planned Maintenance services and an Annual Service into one monthly payment, simplifying maintenance scheduling and budgeting.

PM Plus includes:

• Four PM services per year
• Annual Service
• Parts and labor for included maintenance
• Fixed monthly payment
• Priority service if a breakdown occurs

The Annual Service provides an additional level of preventative care designed to help reduce downtime, identify potential repairs, and extend the life of your equipment.

PM Plus may be a good fit for: Operations that want more comprehensive preventative maintenance and predictable monthly costs without moving to a Full Maintenance program.

Full Maintenance (FM)

For businesses that want the highest level of maintenance cost predictability, Dillon Toyota Lift offers Full Maintenance (FM) plans.

Rather than budgeting separately for routine maintenance, service, and many replacement parts, Full Maintenance provides a fixed monthly rate for covered expenses.

Full Maintenance plans can include:

• Planned Maintenance
• Toyota 360 Support Plus
• Service costs and covered replacement parts
• Brakes, lights, seats, alarms, sensors, displays, and more
• Terms up to 72 months
• Rental discounts for major breakdowns
• Personalized maintenance plans

Dillon Toyota Lift can customize a Full Maintenance program based on your equipment and operation.

Full Maintenance may be a good fit for: Businesses that prioritize predictable equipment expenses and want to reduce the financial uncertainty associated with unexpected repairs.

Which Forklift Maintenance Plan Is Right for You?

There isn’t one maintenance program that fits every operation.

Planned Maintenance provides essential preventative maintenance and inspections. PM Plus adds an Annual Service and predictable monthly billing. Full Maintenance provides broader coverage for businesses looking for greater control over their ongoing maintenance and repair expenses.

The best option depends on your fleet size, equipment usage, application, operating environment, and budget.
