Vehicle Reconditioning Services in Harvey, IL
Aging industrial equipment does not always need to be replaced. When a machine still has a solid foundation, professional vehicle reconditioning may restore its performance and appearance while extending its service life.
Voss Equipment provides industrial equipment reconditioning at our in-house facility in Harvey, IL. We serve businesses throughout Greater Chicagoland, including Hillside and Joliet, and work on forklifts, railcar movers, industrial utility vehicles, and other equipment.
Contact us to request an evaluation and determine whether reconditioning is right for your machine.
Extend the Life of Your Industrial Equipment
Years of demanding work can leave equipment with worn components, declining performance, and exterior damage. Our equipment reconditioning services address those concerns through a customized combination of mechanical repairs, rebuilding, and cosmetic restoration.
Reconditioning can be a practical alternative when a machine still fits its application but needs more than routine maintenance. Every project begins with an evaluation because not every older or damaged vehicle is a suitable candidate. We consider its condition, repair needs, and remaining service potential before recommending work.
Equipment We Recondition
Our technicians can evaluate and recondition several types of industrial vehicles:
- Forklifts and lift trucks
- Railcar movers
- Industrial utility vehicles
- Other industrial equipment based on condition and service requirements
We work with equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. If reconditioning is not the best fit, customers can explore our available material handling equipment.
Forklift and Equipment Reconditioning Capabilities
The work required depends on the machine. A forklift refurbishment may focus on mechanical reliability, exterior condition, or a combination of services.
Our capabilities include:
- Mechanical inspection and repair
- Minor maintenance through complete overhauls
- Engine and component rebuilding
- Parts replacement
- Bodywork and exterior restoration
- Professional painting
- Battery washing and replacement
- Performance testing
We complete approved work at our in-house facility. Customers can also turn to us for ongoing forklift repair and preventive maintenance.
Our Reconditioning Process
We approach each industrial equipment refurbishment according to the machine’s condition and intended use.
- Evaluate the equipment: We inspect the vehicle for mechanical, structural, and cosmetic concerns
- Develop the scope: Our team determines which repairs, components, and rebuilding work are appropriate
- Complete the reconditioning: Technicians perform the approved mechanical and cosmetic work
- Test the machine: We review operation and performance before it returns to service
This process keeps the work focused on the individual machine rather than applying the same package to every vehicle.
When Does Reconditioning Make Sense?
Lift truck reconditioning may be worth considering when:
- The equipment still fits its intended application
- Its core structure remains viable
- Repair needs can be identified and addressed
- Replacement would require a larger investment
- The business wants more value from an existing asset
- The machine needs cosmetic and mechanical work
Reconditioning may not be right when equipment has severe damage, recurring failures or capabilities that no longer meet operational needs. A professional evaluation can help you compare forklift rebuilding with repair or replacement.
Voss Equipment also offers used and reconditioned equipment for sale as an alternative to purchasing new.
