From Hydraulic Failures To Forklifts That Won't Start
Forklifts spend their working lives lifting, lowering, turning, and carrying heavy materials. That constant demand takes a toll on hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical components.
When something fails, your entire workflow can suffer.
Common forklift problems include:
- Forks that won't lift or hold their position
- Hydraulic leaks around hoses or cylinders
- Jerky or uneven mast movement
- Starting and charging problems
- Steering difficulties
- Worn brakes or unusual noises
- Loss of power under load
- Faulty electrical connections
When it comes down it, a leaking hose may seem minor until the forklift can't lift properly. Likewise, a worn hydraulic component can affect operation long before the machine stops working.
Our forklift repair services focus on finding the actual failure and determining what needs to be repaired.
Repair Specialists That Understand Forklift Repairs
Not every heavy-duty repair shop specializes in lifting equipment.
Romar Truck Repair of Rochester does more than work on diesel trucks. Crane, boom, and hydraulic systems are central to our repair capabilities, giving you a local option for equipment with demanding lifting mechanisms.
One particular advantage is our ability to fabricate hydraulic hoses in-house.
When your forklift has a damaged hydraulic hose, you don't necessarily need to source a replacement through another provider. Our team can assess the hose and determine whether an appropriate replacement can be fabricated.
We also understand that a lifting problem isn't always caused by the most visible component.
Hydraulic cylinders, valves, pumps, fittings, and connections all influence system performance. Identifying the cause matters more than simply replacing the first part that looks worn.
For businesses relying on forklifts every day, that means access to specialized repair knowledge without automatically looking outside the Rochester area.

Mobile repair is available within roughly 20–40 miles of Henrietta, depending on the equipment and required work.
Why Won't My Forklift Lift Properly?
Poor lifting performance can result from low hydraulic fluid, worn pumps, leaking cylinders, restricted hydraulic flow, or malfunctioning control valves. The problem may appear as slow lifting, uneven movement, or an inability to hold a load. Proper testing helps identify the responsible component.
Can A Forklift Hydraulic Hose Be Repaired?
Damaged hydraulic hoses generally require replacement rather than patching because they operate under significant pressure. A suitable replacement must meet the equipment's pressure, size, fitting, and application requirements. Continued operation with a leaking or damaged hose can create safety risks and additional equipment problems.
