By Upright Forklift Repair | Serving Humble, TX and Greater Houston Since 2005
When your forklift goes down, your entire operation can grind to a halt. Lost hours mean lost revenue. That’s why businesses across the Houston metro have trusted Upright Forklift Repair for fast, reliable, and technically sound forklift repair and maintenance services. Based in Humble, TX, we’ve spent nearly two decades keeping warehouses running, construction sites moving, and logistics companies on schedule.
This page tells you exactly who we are, what we do, and why so many companies in the Greater Houston area call us first when equipment goes down.
Who We Are: Upright Forklift Repair in Humble, TX
Upright Forklift Repair was founded in 2005 in Humble, TX by a team of certified heavy equipment technicians who saw a clear gap in the local market. Warehouse operators and construction companies needed fast, honest, expert-level forklift repair — without the long wait times and inflated invoices from big dealerships.
Since then, we’ve completed more than 12,000 documented repair and maintenance jobs across the Greater Houston area. Our team has grown to include eight full-time certified technicians, each with a minimum of seven years of hands-on experience in forklift diagnostics and repair.
Our Credentials and Team Qualifications
- OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 compliance-trained technicians
- Manufacturer-authorized training credentials from Toyota, Crown, Hyster, Yale, and Raymond
- Certified in electric, propane (LPG), diesel, and internal combustion forklift systems
- Licensed and insured in the state of Texas
- Member of the Industrial Truck Association (ITA)
- A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
Our lead technicians have completed factory-level training programs directly with major manufacturers. That means when we open the hood of your equipment, we know exactly what we’re looking at — and exactly how to fix it right the first time.
Our Location
We are headquartered at Humble, TX 77338. You can reach us by phone to schedule service, request an emergency dispatch, or ask a technical question. We serve customers on-site throughout the Greater Houston region every day of the week.
Our Mission: Services Tailored to Your Business
Our mission is simple: deliver repair and maintenance services tailored to your business’s specific needs — on time, on budget, and with full transparency.
We work with warehouse operators, construction companies, and logistics managers who can’t afford downtime. We understand the pressure you’re under. That’s why every service plan, every quote, and every repair visit is built around your schedule, your equipment, and your operational goals.
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you run a single reach truck or a fleet of forty forklifts, we assess your situation and build a plan that works for you. Our preventative maintenance programs are designed to reduce breakdowns before they happen — saving your business money in the long run.
Preventative Maintenance Plans That Protect Your Investment
A planned maintenance schedule is one of the best investments your business can make. Our tailored preventative maintenance programs include:
- Scheduled fluid checks, filter replacements, and lubrication services
- Battery inspection and load testing for electric forklifts
- Brake system evaluation and adjustment
- Hydraulic system pressure testing
- Mast and carriage inspection for wear and alignment
- OSHA-mandated pre-shift inspection checklist reviews
- Detailed maintenance logs provided after every visit
Companies that follow a structured maintenance schedule with us report up to 40% fewer emergency breakdowns compared to reactive repair-only approaches. That translates directly to fewer delays and lower repair costs over time.

Safety Compliance and OSHA Considerations
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.178 requires that powered industrial trucks be inspected and maintained in safe operating condition at all times. Non-compliant equipment can result in fines, shutdowns, and — most importantly — serious workplace injuries.
Our technicians understand OSHA compliance requirements in depth. Every repair we complete is documented and meets the regulatory standards your business needs. We can also provide operator training services to help your team meet OSHA’s forklift operator certification requirements.
