Service agreements, also known as planned maintenance (PM) contracts are designed to:
- Increase the life of equipment / maximize trade-in value
- Decrease downtime and avoid unexpected repair costs
- Streamline and set monthly operational expenses
- Keep the operator and products safe from injury and damage
- Maintain OSHA compliance
The cost of a maintenance plan for your forklift, sweeper-scrubber, aerial lift or pallet jack depends on how many hours the equipment operates each quarter. Over time, service plans can easily pay for themselves.
At TMHNC we offer three full maintenance plans to accommodate all fleets and budgets. These plans include the needed services and parts and labor for repairs on normal wear and tear items. The silver and platinum are more inclusive to help take the customer out of the forklift repair business.

Thinking about Leasing Equipment?
Any full maintenance plan, when combined with a TFS lease, will result in an additional 5% residual value. This means a lower monthly payment!
