Our History
Brad’s Forklift Repair has been a registered small business since November 2021 and has experienced steady growth since the launch of BFR with an astonishing 63 plus and counting repeat customers as of 2024. Find out why most of our customer base remains loyal to our services today! BFR is owner-operated and is often a one man show, who services all equipment for the customers and maintains paperwork with the full-time help of his wife creating an unparalleled team in charge of all BFR operations. Honorable mentions go to the occasional help received from family and friends with clean backgrounds and mechanical experience. Substantial improvements are expected to continue towards success that will be attributed to one of the few husband and wife teams in the heavy equipment repair industry and our mission to provide affordable forklift repair services.
Our Mission
The BFR team firmly believes that a company is only as good as its employees and customers within. BFR was established to improve customer communication and reduce unnecessary corporate expenses with customer appreciation being demonstrated by scheduling a plan to minimize your equipment down time while considering the demands of your equipment and your budget with a greater mission of providing a solid foundation that will grow your company and ours. Brad’s extensive and prior hands-on experience in the industry has helped him to put together a business combination that delivers higher productivity and profit margins to your bottom line. BFR has proven that a focus on customer satisfaction by providing quality service to remain competitive within the industry is the key to success. These qualities are what sets BFR apart from corporate forklift repair service competitors.
Our Future
BFR’s mission will always remain the same; with a focus on customer service and continuing to strategize offers to customers for the customizable services they seek. Our future vision is to become one of the leading mobile equipment repair services on the east coast.
