DOOSAN GC55C
Complaint: Steering axle falling out of the machine… for the THIRD time.
We recently picked up this new customer through a referral from a good friend in the industry. When we arrived, they had a slew of paper-roll trucks with issues—but this Doosan came with a story.
The steering axle had already fallen out twice. Each time it went down, the machine sat at our competitor’s shop for MONTHS.
Coincidentally, the steer axle fell out again.
To avoid another round of ridiculous downtime and added cost, we performed the repair on-site. Once we started tearing into it, things got ugly—fast.
Our incredible competitors had drilled the broken studs out crooked AND used the wrong-sized drill bit for the tap. What should’ve been a lower-frame repair turned into removing the rad, engine supports, counterweight, exhaust, overhead guard, and more.
We removed the damaged subframe section and brought it to our good friends at 45 Fab, who did the repair RIGHT. Then we returned, put the entire machine back together, and got it back into service.
They had it for months.
We did it correctly in 10 days.
There isn’t a single forklift repair company in this state that can compete with us. 🤷🏻♂️
