How do PM plans handle hour-meter service intervals?

Set each plan on the calendar interval that matches how hard the truck usually runs. A forklift doing 200 hours a month on a 250-hour service can go every 5 weeks. Log the hour-meter reading on each job in a checklist item or custom field. When a truck works extra shifts, create the next run early.

What happens to a unit's history once we sell it?

Marking it sold removes it from your active fleet view without deleting anything. The full service and repair history stays attached to the asset record, so you can still pull it up later if a buyer question or a dispute over past repairs ever comes up.

forklift maintenance software: Know where every forklift stands

Catalyces is maintenance software for forklift, material handling and rental equipment companies tracking a fleet that's constantly moving. It handles work orders, a daily working-or-stopped status per unit, full service history, inventory for the parts your mechanics use, and a way to mark a unit dispatched or sold once it leaves your yard.

Sound familiar?

The notes on every Equipment Rental whiteboard.

Built for equipment rental and material handling companies running a fleet of forklifts and similar machines, whether units sit on your lot, go out to a job site, or get sold. Works for a yard of ten units or two hundred.

A unit goes out on rent and nobody logs its condition first.
You can't tell which forklifts are due for service without walking the yard.
A client disputes a repair bill with no record to back it up.
Sold units still clutter the active list months later.

A typical day

Same work. Less chasing.

Here’s how an ordinary day goes once the jobs, machines and customers live in one place.

6:15 am
You check the daily status before the yard opens and see which forklifts are marked stopped overnight.
9:40 am
A client calls about a hydraulic leak on a unit out on their site. You pull its full service history before dispatching a mechanic.
2:15 pm
Your mechanic logs the hose replaced and the hours spent, straight from the job site.
5:30 pm
You mark a unit as sold, and it drops off your active fleet without losing its history.

How Catalyces helps Equipment Rental teams

Daily status across the whole fleet

Mark each unit working or stopped every day. A daily status email shows what's down before a client asks. No more walking the yard to find out.

A record that follows the unit anywhere

Every forklift keeps its full service history, parts used and costs, whether it's on your lot or out at a client site. Mark it dispatched or sold and the history stays intact, it just leaves your active fleet.

Preventive maintenance by the calendar

Set a PM plan per unit type and the work order is created automatically. Pick the interval that matches how hard each truck runs, and log the hour reading on every job. Create a run early when a truck works extra shifts.

Inventory for the parts that keep units moving

Issue hoses, filters and forks against the job, and stock drops as you use it. Low stock on common parts shows up on the dashboard before a repair stalls.
