Free Forklift Mechanic
Service Agreement
One blown hydraulic hose can dump a thousand gallons of oil and a million-dollar lawsuit on your head. If your paperwork isn't airtight, you'll be paying for their warehouse downtime out of your own retirement fund.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure you aren't on the hook for the client's lost production profits if a machine goes down.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Forklift Mechanic, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when a 'simple' repair turns into a total engine teardown mid-job?
Stop the wrenches and get a signed change order before you touch another bolt; a solid contract defines exactly what 'basic repair' covers so you can bill for the extra blood and sweat.
The warehouse manager says I'm responsible for a rack collapse that happened while I was off-site—how do I fight this?
You use your 'Site Condition' photos and a signed-off completion form to prove the machine was safe when you left; the contract is your shield against their incompetence.
How do I stop these guys from adding five more 'quick fixes' to my invoice without paying more?
Your contract needs a clear 'Scope of Work' that lists every nut and bolt; if it isn't on the list, it's a new billable event, and the paperwork makes that non-negotiable.
