Hi Folks,
I have a question for the people who do regular PMs on warehouse forklifts. I have an opportunity to present a maintenance program to a local LTL trucking company to maintain their fleet of forklifts and chargers. They have 7 lifts; 3 Nissans, 3 Crown stand ups, and 1 ancient Toyota that will get sold soon. I've done quite a bit of random jobs fixing fork lifts (my own TCM included), but I've never written a proposal for a maintenance program. They want monthly PM visits and 7 day a week callout. I told them that I can't do 24/7 because I have a 5 year old daughter and my wife travels alot, but I could do regular business hours 7 days a week.
I'm thinking the time requirements are in the area of 40 hours a month. I'm thinking 2 days a month for PMs, and 3 days a month for service calls. That's a completely random number, and that's what I'm hoping you guys will know better. What sort of time would you folks set aside for routine maintenance on 7 lifts?
Thanks for your help!
