As winter approaches, it’s essential to make sure your fleet is ready to perform efficiently and safely, no matter the conditions. At Southeast Handling Systems (SHS), we know that proper maintenance is the key to reliable performance year-round. Our Planned Maintenance Programs and Full Maintenance Plans are designed to keep your forklifts, aerial lifts, and other equipment in top condition, helping you avoid unexpected downtime when productivity matters most.

Inspect and Service Before the Cold Hits
Winter weather can expose weak spots in your fleet. Low temperatures affect batteries, hydraulics, and tires, while moisture can cause corrosion or electrical issues. Scheduling a preventive maintenance service before winter arrives ensures your equipment is ready for the challenges ahead. Our technicians check fluid levels, filters, tires, and electrical components to make sure every unit operates safely and efficiently.

Protect Your Power Sources
Battery health is especially important in cold weather. Reduced temperatures can slow charging and shorten run times. SHS technicians can test, clean, and maintain your batteries and charging systems to maximize performance and longevity throughout the season.

Plan Ahead with Reliable Support
With monthly, quarterly, or customized maintenance intervals available, SHS makes it easy to plan ahead and avoid costly breakdowns. Our guaranteed 4-hour response time ensures your team gets fast, dependable service whenever issues arise.

Keeping your fleet ready for winter is more than just routine upkeep, it’s an investment in productivity and safety.
