Although forklifts are incredibly durable and designed to take a world of punishment, it is not uncommon for a forklift to break down from time to time. When this happens, you may be tempted to attempt forklift repair yourself. However, unless you are a professionally trained forklift repair technician, you should leave the forklift maintenance to Liftow Limited. Here’s why:
As the largest Toyota dealership in North America, Liftow has assembled some of the finest forklift repair technicians available in a web of service locations spanning Ontario, Quebec, and the East Coast. All of our 120 forklift repair technicians are fully-trained on the intricacies of your particular forklift, meaning that they will be able to diagnose and repair the problem in virtually no time at all.
Because your business depends on forklifts for day-to-day business operations, productivity is severely affected when one or more forklifts are sidelines with a mechanical or electrical problem. And while you could spend days or weeks attempting to diagnose and repair the problem yourself, Liftow offers comprehensive on-site forklift repair that will have your forklifts up and running before you know it. So unless you want to cut into your bottom line as a result of decreased productivity, contact Liftow at the first sign of forklift trouble.
Although you may think that DIY forklift repair will save you a few bucks, the truth is that it may actually end up costing you a lot more in the long run. A damaged forklift that is misdiagnosed or improperly repaired is at a greater risk of experiencing catastrophic mechanical failure. And believe us, it costs much less to have one of our professional repair technicians service your forklift than it does to buy a new machine.
Liftow Limited offers forklift service on all forklift makes and models. Our 18 full service branches are at your service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you have any questions, or if you would like a free service quote, contact us online or dial (866) 626-4299.

No matter how big or small your warehouse operations are, there’s sure to be a number of confined spaces that your pallet jack operators must deal with. In these tight spaces, precision maneuvers are a must. Fortunately, this is where Toyota’s innovative Click-to-Creep feature comes in handy.
This video demonstrates how Toyota’s Click-to-Creep feature gives your pallet jack operators increased control and maneuverability in confined spaces. When Click-to-Creep is activated, the pallet jack has a maximum travel speed of 1 mph. This ensures that the operator cannot accidently accelerate the pallet jack into a wall or beam.
Click-to-Creep is available on Toyota Pallet Jack models 7HBW23 and 7BWS10.13. If you would like to learn more about the Click-to-Creep feature on these models, contact Liftow Limited. Liftow is the largest Toyota dealership in North America, specializing in the sale and service of new and used Toyota lift trucks, pallet jacks, stock pickers, and more. To learn more about our inventory of Toyota lift trucks, visit our website or call (866) 626-4299.

Because there is a direct relationship between productivity and the health of your workforce, it’s important that you take every precaution to ensure the health and safety of your employees. In most cases, keeping your employees healthy is simply a matter of providing them with the equipment they need to complete the task at hand. If that task happens to involve lifting and material handling then a forklift is the most helpful piece of equipment you can buy.
Here are just a few of the ways that a forklift will ensure the health and safety of your employees:
- Protection from Heavy Lifting
Even with the correct lifting techniques and safety equipment, heavy lifting can be extremely dangerous. In addition to putting themselves at risk of severe back injury, workers who perform heavy lifting also risk broken bones or severed extremities as a result of dropping heavy boxes on themselves. Fortunately, a forklift eliminates the need for manual heavy lifting.
Constant bending and stretching is an easy way for your employees to injure their backs, especially when they are lifting and moving heavy boxes or equipment. One of the benefits of a forklift, then, is that it minimizes the amount of strain placed on your workers’ backs.
The mental and physical fatigue caused by manual lifting puts your workers at a higher risk of injury. For one, mental fatigue causes workers to inadvertently put themselves in dangerous positions that can result in bodily harm. Physical fatigue, on the other hand, can weaken the body and make your employees more susceptible to injury. So if you want to reduce worker fatigue, let a forklift do the heavy lifting.
Liftow Limited is committed to helping you improve productivity and worker safety by providing the most exceptional material handling equipment, products, and training. We sell new and used Toyota lift trucks for use in any industry. For additional information on our lift truck inventory, visit our website or call (866) 626-4299.
