Fork Force, one of Australia’s largest forklift providers, offers new and used sales, hire, and in-house servicing across a national network.
The Challenge
Every serviced forklift goes through a mandatory wash down to remove oil, grease and service residue, making a pressure cleaner essential to operations.
But their old non-SPITWATER hot water pressure cleaner was a weak link. It was unreliable, expensive to repair, and took too long to service. With multiple staff using the unit and no room in the budget for lengthy delays or complex fixes, they needed a solution that was simple, tough and cost-effective, especially during a time of business amalgamation.
The Solution
Fork Force upgraded their wash bay with the SPITWATER 13-180H, a compact hot water pressure cleaner that delivers performance and reliability without complexity:
- SPITWATER 13-180H Pressure Cleaner is a hot water pressure cleaner with enough flow and pressure to cut through oil and grease quickly. Suitable for daily use up to 4 hours, perfect for routine forklift servicing.
- Wall-Mounted Hose Reel: Will make access faster and cleaner in the service bay, which keeps hose organised, reducing wear and trip hazards.
- Preventative Maintenance Program: Fork Force joined SPITWATER’s scheduled servicing program, which prevents costly breakdowns and eliminates long wait times for service.

The Results
Fork Force’s decision to switch to SPITWATER paid off immediately:
- Reduced cleaning times, improving service bay throughput
- Reliable daily operation, even in a busy, multi-user environment
- No more frustrating wait times or expensive repairs
- Confidence in after-sales support and scheduled servicing
- Peace of mind with a machine that’s built to last, not break
