With more than 35 years of experience and industry expertise , Alta ’ s service division provides guaranteed response times with forklift service available 24 hours a day , 365 days per year . Equipped with a large selection of on-site parts , Alta ’ s technicians carry out speedy diagnostics and aim to get equipment back up and running as quickly as possible . If the problem cannot be fixed onsite , customers can choose from one of Alta ’ s available rentals to keep projects on track while equipment is being repaired .
