Complete Houston Forklift Service, Maintenance & Parts
Whether you run a single Class IV diesel cushion truck or a fleet of 40+ electric stand-up reach trucks, our technicians handle regular maintenance, emergency breakdowns, preventive-maintenance (PM) programs, OSHA-compliant annual inspections, and hard-to-find parts sourcing. Every job is quoted clearly up front, started on time, and finished with a written service record you can hand to your safety and compliance teams.
- Emergency Forklift Repair — 24/7: Same-day dispatch across Houston, Humble, Sugar Land, Katy, Pasadena, Baytown, The Woodlands, and surrounding communities. When a lift truck goes down, a technician is typically on site within 90 minutes during business hours.
- Preventive Maintenance Programs: Scheduled 30 / 60 / 90 / 180-day service plans built around your run hours, shift schedule, and OEM intervals. Includes hydraulic inspection, mast chains, brake system check, and a written report every visit.
- Forklift Parts & Accessories: OEM and OEM-equivalent parts for Toyota, Crown, Hyster, Yale, Komatsu, Caterpillar, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Clark, Doosan, and more — hydraulic hoses, forks, tires, masts, batteries, chargers, safety lights, and full-engine rebuilds.
- Electric & Propane Conversions: Moving from propane to electric to cut fuel and ventilation cost? Our techs spec, source, and install batteries and chargers matched to your duty cycle and charging infrastructure.
- Annual OSHA Inspections: Full written inspection against OSHA 1910.178 requirements. We document safe-to-operate status or produce a prioritized repair list you can action immediately — perfect for audits and insurance documentation.
- Aerial & Material-Handling Equipment: Scissor lifts, boom lifts, pallet jacks (manual and electric), reach trucks, order pickers, stackers, and tow tractors. One shop, one invoice, one PM calendar for every piece of equipment on your floor.
Why Houston Businesses Trust Upright Forklift Repair
- 20+ Years Serving Houston: Since 2004 we've kept Houston's warehouses, ports, and construction yards running. We know which brands show up in which industries, what fails in Gulf-coast humidity, and how to source parts fast when a truck is down mid-shift.
- Factory-Trained, Certified Technicians: Our team holds current manufacturer training on Toyota, Crown, Hyster, Yale, and Caterpillar platforms. You get a correct diagnosis on the first visit — not guesswork billed by the hour.
- Average On-Site Response Under 90 Minutes: During business hours, most Houston-metro customers see a service truck on site within 90 minutes of calling dispatch. After hours, we quote an ETA before the truck rolls so you can plan around it.
- One Invoice, All Brands, All Power Sources: Diesel, LPG, dual-fuel, 24V, 36V, 48V, 80V — we service every major forklift configuration on the market. Your PM calendar, service history, and parts ordering all live in one account.
- Genuine OEM Parts on Every Truck: Our service vehicles roll out loaded with common wear parts, hydraulic fittings, safety components, and diagnostic tools, so most first-visit calls finish with a completed repair — not a parts-order follow-up.
- Clear Quotes, Written Records, No Surprises: Every service finishes with a written report covering findings, parts used, labor hours, and recommended next actions. Perfect for safety audits, insurance documentation, and fleet budgeting.

What Houston Customers Are Saying
Upright Forklift Repair holds a 4.8-star Google rating from 18 verified reviews — the result of 20+ years of showing up on time, quoting clearly, and fixing the truck the first time.
★★★★★ “Called them at 6 AM with a down reach truck. Tech was on site by 7:45, diagnosed a hydraulic line, had the part on the truck, and we were back running before the morning shift was finished. This is the reason we stopped rotating vendors.”
— Warehouse Ops Manager, NW Houston
★★★★★ “Upright has been handling our PM schedule across three buildings for four years. Reports are clean, invoicing is predictable, and when we’ve had a breakdown they’ve always answered the phone.”
— Distribution Center, Baytown
★★★★★ “Got quotes from two other shops first — Upright came in 15% cheaper AND was the only one that offered a written OSHA-compliant inspection report.”
— Construction Yard, Katy
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does forklift repair cost in Houston?
Repair cost depends on the failure, the brand, and the class of truck. A simple hydraulic-hose replacement on a Class IV diesel is usually $300–$600 all-in; a full brake job runs $800–$1,500; and an engine overhaul can start around $3,500 and up. Every quote includes labor hours, OEM parts, and travel — no hidden fees. Most repairs are diagnosed and started on the first visit.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency forklift service?
Yes. We dispatch service trucks across the Houston metro 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (346) 559-8290 and dispatch will confirm an ETA before the truck rolls. During business hours (Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM CT) most Houston-metro customers see a tech on site within 90 minutes. After-hours and weekend calls are billed at an emergency rate, quoted up front before any work starts.
Which forklift brands do you service?
All major manufacturers sold into the U.S. market: Toyota, Crown, Hyster, Yale, Komatsu, Caterpillar (CAT), Mitsubishi, Nissan / Unicarriers, Clark, Doosan, Raymond, Linde, Jungheinrich, Combilift, and TCM. We also service aerial equipment (JLG, Genie, Skyjack, Snorkel) and most pallet-jack and reach-truck lines. If you’re not sure whether we cover a specific make or model, call dispatch and we’ll confirm before scheduling.
What Houston-area cities do you cover?
Primary same-day coverage: Houston, Humble, Kingwood, Atascocita, Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Tomball, Cypress, Katy, Sugar Land, Stafford, Missouri City, Pearland, Pasadena, Deer Park, La Porte, Baytown, Channelview, and Aldine. Extended service area by appointment: Galveston, Texas City, Beaumont, Brenham, Huntsville, and College Station. If your operation sits outside those corridors, we can usually still help — call dispatch for a scheduled visit.
How fast can you get a technician on site?
During business hours (Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM CT), the average on-site response for Houston-metro customers is under 90 minutes from the time you call dispatch. After-hours response is typically 2–4 hours depending on location and technician rotation. For PM-contract customers, we schedule visits in advance so there’s zero unplanned wait.
Are you a forklift dealer or rental operation?
No. Upright Forklift Repair is a dedicated service, parts, and maintenance shop — we focus exclusively on keeping forklifts running. We do not carry equipment inventory for purchase, and we do not operate a rental fleet. That focus is deliberate: a service-only shop gives every customer a technician who’s measured on uptime and repair quality, not on moving equipment. If you need to acquire a lift truck or arrange short-term use of one, we’re happy to recommend reputable Houston-area forklift dealers and rental yards we already partner with on the parts and service side.
