A forklift that stops mid-shift doesn’t just cost you the repair. It costs you the pallets that didn’t move, the truck that waited, and the overtime to catch up.
Retrolex has worked on materials handling equipment for over 70 years, and most of what we see isn’t sudden. It’s a hydraulic leak that was weeping for weeks, brakes that were reported and not logged, a service interval that slipped past while the machine was busy. Catching those is cheaper than recovering from them.
Our technicians handle scheduled servicing, fault finding and repairs, on your site rather than ours wherever the job allows. When something does go down without warning, we run 24/7 emergency cover with a four-hour response target across Gauteng.

For breakdowns we operate 24/7 with a four-hour response target across Gauteng. Routine service bookings are usually scheduled within a few working days. If a machine is standing, phone 011 609 1726 rather than emailing — we’ll tell you straight away what we can do.
Yes. Planned maintenance on a fixed interval catches wear before it becomes a breakdown, and it makes costs predictable rather than lumpy. We’ll set the interval against your operating hours and application.
On site wherever the job allows — most servicing, fault finding and common repairs are done at your premises. Major overhauls and machining work come back to Edenvale. We’ll tell you which applies once we’ve seen it.
Toyota, Mitsubishi, TCM and Nissan primarily, and we work on most other major brands including Hyster, Yale, Linde and Doosan. Give us the make and model and we’ll confirm.
All of Gauteng from Founders View South in Edenvale — Johannesburg, the East Rand, Kempton Park, Germiston, Boksburg, Midrand and Sandton.
