Your Machine Is Down

You don't have time to be sold to.

Maybe it's 4 a.m. and the night shift is stacked up because a forklift quit on the dock. Maybe it's harvest and a mast won't lift. Maybe the GM wants three quotes by Friday and the corporate dealers haven't returned your calls. Maybe a fitting blew on the only telehandler you've got and the rental company in Baton Rouge says Tuesday at the earliest.

Whatever it is, you didn't get into this work to chase parts and beg for a tech.

You got into it to do the job.

For 23 years

That's been our job too.

We started this shop in Thibodaux in 2003. Family-owned then. Family-owned now. Our team of service techs brings more than 50 years of combined experience to the bench. A+ rated by the BBB. The only authorized Tailift forklift dealer in the state of Louisiana, backed by Toyota Industries' engineering and a 3-year powertrain warranty.

Founded by Bill Bolton in 2003 (since retired). His son, Philip Bolton, runs the company today.

We work on all makes and all models. We answer the phone.

A Simple Plan

Get your iron back in service.

01

Call us, or request a quote.

One phone call. One form. No automated menu. You get a human who knows the difference between a cushion tire and a pneumatic.

02

We diagnose, deliver, or repair.

On your jobsite if it can't move. In our shop if it can. New machine if it makes more sense than another patch on an old one. Majority of parts ordered are in the next business day.

03

You get back to work. And stay there.

Preventative maintenance plans so the next breakdown doesn't happen at the worst possible time. A tech you know by name. A dealer 30 miles from your yard, not 300.

Runs on what nobody sees.

The supply base in Port Fourchon. The fab shop in Houma. The manufacturing line off the Intracoastal. The cold-storage warehouse off LA-1. The lumber yard outside Thibodaux. The parish public-works yard that has to be running by sunrise.

None of this happens without forklifts that start, hoses that hold, and techs who show up.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR 23 YEARS.

The Math

An idle machine is a quiet way to set money on fire.

Unplanned forklift downtime can cost anywhere from $500 to $20,000 an hour, depending on what your machine moves and how much of your operation rides on it. We've never been able to make that math go away. We can shorten the hours.
