"With 16 fully-equipped, mobile service vans across the area, we can provide emergency callout response 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Lyle Knudsen says. "We do anything from a minor tune-up to major overhauls and rebuilds."

Service is provided for any products sold or leased by the company including forklifts, pallet trucks, loading-dock equipment, elevating docks, scissor lifts and booms, skid steers, reach trucks and electric stackers. Contract service, backup service, preventative maintenance programs and maintenance leases are available.

"Leasing is a big part of our business now," Knudsen says. "With major equipment, at least 70 per cent of our sales are now leases. Full Maintenance Leases let the customer do what they do best, without the problem of maintaining the equipment. Any products or systems we sell can qualify for leasing programs, not just mobile equipment."

Technicians are factory trained and highly qualified. Their specialized skills and resources are shared between branches and departments of the company. Some industry specific customer services include scheduled P.M. service, mandatory mast inspections, emissions testing and operator and mechanical safety training. Other services include 24 hour dispatching, computerized tracking of all work orders and repairs and fleet maintenance.
