Independent service for Taylor heavy capacity forklifts and container handlers from Austin to San Antonio. Preventative maintenance, diagnostics, repair, and Fleet Program coverage for the big trucks that move your heaviest loads. Based in Buda. Keeping your business running on time since 1993.
Taylor Machine Works builds forklifts for loads that most trucks are not made to carry. Taylor is widely known for heavy capacity forklifts and container handlers, and those trucks show up where the freight is heavy: steel and building materials yards, precast and concrete plants, lumber and construction supply, and manufacturers that move large components all day.
In Central Texas a Taylor fleet is often small and does hard work. One or two trucks may carry the heaviest picks on the whole site, next to a larger fleet of lighter forklifts from other brands. You find them in industrial yards along I-35 and SH 130, in plants around Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos, and in materials yards across San Antonio, Schertz, and New Braunfels.
Fleets choose Taylor because the trucks are built around heavy capacity and long duty cycles. Authorized dealers are a good source for a new truck and for warranty work. Independent service fits when you need ongoing maintenance and repair from one team that is close by.
The service question is uptime. When the one truck that can lift the load stops, the job stops. An independent shop in Buda since 1993 can keep that truck on a plan instead of a call after it quits.
R&R Lift services Taylor forklifts across heavy capacity trucks and container handling equipment.
Taylor heavy capacity trucks handle the oversized and overweight picks in industrial and yard work.
Service work covers engines, fuel systems, heavy duty hydraulics, transmission and drivetrain, brakes, steering, mast and carriage, tires, and the full PM scope on the rest of the machine.
Taylor is widely known for container handlers, the trucks that move shipping containers in yards and terminals.
Service work covers hydraulic systems, mast and carriage inspection, chains and rollers, drivetrain, brakes, steering, tires, and a visual check of the structure for wear and damage.
Taylor trucks are built to last, and many are still in daily service after years and more than one owner.
If a Taylor truck still moves the load, we service it. We tell you when a part is scarce, and we tell you what the repair path looks like before we start.
The work we run on Taylor fleets in Central Texas falls into four categories.
Preventative maintenance. Scheduled PM visits with documented inspections. Planned service intervals, not a call after the machine already stopped. Thorough PM is the line that cuts reactive repair cost and downtime cost.
Diagnostics. Heavy capacity trucks produce fault codes and hydraulic symptoms that a scan tool alone does not explain. Codes are a starting point. We test hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical systems on site. Intermittent issues get a real diagnostic visit, not a parts swap and a hope.
Repair. Engine work, heavy duty hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and hoses, mast and chain, carriage, brakes, steering, electrical, transmission and drivetrain. Most repair work happens on site. When a job needs shop level work, we coordinate transport and give you a timeline. Technicians carry common wear items on the truck so a PM or a simple repair can finish without a second trip for a filter or a hose.
Fleet program coverage. For operations running 10+ forklifts, the Fleet Program is a scheduled maintenance for the whole fleet. Planned service intervals, documented inspections, and one team that knows every unit you run. Fleet Program customers get a tech on site to diagnose within 24 hours for a down unit and within 2 business days for everything else. Guaranteed. Same day or next business day. After hours service is reserved for Fleet Program customers.
R&R Lift is an independent forklift company. We service Taylor equipment.
Warranty claims on a new Taylor machine should go through an authorized Taylor dealer so the claim is processed the right way. Regular maintenance and repairs that are not under warranty can stay with us.
Parts for Taylor repairs are sourced through standard OEM and aftermarket channels. We tell you what we recommend and why.
For most diagnostic and repair work, our tooling and platform experience are enough. If a job needs Taylor proprietary dealer only tools, we say so up front and we point you to the dealer path for that job.
Most of our customers came to us from a national dealer. They were tired of waiting days for a callback and getting an invoice nobody could explain.
Our shop is built around service, with sales and leasing as supporting lines, not the other way around.
We service Taylor fleets across the approved Central Texas service area, with the heaviest Taylor work in these submarkets.
Austin, North Austin, South Austin, and Del Valle. Building materials, concrete and precast, and industrial yards that need a heavy truck for the biggest loads.
Buda and Kyle. Close to our shop. Manufacturing and materials yards where one heavy truck carries the hardest picks.
San Antonio and Schertz. Industrial yards and supply operations with heavy freight and mixed fleets.
Round Rock, Georgetown, and Pflugerville. Plants and regional distribution that keep a heavy capacity truck next to their standard fleet.
New Braunfels, San Marcos, Seguin, and Lockhart. Mid corridor manufacturing, materials, and yard work between the two metros.
For a Taylor fleet in any of these cities, we cover the facility as part of regular service from Buda, not as a special project.
If you run 1 or 2 Taylor forklifts, you are still a customer. With heavy trucks, that is often the whole job. Book a service call and we will treat that machine with the same care we give a 10+ unit fleet.
Or call 512-256-5312.
